whatever it takes @captainfrisbees - Tumblr Blog

New Tumblr!

After taking a 6-year Tumblr hiatus, I have decided to move to a new account -- @inkmaw. As this is a primarily Marvel-themed blog and I no longer really follow Marvel, I felt like it was time for a change!

If anybody is seeing this, feel free to follow me at the new blog :)

There’s the element of choice within what you’re doing. And the Marvel stuff isn’t going to last forever. Even though I love doing it, I want to have variety in my life and career.

Being shortsighted isn’t a good look.

1972- Wrote a letter in support of abolishing all laws dealing with abortion, sexual behavior (adultery, homosexuality, etc.), and drugs

1983 - Bernie Sanders signed the first proclamation to create the first Gay & Lesbian Pride Day in Burlington, VT

1985 - Burlington passes proclamation protecting LGBTQ people from housing and employment discrimination

1993 - When Congress members attacked non-discrimination in DC, Sanders voted “no”

1993 - Voted “no” on ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’

1995 - Sanders rebuked Rep. Randy “Duke” Cunningham for using the word “homos” when talking about gay people in the military

1996 - Voted against the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA)

1999 - When Congress tried to keep domestic partners from adopting children in DC, Sanders voted “no”

2001 - When Congress tried to keep domestic partners from receiving health benefits, Sanders challenged it

2004 - Voted against the constitutional amendment banning gay marriage

2007 - Voted to expand and strengthen penalties for violent crimes committed in the basis of sexual orientation

2009 - Voted to expand federal hate crimes to cover offenses motivated by gender identity and sexual orientation

2009 - Supported Vermont’s first-in-the-country law legalizing gay marriage

2010 - Voted to overturn “don’t ask, don’t tell”

2011 - Called on President Obama to support marriage equality

2013 - Co-sponsored the Employment Non-Discrimination Act

2014 - Co-sponsored the International Human Rights Defense Act

2015 - Co-sponsored Civil Rights to include sexual orientation and gender identity protected categories

2016 - Co-sponsored Bill to designate June 26, 2016 as LGBTQ Equality Day

2016 - Bernie condemned conversion therapy

2017 - Co-sponsored the Every Child Deserves a Family Act which prohibits foster care entities from receiving federal assistance if they discriminate against prospective LGBTQ parents

2018 - Committed to passing the Equality Act

2019 - Has proposed a comprehensive housing plan that addresses societal homelessness, which disproportionately impacts the LGBTQ community

2019 - Committed to advancing policies that ensure fair treatment for transgender people who are targeted by police unfairly

But yeah, Bernie Sanders “skipping” a forum on LGBTQ rights to host campaign rallies is breaking news

For anyone that thinks Bernie Sanders wouldn't be the biggest LGBTQ advocate to EVER be elected to the office of the president

advanced-procrastination

People posting and reblogging posts misconstruing small events in order to persuade people away from supporting good democratic candidates? Why does that sound familiar?

While I agree with most of this? The implication that Sanders would be a bigger advocate for LGBT rights as President than Pete Buttigieg is... Bad. It's just very bad.

Pete Buttigieg came out in 2014, Bernie's been fighting for our community decades before most he was born.

Just because someone is gay or trans doesn't automatically make them a good advocate for the community, think of people like Milo Yiannopouls who is extremely transphobic, or someone like Caitlin Jenner that lets be honest set the community back a few years. Barney Frank, a gay man, and organizations like the HRC helped push trans people under the bus and used as a bargaining chip to pass an exclusionary ENDA. Hell the head of HRC at the time said trans rights would be recognized over her dead body!

By your logic, Ben Carson or Candice Owens are better advocates for the Black community than white allies who fought for Civil Rights (including one Bernard Sanders, but that's beside the point).

I know plenty of Jewish people who don't think Bernie is the best candidate for Jews in America just because he's Jewish himself - note I personally am a Jewish person he thinks he is, but it's because of his policies, not because he's also Jewish.

You aren't suddenly a better advocate for the community than someone who was fighting for the community before you were born just because you happen to be apart of the community.

So let me ask, in what ways will Pete Buttigieg be better than Bernie? What plans for advancing the community has he put forward? Is it more empty platitudes about how "this isn't us" or "the US can be better" or whatever? I follow politics pretty closely and I couldn't tell you outside some empty lines on his campaign website and saying he'd update the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to include gay people (which literally every other Democratic candidate supports).

All I'm saying is, if I'm going to pick someone who I think will be better for the community, I'm picking the guy with decades of history of fighting for us. The bad take is assuming the gay guy is best for my queer trans ass just because he's gay.
