First known all-lgtbq+ crew. I'd bet somewhere around the world this already happened but purely by day-to-day business.

i'm of two minds. one is "finally, after all these years of allegedly all straight crews"
the other is "the messaging is 'put all the queers on the queer flight, they don't belong'" and that thought came first and isn't a positive thought

what Luffy said.
Liberals job is up maintain the status quo of capitalism. everything else is pandering.
instead of coming out with reform noon discrimatory practices, or say/do something against the incoming fascism, they pull this useless symbolic stunt.
like with the BLM protests, all they offered is painting a street and raising police budgets.
liberals always go for symbolic change and pandering rather than actual reform

So, my definition of Liberal is „That dude who goes to Starbucks every day with their macbook, sipping their Capitalist coffee from their 30th stanley cup, and livestreaming on instagram and tiktok about how the algorithm and capitalism is soo bad and fascism is on the rise while riding their Tesla“
Given that, he might try to say what I was saying in another post, that just waving a pride flag around and screaming „Lgbt is so special“ does not progress the acceptance of Lgbt people. Its like making a company wide ceremony every time a woman comes to work. Instead, we should actually do something about fascism

Yay, sure, but
Implying something like LGBT folk working is something special undermines the fight for social equality by the people by portraying these people as something less than normal
