Title: Expertly Blocked Text: But their plan was countered by a determined group of queers & anti-fascists. When Voorpost was spotted, they immediately took action. The transphobic banner was expertly blocked in no time with keffiyehs, Palestine and trans flags. Image: Group of people standing in front of Voorpost's banner.

Title: Transphobic Banner Text: Voorpost had set up in the audience section at the start of the Pride parade and brought a transphobic banner that read: "There are only two genders." The intention was to confront the passing Pride Parade. Image: Group of people standing in front of Voorpost's banner. The part of the banner that's visible is circled in red.

Title: Pride is a Protest Text: In Antwerp, the meaning of Pride was turned upside down this weekend: Voorpost, - a homophobic and fascist organization got permission from the city to come and preach hatred at the Antwerp Pride Parade while a peaceful counter-action of anti-fascist queers was brutally suppressed by the police.

#queer #pride#LGBTQ#LGBTQIA #homophobia #comic

A comic titled "Least I Could Do: Beginnings" by Sohmer and Lar. The first row of the comic is one long, wide panel, partly occupied by the title and credit just given. The rest of it shows a pair of white men (everyone in this comic is white) sitting on a park bench, kissing. One of them is blond and clean-shaved, the other is brunette with a beard and mustache, and has their dog on a leash. They both have shorts on, suggesting summertime, and there's a cute heart above their heads. Nearby, another man stands with his small son, who has a balloon and a Popsicle. A blonde woman all buttoned up in a pink business suit and skirt has a pinched, sour expression on her face and is gesturing at the gay guys, asking, "How will you explain this to your child?" The man says, "I'm not sure." He kneels down and asks, "Son? Do you know what you just saw?" The little boy immediately says, "Love." The father prompts, "And?" The boy says, "Bigotry." The blonde woman looks like she's choking on a lemon. Dad stands back up and says to her, "Yeah, no, he's got it." As she storms off, he adds, "Do you want him to explain it to you?" The little boy has a big smile. And a balloon, and a Popsicle.

There are four days left, and we're fast approaching 41,000 participants!

Any shares outside of the white-Tumblr-USA-under30s bubble is really helpful. This year the USA/UK/Canada proportion is lower than last year, so your efforts are working!
