| Comment | They've also retro-transed the Buddhist deity, Guanyin. You would think something so important would be mentioned in their highly comprehensive Wikipedia page. But, no - It's merely an invention of curator Laura Bauld. And the accompanying condescending information cards tell us nothing else about Guanyin, just "Trans Rights Are Human Rights. Be more like Guanyin"
She's also done something similar with Saint Sebastian; telling us he is a gay icon because "The arrows fired into his body are like the words that can still prick us as LGBTQI+ individuals.” (Laura is a heterosexual biological woman, btw). They've shoehorned dubious "LGBTQ+" histories into all manner of exhibitions. |
