Here are 6 reasons why we need a truly queer environmental movement

Y aaaaaaaa wwww nnnnnnnnn!

Is anyone really surprised the lunatics are taking over the asylum.

It's really not that hard to get your head around.

In most countries in the world, LGBTQ people face degrees of social stigma and discrimination that leaves them more at risk of insecure housing, unstable housing, and homelessness. In the circumstances of a climate change event, they are therefore more at risk due to their precarious living situations.

A quick scroll through shows almost no interaction with anyone.

Tbf I do not know how Twitter works, but there seems to be few comments on his tweets, even fewer likes.

It’s on the FotE website.

If they can’t be bothered fact checking their website, what else can’t they be bothered fact checking?

Same.

Are they saying that if you live on / near a river flood plain, then when it bursts its banks, the river will carefully bypass your house if you are straight but target your property if you are same sex oriented or identify as the opposite sex? I can’t really see how it would work like that.

Or are they saying that higher proportions of the population are gay in low lying countries like Bangladesh than in mountainous countries like Nepal?

Nah mate that’s bullshit.

Im going to guess that women and children are up the creak without a paddle (especially black women and women of colour).

But you keep convincing yourself how hard you have it.

The ironic thing is because of your very privilege you have no idea of the real impact of climate change.

I agree. It's like their embedded entitlement makes them think that their wants and needs trump everyone else's. And yet they label themselves victims.

What's weirder is how much this is being pandered to. It's like a magnet for narcissists, but so many people don't see that.

This shite takes away from the fact that the climate crisis DOES affect certain groups more than others. Notably poor people in the Global South. Other groups in the West are older people, disabled people, people with MH and PH issues, homeless people, poorer people.

People who look like the writer are 100% NOT the people affected most.

But they published it on their website, so it must have gone through some sort of screening process.

Abject nonsense like this is doing way more harm than good to the environmental movement. How can any normal person take green parties and charities like FoE seriously when they deny science and reality in this way?
He/they’s kind of myopic bellendery is driving people away from green causes in droves.

Plus all that weird hair dye and excess hormones washing into out waterways cant be good for the environment can it? 🙄

Quick squizz at the insta shows they is not straight, but def rich, white, western and male - certainly not marginalised by climate change. Unless holidaying in New Zealand and hanging out with a bunch of mates at Glasto is what marginalised means nowadays. I wonder if New Zealand was reached by boat.

Good guessing from@JaninaDuszejko there!

Here is they. 👀

Just when you think you've heard it all....

Counter-suggestion: the environmental movement is already being badly damaged from too much of an association with these types of weirdos.

But with blue hair

Who's betting Lewis is white, wealthy, western, non-disabled, male, and heterosexual.

You’d think someone might have reviewed it and then told the writer to get a grip and stop imagining himself and his rainbow coloured band as the main characters

instead they published it on their website.

I’m even more angry now, having looked at the 6 reasons.

1. ‘queer’ people are the mostest marginalised and vulnerable group that have ever existed.
2. ’queer’ people are super special and can think of things those boring normies couldn’t possibly imagine
3. somehow climate change is caused by gender
4. Queer people are special because they are keen on reimagining reality to suit themselves
5. Some utterly myopic bullshit about social justice that somehow fails to recognise that white middle class Americans positioning themselves as more vulnerable than subsistence farmers whose lives have been wiped out by flooding in South Sudan (for example) is the opposite of actual social justice
6. queer people are the only people who know how to protest. Any other movement can only be successful if it’s holding the furry costume tails of the alphabet soup of identity

So yes, this is all about erasing women, their history and the cross society global wide fact that women are subjected to male exploitation

So, no change there then.
