Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

MODERATORS
They didn't ask him not to "say 'gay'", as the title all but claims. They asked him to participate in the erasure of a relevant gay person from a story he was teaching to children.
I dunno, would he mention the artist had a straight son? Or is it just a son in that case?
What are you talking about?
Was this guy hanged?
This is the second reply you've made that doesn't make any sense, lol.
OP is making a point that the visibility of queer and other minorities in history and in public is more important than the visibility of straight/non-minority people. Their point was that non-minority groups aren't hated and target for who they are unlike minority groups. It is important to display and teach about the humanity of different groups in order to prevent mistrust and violence against them by the majorities.
If you really didn't understand this then you should get your head out of your ass and wake up to reality.
Calm down, no need to resort to personal insults. Rule #1: Be civil.
It seems the guy you're talking about doesn't understand my point. Here's my other post on the matter that can explain it better for you if you're also having difficulty: https://unilem.org/comment/1447121
homophobes asking for civility always makes me laugh. You first!
Right.
Gonna have to block you now. You don't seem to understand what's going on.
Blocked
Or just explain your case better? It seems you're the one who doesn't understand what I'm saying, based on your other reply.
Lol. Not sure why you're calling me a 'dog.' Let's leave the personal attacks at home, eh?
Wait, was it a relevant person?
It's the son of the artist, right? Did the son have anything to do with Batman? Did the son's sexual orientation have anything to do with Batman?
What else is relevant about the son? Was he an artist? A writer? What did he do for a living? Did he have any relevant health disorders? Food preferences? Did he have any children?
BROADLY SPEAKING, your sexual preferences are the least interesting or relevant things in any conversation, unless we're considering dating each other.
I don't know the history of Batman so maybe it's actually relevant, but my gut says it's just not.
who gives aa shit. telling people what words they can and connote say is the censorship in the extreme.
cannot. for some reason my screen dims when i try to post. won’t post again. for now.
I don't disagree with you at all.
I was responding to someone claiming they were deleting a relevant gay person from history - I was challenging the "relevant" part, that's all.
I personally couldn't care less what this guy put in his presentation.
The son's name is Bruce, his husband's name is Wayne.
Holy crap I've never been so amazed. Yup, 100% relevant.
The son's name was Fred Finger, and he died unmarried in his 40's due to complications from AIDS.
The guy above was joking.
Well it was a good joke.
And that sucks. Fuck AIDS.
My policy has always been that I don't care what you do in your own bedroom unless I'm involved in it, that is. Mainly, I just mean I don't care to know everyone's orientation. It's not something I find relevant in most situations.
Yep, that's my attitude too. Apparently it's unpopular.
What’s your gender identity and sexual orientation?
I identify as tired.
Oh man, I’ve never thought to identify that way. But that’s a good one.
100% stolen from Nanette, a great comedy special/activisty rant by Hannah Gadsby.
Worth a watch even if she's not your cup of tea.
Oh, I remember that. She was pretty great. Gotta see if she has anything new
