Recordando amablemente a mis queridas personas LGBTQIA+ que usted no tiene que "debatir" ni "discutir" su existencia y humanidad con nadie que haya decidido crearse su propio problema al respecto.

You know what really gets me of straight people in queer spaces? It's the straight couples who get touchy and handsy with their PDA bc they know it's a space for openness and love, but you know they would never defend a gay couple at a regular bar/club that does the same thing.
@Esqueer_
Such a powerful speech, and yet so sad and infuriating how the right wing picked on this small minority of kids and their families as their punching bag.
@maisonmeIissa
As Told by Ginger wardrobe department also kept it fresh and many episodes were about that teenage anxiety of not having the coolest outfit in class.
@msolurin
What's so crazy about this discussion is that the JP tweet that sparked it was never a good faith "this person use to go by this name before" statement. It was a very malicious tweet saying Elliot's physician is a criminal for providing standard gender-affirmation treatment.
@hello__caitlin
Wtf is the op's point anyway? That we have to be demographically promotional throughout time and space in order to live in peace like every other human being? There's nothing wrong with being LGBTQ+, there's no need for us to prove or justify our humanity to anyone.

Honestly! The lost potential for solar in so many places drives me nuts. Specially in the ugly parking garages, giant malls or large parking lots.
@AJRtheII
I will definitely bookmark this for future reference lol
I don't care they had their cute moment with the students and family, I want everyone to have these moments of community; but it's also messed up that gay couples are rarely afforded this level of humanity and grace.
@KopanoMashishi
The book is called It's Perfectly Normal bc the process of arousal he read is... perfectly normal for a human body.
Might as well be reading "after the mastication process is done, the food has been mashed into a soft paste and the muscles of the tongue push it down..."

I know Dylan put herself out there as a public figure by sharing her experience, but it's kinda sad that we're now doing polls about her favorability when she's just another influencer out of thousands.
@KiraAfter_Dark
@GBBranstetter
It's 100% okay to realize at any point "this isn't for me" and share your story, but there's no reason to use your experience to make it harder for other people to access care. Her experience could even help improve the standards of care, but helping it's clearly not her goal.
@mattxiv
But I thought if they were good for the part they could play it, right? Because it's just acting, right? Or at least that's what we hear whenever a cishet wants to play a 'juicy' award-bait role that happens to be a LGBTQ character.
@Esqueer_
Blindsided? Trans people have been warning for years abt these dangerous fascists who openly admit they want to eradicate trans people and how every anti-LGBTQ law is a stepping stone into the next most horrible law, but now the press is acting like it happened out of nowhere.🙄

I really love the scene when she wakes up after being rescued and go off on Haymitch. She slayed.
Joy is another of the best performances too.
@Ryan_Ken_Acts
That "economic anxiety" was just so unbearable they had to fly from all over the country and stay in comfy DC hotels to let the country know they won't be "silenced."
@BreeNewsome
Exactly. These situations are making a good case for the abolishment of the Senate and cutting back on most of the privileges these public officials may enjoy.
"Condemning something is not the same as preventing it from reoccurring." 🗣🗣🗣🗣
"It makes no sense to spend money to police a community that you barely spent money on to make it grow and thrive." 🗣🗣🗣🗣
WHY IS ABOLITION NECESSARY? Because (1) mass incarceration is SLAVERY, (2) the criminal system is not there to address crime—it’s meant to reproduce it—because it’s a business, (3)we must address the root causes of crime like poverty + fund housing, education, healthcare etch
Quien pregunta retóricamente "¿cuales derechos no tienen los gays?" sabe muy bien cual es la respuesta, pero como se cree que tiene la postestad de decidir con quien se pueden casar los demás prefiere mejor hacer esas preguntas de mala fé.
@jinnjaewang
@AriDrennen
Exactly. Notice who they rarely use "transgender people."
They use language to dehumanize and make it look like someone's identity is a condition to be fixed.

@JoseHoracioR
porque al parecer "la familia" solamente es un eslogan y ellos tampoco quieren saber de sus hijos. 🤣
Ojalá algún día sí exista el aborto libre en RD, pues a nadie le importa las circunstancias por la cual una persona embarazada decide terminar un embarazo.
Nadie le debe una explicación ni justificación a metiches, mucho menos a quienes ni tienen la capacidad de embarazarse.
THIS is the ally energy we need in dark times like these when cruel people wish to vanish us from public life and threaten our safety based on lies, prejudice and fear mongering.
Reminds me of
@MalloryMcMorrow
's stellar speech at the Michigan Senate floor. Watch that below. ⬇️
@FemaleRapRoom
She spilled, but at the same time many people would shame men who have MFM threesomes. I hope there's a trend to the contrary though, men deserve to be sexually adventurous without being shamed by anyone else.
@the1975_thteam
"What responsibility do liberals have to be ideologically chivalrous to those who wish them death?" Say it louder for the people in the back!
There's nothing culturally valuable about homophobia or any sort of prejudice.

