[–] percent@infosec.pub 15 points 1 year ago (1 child) I tend to check social media much less than the average person, so this might be a really dumb question, but... Why is it a brick? Does it symbolize something? Is it tool? Or a weapon? Or just some form of art? permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] PugJesus@lemmy.world [S] 23 points 1 year ago (2 children) LGBT history, I believe - the Stonewall Riots were a pivotal event in LGBT awareness and fighting for their rights. As it was a, well, riot, bricks were used, as is common for people spontaneously deciding to fight the power - a sort of "We didn't come here to brawl, but we'll tear up the streets if you want to make it one" energy. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago (1 child) It's rumour that the riot "officially begun" with a brick being thrown too. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] dumples@midwest.social 4 points 1 year ago And that brick was thrown by a trans woman. That's a definitely fact for sure permalink fedilink source parent [–] percent@infosec.pub 3 points 1 year ago Ah, so it's symbolic and artistic.
