Disgusting Attitudes and Noble Causes

Posted on March 1, 2015

In the wake of the tragic loss of Leonard Nimoy, you would think that people would be focusing on the loss keenly felt by his fans, his colleagues, his friends and of course, his family.

Unfortunately, there are some parties out there that seem determined to use this occasion to troll and berate. Most notably, the Twitter account of New York Daily News is running a big, bold headline of ‘Captain Jerk’, as William Shatner – James T Kirk on Star Trek and a close friend of Leonard Nimoy – is unable to attend the funeral.

Shatner is attending a charity function to raise awareness of and money for the Red Cross. This has no doubt been prearranged and it is a worthy cause. I very much doubt Shatner has decided he doesn’t want to go to Nimoy’s funeral in favour of this event, but he has made a commitment and he is honouring that commitment, which is what I am sure Nimoy would have wanted.

The attitude of this ‘news’ site is despicable. If you are reading this and on Twitter, I urge you to voice your disgust.

It’s cool if you only like new Trek.

It’s cool if you only like old Trek.

It’s fantastic if you’ve seen every episode.

It’s awesome if you watched a couple of the movies and you feel like you’re a fan.

No matter how much Trek you’ve seen or enjoy, you are welcome here 🖖🖖

Trans people are beautiful. We deserve to exist, our voices heard and our differences validated. We will not be erased. Get your transphobic bullshit outta here. I'm not going anywhere, and neither are my Trans siblings 💙💗🤍💗💙 #TransIsBeautiful #TransRightsAreHumanRights
