“The video would have opened up for debate the value of trans visibility"

Which is precisely ZERO.

FReepers know this so well, by now it's absolutely transparent:

Communist goals;

23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. "Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art."

24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.

25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.

26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."

Amy Sherald Cancels Her [largely unnoticed] Smithsonian Show, Citing [anticipated, perhaps hoped-for, but so far non-existent] Censorship. . .

All I can say is, "Don't let the door hit ya where the Good Lord split ya--if yiz can find it with both hands."

Her objective is propaganda and that’s what is being limited.

Have you missed the memo that went out during the Obama era?

You need to applaud these people constantly. You have to shower them with positive attention because of what they like to do in bed and feel they need to explain to everyone in vivid detail.

You need to tell them they are hero's for having some sexual preference (AKA fetish: we all have them but theirs are special) and need you to affirm them daily, even hourly.

You need to attend the semi-voluntary LGBTQIA+ lunch during the gay pride month in June.

If you miss that, no worries, there are many other (paid for with tax money events in the federal government: but the Boy Scouts were banned years past from using government space FYI) events you can go to to show your support. In fact, it was even written into your performance evaluation in some of the government if you attend these functions, or not!

These people are used to having Hollywood victimize them and make them out as hero's, and happy folks that love each other and want children (Because of where they stick their penis!). There are gay magazines, gay movies, gay TV channels, gay vacation destinations, gay TV news anchors, gay, gay, gay. Only the sexual preferences that deal with gender confusion and homosexuality in some way are deemed as "special."

If you don't jump up and down and scream “Yay gay” you are homophobic and mean spirited.

Frankly, I do not care what people do in their bedroom. It's none of my business!

There are over 1,100 sexual fetishes (from Acrobatic - Zoophillia), and by the time you're an adult, every single person out there has their preferences (most being legal and more mainstream).

These people want to shove their sexual fantasies and preferences under your nose and expect you to pat them on the back for it.

If you do not affirm their sexual preferences, their super fragile feelings get hurt!!!

Are we supposed to recognize that this ridiculous image is a tranny or some other sort of pervert?

The draftsmanship is not good enough to suggest that. It looks like comic-book art--but less refined.

No, the reality is that her “art” stinks on rocks and having to hear everyone pan her stuff was more than she could take.

“Amy Sherald Cancels Her Smithsonian Show, Citing Censorship”

Thats exactly how it is supposed to work.

You make disgusting “art”, fine, but we don’t have to look at it.
