The Universal Declaration of Human Rights

The conversation around Charlie Kirk's murder has the usual suspects screaming about a "woke agenda." Let's be direct: this is a fascist lie designed to distract from their own authoritarian goals.

They project. They attack. They reverse the victim and offender. It's a tired playbook.

Adopt the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as your moral compass and this whole fake culture war falls apart.

Article 2: Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status.

Other status. That includes us. Read it.

We aren't asking for special treatment. We are demanding the rights you already have. The right to exist in public (Article 13). The right to access public service (Article 21). The right to participate in culture (Article 27).

Our existence is not an ideology. Our demand to not be discriminated against is not "woke." It is a foundational principle of human dignity (Article 1).

So who is the real authoritarian here?

It's not the trans person asking for healthcare under Article 25. It's the politician banning it.

It's not the queer kid looking for a book under Article 19. It's the church lady burning it.

It's not the drag queen reading to children under Article 27. It's the "family values" group trying to silence them.

The real bullies are the ones whose entire political project is about stripping rights, rolling back recognition, and removing access for a minority group they don't like. They violate the very concept of universal human rights daily and have the audacity to call us the tyrants.

If you genuinely believed in liberty, you would leave us the hell alone to live our lives. Your obsession with what's in our pants, how we worship, and who we love is creepy and weird. It screams of projection.

The groomers aren't at the library. They're in the pulpits and the legislatures, pointing fingers at us to keep you from looking at them. They want you furious about a rainbow T-shirt while they dismantle the very idea of universal rights for all.

So cut the bullshit. Live your life. Celebrate your holidays. We truly do not care. All we want is the same right to do the same, protected by the same principles that are supposed to guarantee dignity for every human on this planet.

The problem isn't us asking for rights. The problem is you denying them.
