Clothing company Patagonia is currently sueing drag queen Pattie Gonia for "irreparable” harm to their brand.

To be clear; Pattie named herself after the region in South America.

So Pattie is asking people to politely ask Patagonia to drop the lawsuit.

I'm extending the invitation to all of you, because sueing a drag queen for 'infringement' in the current political cultural landscape is vile. Especially a drag queen who has raised millions of dollars for non-profits, uses her platform to raise awareness for climate activism, and fully aligns with Patagonia's apparent climate-conscious mission statement.

They're claiming they're sueing for $1. They're actually asking her to stop using her name, and pay over $1 million in legal fees. They're straight up harassing her.

In contrast, drag queen Jan Sport has a Jansport bag line. It's that easy to just... work with a queen.

Anyway. Be respectful(ish), but feel free to be annoying on Patagnoia's socials, asking them to 'DROP THE LAWSUIT'

Second, an outdoor exploring brand not teaming with an environmental activist with a massive global platform is blatantly homophobic/transphobic (conservative people discriminate equally).

As near as I am able to tell, the specific thing that Patagonia is complaining about is that if Pattie Gonia were to sell her merchandise and trademark her name, it would dilute their brand. What is their brand though? It is a mountain range that existed before they founded their company.

A multi billion dollar company is claiming ownership of the name of a mountain range, and leveraging their capital to attempt to squash someone who is also referencing the region of the world.

Also the entire lawsuit is being flooded by idiots on tumblr that don't know anything. No they are not suing her for one dollar and asking her politely not to sell merch. They are asserting that they own this name and these mountains and that no one else is allowed to step on their intellectual property.

As an additional note, Patagonia is not a nice company that is helping the planet. They are flush with military contracts and are one of the many companies profiting off of the exploitation of the global south, all while claiming to own their mountains.

i was working at a little cafe where I could deny service over bad behavior, harassment etc. & mask mandates had just ended a week before & already people were being weird about me still wearing mine—an N95, the kind shaped kinda like a duckbill.

so this man walked in, looked at me sooo scathingly, laughed at me, and said “damn. never known a woman to choose…practicality over looks.”

And I just said, “oh. you can go, you’re not getting a drink.” And he said, “what???”

I said, “sir, you just walked in at 6 am & called women impractical and me ugly in one sentence.”
