Related: About this forumI'm sorry but this really makes me angry.
Trans people are under attack in a big way, and gay rights are being chipped away while queer people are being labeled "groomers" by the far right in order to other them and further erode gay acceptance, and Dr. Jill Biden decides at the beginning of Pride month to unveil a stamp honouring...
Nancy Reagan.
It's so absurd as to be satire, but no, this is apparently a thing that is happening.

(1,962 posts)We have not forgotten what the true Nancy Reagan was like. Honoring her on a stamp, while we are under attack by the UltraMAGAs, during Pride Month, really bothers me.
I don't think Nancy Reagan belongs on a stamp, period... But not in 2022, and definitely not in June 2022.

(5,781 posts)Yes, she is part of our history, but let's leave it there and not white wash her history of advocating against equality for everyone.
Is Governor Wallace next on the stamp, with a Confederate flag?
Why can't these people be part of a chapter in American history titled, "Leave that ideology behind"and only look back for reference of what not to do. We don't have time for these people anymore, there are more pressing issues.

(1,962 posts)They view themselves as one tight-knit club.
Joke's gonna be on them when they realize that Melanie Drumpf has no intention to play nice or be part of the club or show the same respect that other first ladies show to each other.
But that said.. This really is poor timing, Jill. The LGBTQ community knows the Reagans were not our friends, and we have not forgotten their bigotry.
