Sometimes the Onion misses, but when they hit, they fuckin hit.
He called covering trans issues "charity". What a piece of shit. A-gay drop-the-t behavior.
It's self sabotage too - once you start splintering off pieces of the movement for liberation it's only a matter of time until you're the only one left and they come for you next.
This goes doubly because trans communities can be fairly well organized. I often see a very strong trans presence in queer spaces simply because we need to make up lack in numbers with determination and because we feel a stronger pressure to defend ourselves.
This is what pinkwashed capitalism gets us. I wonder if he's aware that the same advertisers will drop cis gay gossip outlets playing into respectability politics as well once transphobia has been used as a door opener to roll back the incredibly recent, still incomplete denormalization of homophobia, or if he's just the average corporate ghoul who can't think past the next three month's KPIs.
Gunning for the kapo position in the camps
Besides being spineless and pathetic, if I've learned anything about the Internet it's that the machine literally runs on outrage. If you are a lightning rod for outrage, you're a lightning rod for money. Think about the payout Imane Khelif is about to get from terf woman and divorced science dad. People cannot get enough being mad. You have the perfect machine for it in the Internet. People need to take breaks from making millions on the Internet because they get so fucking mad so fucking often they need to go touch grass. People spend billions and billions trying to get people to look at them while they're getting mad. And you're telling me you're getting hits on "contentious content" and you're upset about it? It jeopardizes ad revenue? GET NEW AD REVENUE! IT'S THERE! BLUE CHEW TOOK OUT ADS ON THE CUM TOWN PODCAST AND YOU'RE TELLING ME YOU CANT GET A RAID SHADOW LEGENDS TO SPONSOR PINK NEWS? GET AN INTERN TO SEND AI GENERATED LETTERS TO POTENTIAL SPONSORS. YOU HAVE A HOT COMMODITY AND YOU'RE THROWING IT IN THE GARBAGE.
All you'd need to do is open a comments section under your articles and give an ally mod powers (give them $200/mo and never look at it again to avoid every headache) and you'd get infinity traffic to your website - enjoy your yacht.

Tagline maybe
I thought I knew all those words.
Color me surprised that a liberal cis gay man is being the weakest link in the chain when it comes to giving a shit about our rights.

Is there a good site for queer news that isn't ran by terfs?
hexbear.net
based
https://www.erininthemorning.com/ seems good from what i can tell. she focuses particularly on trans legislation.
Erin is usually the most thorough source for the US, i hope somebody can name a comparable British outlet as well given that it's on the forefront of fighting against trans rights in the imperial core and has some of the most openly transphobic journalists even outside of conservative sites.
She's a reputable source, but the total focus on electoralism seems very 
to me
it is very lib. but given the amount of active hate legislation coming out of state bodies across the country, her thoroughness is welcome. necessary but not sufficient.

There's Xtra, it's Canada based but it covers some American stuff too, and it doesn't shy away from trans issues.
Cool will use this going forward. I didn't browse pinknews that much but I'd just rather avoid products ran by bigots where I can.
pink news is based on terf island, they simply want the terf money
How are you gonna be a news site and not cover news? It's in the name. Trans news is news, and if anything trans news is highly related to other news. Often other news is news-ing because of Trans news.
That's what you get for making things political, sweetie.

the T in UlyssesT stands for Transrights
cis white gay men once again being the worst fuckin allies
7 times out of ten they are the most pathetic nazis.
they still teach Niemöller's poem I assume, but it sure seems like liberals don't understand it
EVERYBODY IN, NOBODY OUT.
To be fair, Niemöller did support Hitler.
And pink news is what exactly?
And pink news is what exactly?
Especially now, 
covering transgender issues will cause them to lose advertisers.
Capitalist booklicker shit

I saw some of their articles a few years ago and I knew something was off
I hope this rag burns the fuck down then
It seems like the owners have been scum for a long time too. Apparently the faked having POC content contributors for years after they left (some calling the management culture racist when they did) by reposting old videos with black creators but having white people write articles under the same bylines in order to defraud a fund that donated to media orgs featuring black content creators...
hexbear should create a new site called PinkoNews
What’s next? My beloved site Hexbear turns out to be full of libs so as not to alienate porky?
hexbear will eventually become an adhoc linkedin networking site
