North Carolina county orders museum to pull this photo

[Demovictory9]

Gaston County, North Carolina’s County Manager Kim Eagle ordered the staff at the county operated and funded Gaston County Museum in Dallas, to remove a photograph showing two men kissing taken by Charlotte-based photographer Grant Baldwin at the 2019 Charlotte Pride removed.

The Charlotte Observer reported that museum staff ask Baldwin for a replacement “that would be more considerate of differing viewpoints in the community.”

1. '...more considerate of differing viewpoints in the community...'

Nor all cis-oriented people are intolerant shithogs, Ms. Eagle. Speak for your own damn self and let everyone else decide whether they want to avert their tender eyes.

6. This makes me want to post flyers of same sex and queer couples kissing

throughout the library where I work. This request came from someone whose values I find deeply offensive. I’m sure anything they would think was “more considerate of differing viewpoints” would be a celebratory vision of heteronormativity. 🤬
