Queen Elizabeth is still the worst

So my Facebook feed is blowing up with “Long live the Queen!” and it’s making me sick. It’s all about a “pledge against discrimination,” which the Daily Mail is reporting Queen Elizabeth will be signing on camera. The pledge states the monarchy is“implacably opposed to all forms of discrimination, whether rooted in gender, race, colour, creed, political belief or other grounds.” It will be the first time the Queen has lent her support to the gay community, assuming discrimination against queers is filed under “other grounds.”

Dear gays. Please calm down. Queen Elizabeth is head of the Church of England, which is an anti-gay establishment. Her “pledge against discrimination” is not being issued or recognized by her church. This is hypocrisy at its finest. The Queen is no hero, and I don’t believe in revering someone who rules Canada with tyranny. If you think Queen Elizabeth is just some dumb old bitch who smiles and waves a lot, you’re only partially right, ‘cuz this dumb old bitch owns you:

I think I’ll “queen out” for the Queen when she spends some of her rumoured 33-trillion pound fortune on preventing homelessness, drug abuse and the spread of HIV/AIDS, which are causes that will benefit the gay community a hell of a lot more than some fucking pledge.
