#LGBTQRights #PrideMonth #CherryPicking

Every June we celebrate Pride Month, a moment to highlight and bring awareness to LGBTQ+ issues and accomplishments. In order to bring this topic to light, we invite you to explore a very interesting phenomenon: democratic socialists of today pose as champions of the LGBTQ+ cause, while also idolizing Socialists leaders of the past. This is a classic example of cherry-picking facts – and we explain why this is problematic.
