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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
