Picture shows a pride parade. A group of people are carrying a banner that says "LOCKHEED MARTIN" over a rainbow graphic.

But there are employees of the company who apparently support both (and good for them)

God, what the fuck is wrong with you people. "Good for people to be able to both be supportive of LGBTQ+ and support the military industry of an imperialist country like the US!!". Fuck you, honestly

That imperialist country is really the leading force in pushing for LGBTQ rights globally. So keep stanning dictatorships where queer people would be bullied at best, routinely tortured and murdered at worst.

Almost as if, hear me out, I won't praise any private company whose profit motive is making killing easier :0

The INSTITUTIONS of the US in general aren't responsible for the social progress in feminism and LGBTQ+ and racial issues, let alone the military or the industrial complex behind it. It's the people in the US who are behind all of this momentum, despite the institutions fighting against it as we can see with the recent Roe v Wade incident or the oppression of trans rights by republicans. These social victories have been achieved DESPITE the US institutions and the military industrial complex NOT BECAUSE of them.

Do you happen to know what the polling was for approval of interracial marriage at the time of Loving v. Virginia? Just curious.
