    "Ian McKellen doesn't need anyone's permission to stand on his soapbox.
    In an interview with The Guardian published May 7, the Oscar-nominated actor revealed that he was allegedly discouraged by fellow actor Alec Guinness from speaking out on #LGBTQRights.

    "Guinness, who died in 2000, was an acclaimed British actor, best known among sci-fi fans for his role as Obi-Wan Kenobi in the original 'Star Wars' trilogy.
    While discussing the 'worst piece of advice' he'd ever been given, McKellen recalled an alleged meeting he had with Guinness around the late '80s.

    " 'He took me for an Italian lunch in Pimlico, where we chatted about this and that until he brought up the real reason for his invitation,' McKellen, 86, told the British outlet. 'He had heard about my work to establish #Stonewall – a lobby group to present to the government and the world at large the case for treating U.K. lesbians and gays equally under the law with the rest of the population.

    " 'He thought it somewhat unseemly for an actor to dabble in public or political affairs and advised me, sort of pleaded with me, to withdraw. Advice from an older generation, which I didn't follow.' "

  7. First, they wouldn't agree to a rainbow flag at #Stonewall #NYC; #Biden administration agreed. Then, they wouldn't agree to the modern rainbow flag. Now, they won't fly any rainbow flag, while other flags are given "limited exception(s)".
    Reactions from activists, lawmakers, even #Schumer.

  8. @DeinRUDOLF Wer um 14 Uhr zurückfahren will Richtung Essener Innenstadt kann auch das in einer größeren Gruppe tun. Hier der Aufruf von den Essener Grünen: #Rainbow #Ride mit OB-Kandidatin Inga Marie Sponheuer. Liebe Freund*innen,

    am 28. Juni laden wir euch herzlich zu unserer Fahrrad-Demo zum #Stonewall-Tag ein! Wir starten um 14 Uhr vor der #Zeche #Carl und enden auf dem Kopstadtplatz, wo es Kundgebungen und Reden geben wird.

  9. There is no kind of hate, like Christian love. FL banned pride bridges cuz FL, but protesters marched w/ home made lights. So FL raised the bridge on them(!), cuz FL. So the protesters went to a different bridge & lit it up for pride.

  10. “Trans people are under attack so I am under attack.” I say this because I'm gay. But you should say it, too; because you. Are. Next.
    Remember, Pride is protest. Do not comply in advance. Fight like your life depends on it because it does.
