With the rush for the doors, would Yakety Sax be more appropriate?

The event deserved a plague of locusts, but I’ll accept this as a reasonable substitute.

Most members of the LGB alliance are straight and the few LGB members hate each other. The gays hate the lesbians there, the lesbians hate the gays, they both hate the bisexuals (who are a minority within the minority), and the only thing keeping them together is their hatred of trans people.

At some point the alliance will collapse, and trans people will be supplying popcorn to anyone watching.

I do feel bad for the crickets, released into such a toxic environment. Hope they escaped to better places for them.

Their pearl clutching about exposing teens to danger by involving them in peaceful protest and harmless pranks rings pretty damn hollow considering the direct harms their organization is perpetrating against trans youths. Projection and hypocrisy really is standard procedure for fascists, innit?

Not sure this is just pearl clutching over the safety of kids. Sounds like some projection too, that because of what they did, the kids should not be safe. They released some insects. It is not a big deal. The only dangerous part is the conference leaders choosing to have security “apprehend” the kids and then call the police.
Great job protecting children by calling the cops over a harmless prank, ya git.

Because nothing like this happened in the 1980s

If anything, we’re being far too restrained.

(Lyrics say Clause 29, but another clause was removed so it became Clause/Section 28)

Fleas would have been funnier.