I'm old enough to remember when JP thought he'd be sent to jail if anti-discrimination laws passed in Canada lol
@Jamie_Foxworthy
@BrynnTannehill
Exactly. And when they explain what the "threat" is about it's always about holding on to power and structures that they know intentionally marginalize others, bc sharing the world with people who don't fit into their boxes makes them face their own insecurities.
@KingKiraXD
@mwr_dbm
@UChadayammuri
I really don't understand how a person could substain and justify an "anti-foreign sentiment" while working at a port of entry. You see foreign people every day from everywhere. They didn't force you to be there, you chose that job. 😆
@cassesque
The worst part is that when we try to prevent this type of inhumane conduct from an early age, the bigots push back with smear campaigns about "indoctrination" and "protecting children." Really telling they never fight to protect bullied kids, almost as if they enjoy the cruelty.
@AriDrennen
Better yet, why do they need laws and mandates to enforce them? Right, because the gender binary is the actual gender ideology being forced upon us from the very moment that pregnancy test is positive.
@ContraPoints
Also reminds me how "rainbow capitalism" meme underscores that LGBTQ people working in corporate deserve welcoming workplaces. You'd be right to argue corporations only care abt profits, but at least LGBTQ people working in this field face less discrimination than decades ago.
@tomtomorrow
I have mad respect for those who grew up in this danger, still live in those places as a matter of choice and maybe even have helped to make their hometowns a little better.
@jerryiannelli
Exactly. These viral clips are cute and might even help motivate some of the organizing that's needed, but you can never shame a right winger for their beliefs. They don't care they're hypocritical or unprincipled. They just want power to impose their evil agenda.
@AP
@maximillian_alv
“My mom and I wanted to fight this law not just to protect my health care, but also to ensure that transgender people like me can safely and fully live our truths.”
You shouldn't have to be dealing with this cruel persecution, but thank you for speaking out, Dylan. 👏💪
@Eurovision
This gossip was so disgusting.
Purely based on harmful stereotypes and prejudices towards rock musicians, queer people and tattooed individuals.
I hope Damiano and the rest of the band don't feel too bad about this cruel humiliation.
@lacarminjpg
Puede que ella esté nerviosa, pero es interesante como se rie cuando le hablan de preservativos, como si diera vergüenza. La Educación Sexual Integral demístifica el sexo, remueve el tabú y empodera a tomar decisiones conscientes y responsables con nuestro cuerpo y a defenderlo.
@ErinInTheMorn
Basically the same misogynistic trope of devaluing women because they don't conform to arbitrary standards of beauty, femininity and womanhood.
@lionel_trolling
Not the main enemy, but the "moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; [...] who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but [...] advises to wait until a "more convenient season." rarely cares abt tackling systemic issues that allow fascism to rise
@TheTNHoller
If they implement that policy, someone sent all the outed kids that might eventually get kicked out of their homes to Joseph's house. He sounds really empathetic.
@thrasherxy
@JoshuaPotash
@emilybazelon
They want the platform without the responsibility for the damage it may cause.
Keep "asking your questions", but don't act surprised when your work is scrutinized by others or when it's cited to make the lives transgender people and their families a living hell.

You know that if Biden had ever gotten those kind of words from Rogan, Biden's team would have been hailing that as an example of "Biden being popular with independents."

RIP Chris Flynn, who helped Madonna blossom into the fearless woman she's always been.
She wrote a gorgeous song for him and another late friend, Martin Burgoyne, in her 'Erotica' album:

"The working class deserves to earn enough to feed their families, to go out to eat once in a while, to think about a vacation. We not meant to just go to work and go home and die. We have lives to live." He gets it. Some of these companies act like you're doing them a favor.

@FDsignifier
Liberals can't even muster the political will to pressure Democrats to pass proposals they claim to support.
They would love to get universal healthcare and paid leave, but "the country is not ready." No, Shannon, you are not ready to hold Democrats accountable when they fail.
@EduardoFRub
La diputada promueve un discurso casi genocida.
Habla de seres humanos como si fueran "casos" que hay que resolver.
Esta bien claro que la alegría, libertad y paz de las personas LGBTQ+ les molesta y hacen lo que sea para demonizarnos, en especial cuando somos más inocentes.
@ContraPoints
Similar to the huge scrutiny placed on women/poc/lgbtq+ media characters to be "necessary to the story, well-written, authentic and not too preachy" so their representation can be worthy of existing.
@jessiegender
And what happens to kids who naturally express themselves outside of the cishet standard? They're bullied, traumatized, abused, expelled from their homes and/or driven to suicide.
And we know this bc we grew up (and many continue to grow up) in violent environments like that.
@kattenbarge
Yup. Any attempt to brand any topic as "only for the parents" is just a ruse to make sure the topic never gets brought up at all.
Moreover, even when proper Sex Ed is thought in schools, that does not stop parents from teaching whatever they want at home. 🤷♂️
@StrictlyChristo
Gerrymandering is definitely the most egregious sickness in electoral politics. Practically giving huge majorities to Republicans in some States that are generally fairly split or even have a Democratic governor (such as North Carolina, Kentucky and, most recently, Wisconsin)
