Stamps are like high heel shoes ― there are just too many for one girl to collect them all, so stiletto and stamp collectors specialize. On the stiletto front, I only collect high heels to die for and on the stamp front, I collect stamps from the United Nations (among other countries and specialties).
Perusing the latest stamp collecting news weekly, I was surprised to see that the UN Postal Administration has just issued a series of stamps in conjunction with their Free & Equal campaign for LGBT equality. (Cool!) And one of the stamps in the series honors transgender people. (Very cool!)
That's her on the right.

I love the stamp but wonder how many ambassadors in the UN are pleased with the stamp and the stamp series? I am sure they love the revenue it brings in but the subject for so many countries is unacceptable.
ReplyDeleteYou may be right.
DeleteI love the stamps too but wonder about the topic.
ReplyDeleteQuite a contrast from the German stamps of the 1930's depicting swastikas and images of Hitler.
