The shirts are being pulled from circulation and I honestly still feel like I am dreaming because this is such a huge relief for our culture. I am so glad that people finally listened to the truth about our sacred history instead of just letting it fade away into something …

Gay Pride/LGBT Ankh shirts have recently surfaced on the internet. This oxymoron is blatant disrespect and degradation of Afrikan spirituality. Furthermore, this false representation is an attempt to sabotage and misrepresent an Afrikan symbol.
The Egyptian Ankh is a sacred symbol that represents eternal life in the traditional Afrikan culture of ancient Kemet(known today as Egypt). Historically, Kings and Queens would wear the Ankh as a representation of their spirituality.
LGBT represents just the opposite of the Ankh. What this organization represents is of no relation to the sanctity of Ancient Kemet and the Ankh.
Homosexuality can not produce life, it can only destroy life. LGBT, its members and supporters believe in just the opposite of eternal life, which is what the Ankh represents. As proud Afrikans we refuse to let our culture be stolen and used for destructive purposes.
Freedom of speech has its limits when it falsifies history. This is an attempt to misrepresent and redefine an Afrikan symbol. If this is not stopped, future generations will believe the Ankh is a symbol of homosexuality. History tells us that this also happened with the rainbow. What was originally a symbol of hope and prosperity is now synonymous with the LGBT movement. This would not be tolerated if this had been done with the traditional cross; neither will it be done with the Ankh.
We will not allow the Ankh nor Afrikan culture, to be infiltrated, stolen or misused.

I have been scrolling through the comments and honestly it just strengthens my resolve because people keep reaching out with their own stories about how sacred this symbol really is. It is wild that the silence from the other side continues but that is just how these things go when they do not want to admit they are wrong. I am still here working on this and digging into the history because we cannot let them rewrite our heritage like it is nothing.

One's culture should not be used as a representation for another's platform. We as so called Africans will no longer tolerate the falsifying of our indigenous culture.
This would not happen if this was the cross, a symbol of Christianity. The ankh is a symbol of African spirituality and should not be tolerated.
Symbols are sacred and mean something. Co-opting our metaphysical and cultural symbols to fit an agenda that is opposite of its meaning is the same as co-opting the Civil Rights Movement (argument) to justify sodomy (homosexual) and lesbian agendas). And is offensive and suspicious.
DISGUSTED!!! As a genetically proven Egyptian descendant, this is a direct insult to my heritage, I'M TRULY OFFENDED!
Sombody name a gay couple for me that has conceived and created a child with one another, then EYE will accept this brainwashing trash... Nothing against gays, but don't be tainting ancient symbology of creation and life bringing with just the opposite of representation.
im super GAY and love weiner and ferris wheels
Facts stop this foolishness it’s totally disrespectful

Shame on these oxymorons for disrespecting our sacred Egyptian symbol of eternity. To add insult stealing our symbol and miseducating our children. Create your own symbol and leave ours alone peace.
