“Former culture undersecretary Vittorio Sgarbi defends the girl who climbed Giambologna’s Bacchus statue in Florence miming a sexual act. ‘It is a transfiguration: when art is truer than life. An amorous exaltation. No real man can compete with Cellini’s Perseus. A drunk girl performs a critical act, not an erotic one.’”
the way sesame street, a pbs puppet show for literal babies, is pressing on with pride content despite vitriolic monsters descending on every post to insinuate they’re pedophiles or demons while some of the biggest companies on the planet who could swim in olympic swimming pools of money like scrooge mcduck on steroids buckle and cave just emphasizes how completely and utterly pathetic these corporations are. they’d butcher a baby if it meant saving a penny.

where Starbucks and Target and Budweiser will be bullied into submission with the slightest push, puppets and people in your neighborhood stand tall
Sesame Workshop has been doing pride stuff since 2017. The Muppet Wiki has a nice list of stuff they’ve done:
Jim Henson supported his openly queer colleagues in the 1970s! The Muppet performer Richard Hunt was majorly influential on Sesame Street, the Muppet Show, and Fraggle Rock.
They also dumped Chick-fil-A in 2012 when CFA made their stance on gay marriage known.
It would be a dishonor to their memories for the Jim Henson Company to kowtow to queerphobic demands when their namesake always stood for diversity and acceptance of everyone, and it makes me proud to be a Muppet fan to see that insisted upon 💖🌈
i think that all the people who argue about gender by saying “the woke left cant even define a woman” need to get hit with the “who are you” question by a buddhist monk. no, thats your name, who are you. no thats your profession, who are YOU. no you fucking idiot thats your species, who are YOUU. dumb bitch u cant even define yourself
