Danish Cartoon On Display in SeattleFinally!
Okay, it’s on Seattle’s light poles, and not in any of Seattle’s newspapersyetbut I was pleased to find this flyer tacked up on Capitol Hill this morning.
I’m not sure where the quote is from, or if the person or persons behind the poster wrote it. Either way, I love it. I couldn’t agree more. Bravo. If the folks who did this are reading this blog, keep putting ‘em up!
And the appearance of this poster on Capitol Hillthe most liberal neighborhood in one of the West Coast’s most liberal citiesgives the lie to this right-wing talking point: The left doesn’t care about this issue, and is willing to cede free speech to mollify Islamic haters. It’s not true, and this poster is evidence that it’s not true.
Yay! Liberal queers can be just as pointlessly inflammatory as right-wing fundamentalist whackos! What a great day it is for equality and free speech. We'll show those haters what 'childish' really means.
