Thank Dog for Fred Sargeant who keeps calling out the rewriting of gay history, especially regarding the Stonewall Riots. He was there, but still cops abuse from Jenny Come Latelys who weren’t even born at the time.
‘Who controls the past,’ ran the Party slogan, ‘controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.’ And yet the past, though of its nature alterable, never had been altered. Whatever was true now was true from everlasting to everlasting. It was quite simple. All that was needed was an unending series of victories over your own memory. ‘Reality control’, they called it: in Newspeak, ‘doublethink’. – Orwell, Nineteen Eighty-Four
It’s the 50th anniversary of the first LGBTQ+ group in Dublin … By the late 1970’s, the National LGBT Federation had begun to organise an annual Dublin Pride week … Following the release of the killers of Declan Flynn, outrage from both the LGBTQ+ community and wider society led to the first large scale protest …
I am a lesbian. I came out over fifty years ago. Okay, I’m English, not Irish, but no one then talked about the ‘LGBTQ+ community’; it is a very recent invention. A quick check on the web shows me what I expect: that there was no ‘National LGBT Federation’ in Ireland in the late seventies. The organisation that was established then was called the National Gay Federation (NGF). This is an insult to the people who campaigned for lesbian and gay rights, in many cases risking careers, friendships and family ties.
Holy shit, Dublin Pride has incorporated that lie into their Twitter image. It’s quite an obvious fake in this instance, but they won’t even acknowledge what they have done when people challenge them to justify themselves.
I think it’s rather amusing (and revealing) that the Oppressed Group which has managed to get law enforcement involved in displaying Pride symbols and enforcing penalties for “transphobia” has removed the sign saying “THE POLICE AREN’T ON YOUR SIDE EITHER.” Um, no — the police ARE on your side.
It’s not at all an “obvious addition”–it’s a photoshop of a sign in the photograph, and it was made to blend in. And of course, the fakery isn’t obvious to young people for whom 1983 is ancient history. Young people who are being fed lies about how “trans women” were there all along, leading the movement for gay rights and starting the Stonewall riots.
Let the record show that this half-assed disclaimer was posted only after many people pointed out Dublin Pride’s duplicity.
We’re told that the upcoming generation of digital natives are instinctively wise to this sort of manipulation and that, for them, it is an “obvious addition”. It’s only dinosaurs like us who get suckered by Trump and Brexit.
Is there nothing they won’t steal?

Holy shit.
TRAs are trying to control the past to mislead those who are too young to know better, which is despicable.
Isn’t that their mission statement, or maybe their motto?
Evidently the photograph was doctored to lend credence to the big lie in the text beneath:

The T and the Q are comparatively recent additions. We are, of course, not allowed to point that out.
I had to do a smidgen of poking around, since no direct link was provided, but here is where Stalin goes, “Da. I approve.”

Dublin Pride have now added a tweet calling the Photoshop an “obvious addition.”
