This graphic, while I understand and sympathize as I would also resort to self-defensive violence if necessary, just cracks me up.

This graphic, while I understand and sympathize as I would also resort to self-defensive violence if necessary, just cracks me up.

An assault rifle silhouette above the words "Defend Equality" on top of a rainbow pride flag.

It cracks me up because in 2006, at the age of 23, I got in 'trouble' for creating a graphic of a very swastika-like symbol where the symbol was covered with the pride rainbow.

19 years later, I just laugh now as I watch the narrative shift around shit everyone looked down and ridiculed me for.

Oh, that's a good question! It was not, at that time, meant to be what some people mean for it to be now: an LGBTQ+ gestapo-like force I think. The context was it's ~ooown~ whole thing relying on historical context of the swastika before Germany and tied it to some non-Theosophical new age stuff.
