Vala van den Boomen wrote that her son resisted what he saw as inclusivity being imposed in an exclusive manner. She mentioned that students who, a year earlier, did not want to walk under purple balloons on a purple carpet clashed with the student coordinator. According to her, people who did not actively participate in the "rainbow circus" were therefore labeled as intolerant. Van den Boomen wrote that her son knows what it is like to belong to a minority and to be different, but that acceptance, according to him, does not arise from having children walk on a purple carpet or keeping 150 parliamentarians in the Chamber late into the night for a vote on an activist flag. She argued that acceptance calls for treating it as normal. https://t.co/eGvv04SCVf #acceptatie #inclusiviteit #vrijheid (translated)
