A wonderful ballad by Anna Varney, taken from the Album "Dead Lovers' Sarabande (Face One)", released in 1999.
Face Two of this work completes the concept that tells of the death of a loved one, seen through Anna-Varney's eyes.
I felt the need to upload another Sopor video for more reasons than only the music this time. Anna Varney Cantodea, besides being a musician and activist for animal rights, is a trans woman and sort of an LGBTQIA+ icon in the goth scene.
You probably have noticed the rainbow flag in the lower right corner of the vid. Why I added it as a hetero cis guy you might ask yourself.
Over the last few days I saw so much cynical hate and contempt against all kinds of LGBTQIA+ related people on Twitter. Now you might think that Twitter is the toilet of the internet anyway, so I shouldn't be surprised. Even though I don't hold Twitter to high standards anyway - what I saw over the last few days took the cake. Easily.
The cherry on top of the shit cake: The German newspaper "Welt" (one of the putrid, pus-filled print products of the infamous und utterly revolting "Axel Springer Verlag", a HORRIBLE German publishing house that also releases abysmal tabloid crap like the equalliy revolting "Bild Zeitung") released a downright ultra-right wing hate article against anything LGBTQIA+ in "Welt" which was the straw that broke the camels' back - with me being the camel.
I got wind of that pamphlet through a YT video by The German Youtuber "Der Dunkle Parabelritter", who tears this piece of junk to shreds:

Please watch it, it's brillant! It's in German, so I apologise to all non-german people here, but I just cannot paraphrase everything he said in that vid. It's simply too much.
Bottom line:
How hard can it be to let people be who they are? What's happened to common sense? You don't need to be a hardcore super politically correct LGBTQIA+ activist to let people simply live their lives! All you need to do is - nothing. Even the biggest moron on this planet can do that.
And, this goes straight to the "Axel Springer Verlag": You're a case for the Deutsche Presserat (German Press Council) at least, if not even for the prosecutor. Your pamphlets have NOTHING to do with journalism. This is mass instigation imho.
And to all people who still have an ounce of common courtesy and sense dwelling in the grey matter between their ears: Happy Pride Month!
