Like, stop.
You don't like another person's viewpoint on this, then fine, congratulations.
But you taking offense to his assessment of Nick's opportunism and privilege doesn't make Saeed's perspective any less valid.
Saeed has BEEN an advocate for gays, POC and women and social issues and all the things that a certain population on this forum hates (I wonder why?).
His tweets packed a punch and the truth stung some of y'all a bit.

Despite how ****ed up I find this particular situation to be, it's good he at least tried to use the role for good.
I'm can't drag him for this, I'm dragging the organisers. The fact that they'd let a white straight man have that role over a queer person of colour is .. telling and disrespectful to say the least.

Sums up how I feel. Coincidentally he has an album streeting this week - this is in no way comparable to Gaga, who is bisexual and has been an outspoken advocate for LGBTQ+ rights.
While it is nice that he is showing his support, it absolutely was wrong of the organizers to have him speak.... especially given Stonewall's history with trans activists of color.... regardless of his intentions, it still comes off completely wrong.
