Addressing anti-LGBTQ politicians and right-wing activists deliberately stoking hatred, crafting anti-LGBTQ legislation, and targeting drag-related events and LGBTQ venues, Haynes said: “Don’t you realize the damage you are doing? You are saying and doing this without understanding the consequences, and without understanding how it makes an LGBTQ person feel. You are deliberately stoking the anger and irrationality of people who want to hate, allowing them to justify their actions. It’s time for every human, every person with compassion in this country, to stand up for their fellow Americans. It’s about humanity.”
Haynes wandte sich an Anti-LGBTQ-Politiker und rechte Aktivisten, die absichtlich Hass schüren, Anti-LGBTQ-Gesetze ausarbeiten und auf Drag-bezogene Veranstaltungen und LGBTQ-Veranstaltungsorte abzielen, sagte Haynes: „Ist Ihnen nicht klar, welchen Schaden Sie anrichten? Sie sagen und tun dies, ohne die Konsequenzen zu verstehen und ohne zu verstehen, wie sich eine LGBTQ-Person dabei fühlt. Sie schüren bewusst die Wut und Irrationalität von Menschen, die hassen wollen, und erlauben ihnen, ihre Handlungen zu rechtfertigen. Es ist Zeit für jeden Menschen, jede Person mit Mitgefühl in diesem Land, sich für ihre amerikanischen Mitbürger einzusetzen. Es geht um Menschlichkeit.“
Ok das ist nur eins, doch hierüber muss geredet werden und Respekt zeigen:
Demisexualität ist eine sexuelle Orientierung, die sich zwischen Allosexualität und Asexualität verorten lässt.
Demisexuelle Menschen fühlen sich nur dann zu einer anderen Person körperlich / sexuell hingezogen, wenn sie eine langfristige emotionale Bindung zu dieser Person aufgebaut haben. Eine emotionale Bindung führt dabei nicht immer zu sexueller Anziehung. Sie ist jedoch die Voraussetzung dafür, dass
überhaupt eine sexuelle Anziehung entsteht. Viele demisexuelle Menschen fühlen sich nur selten zu anderen Personen sexuell hingezogen, weshalb sie häufig zur asexuellen Community gezählt werden.
And it happens world wide every day!
Law degree, first lecture. The professor enters the lecture hall and looks around with interest. Then his gaze lingers on a student.
“You there, in the eighth row. Can you tell me your name?” he asks a student. "My name is Sandra," she replies.
“Please leave my lecture hall. I don't want to see you in my lecture."
It's dead quiet. The student is confused, packs up her things and gets up.
“Faster please!” the professor demands frantically.
She doesn't dare to say anything and leaves the lecture hall.
The professor keeps looking around. The participants are scared.
"Why are there laws?" he asks the group. Nobody says anything, everyone looks at the others.
"What are laws for?" he asks again, sharply.
"Social order," one hears from a row. A student says: "To protect a person's personal rights." Another calls out: "So that you can rely on the state."
The professor is clearly dissatisfied.
"Justice!" shouts another student.
The professor smiles. She has his attention.
"Thank you very much! Did I behave unfairly towards your fellow student earlier?”
Everyone nods.
'Indeed I have. But why didn't anyone protest? Why didn't any of you try to stop me? Why didn't you want to prevent this injustice«, he asks.
Nobody answers.
“What you just learned here, you wouldn't have understood in a thousand hours of lectures if you hadn't lived to see it. You didn't say anything just because you weren't affected yourself. This attitude speaks against you and against life. You think as long as it doesn't concern you, it's none of your business.
I'm telling you, if you don't say anything today and don't stand up for justice, then one day you too will experience injustice and no one will stand up to you. Justice lives through us all. We have to fight for it.
In life and at work, we often live next to each other instead of with each other. We console ourselves that the problems of others are none of our business. We go home and are glad that we were not affected. But it's also about standing up for others.
Every day an injustice happens in business, in sports or on the tram. Relying on someone to sort it out is not enough. It is our duty to be there for others. Speaking for others when they cannot speak for themselves. And remember, you are always more when you stick together!
