literally. queer people have always been and will always be here. queer people will continue to be born, and people will continue to realise as they get older, that they’re queer. queer people will always be everywhere.
it's horrible that she thought there was nothing wrong with putting that on the tl. an obviously private conversation with someone who was confiding in you and you come and post it on twitter. After being called out for overstepping, you overstep some more.
the freedom skatepark people worked so hard. so many cool things happened over there: spotify masterclasses, ‘vibrate space’ allowed musicians to record for free, kids learnt to skate, people learned to DJ…
they did so much for the love of community and now look at this shit
Someone calls you a rapist and backs it up with screenshots and all you can do is shout ‘lesbianism’ and throw insults.
anyway, i’m sure you’re happy your boys quoted your tweet with fire emojis. they’re so impressed by you.
when you finish making fun of him for being treated badly, come and tweet “what about men?” when women tweet about violence and abuse. you and all the people being insensitive under this tweet are full of shit
hard as it is for some of you to believe, people are aware of what they look like. pimples, stretch marks, darker skin, extra weight, birthmarks. they know. and if they haven't asked you, be quiet 💕
Today, we're going to brainstorm on ways to be disobedient. What are some ways you can protest in your individual spaces as citizens? I'll start. I refuse to bribe the police or give way to singular cars with police escorts.

often what happens, especially on the tl is people poke holes into survivors’ stories, make fun of them, attack them and call them attention seekers/reputation destroyers and then other survivors who came online to escape their problems are triggered as well.
Just want to say that we should be mindful about asking victims/survivors to name their abusers especially when we know we can’t offer any justice or restitution given the fact that sexual abuse is structural

every time i think i’m done talking, i realise there’s something else to say.
renting apartments is almost impossible with these ridiculous prices. now if you and your friend(s) decide to live together, the landowner can kick you out because it’s giving LGBTQ…
this country where an old woman was beaten to death with how many people standing by and watching? this place where we saw someone minding her business with her red hair and she was targeted by the police? this place where people went on a peaceful protest and were shot at???
it’s so hard to figure out which women did the singing on most of these old ghanaian songs because they’re not mentioned at all. the man’s name is plastered everywhere but the chorus has a woman on it and you have to guess who that is.
Here & Beyond x LGBTRightsGhana's first ever TwitterProtest will be held on the 31st of March at 6PM.
Vent, rant, complain.

"christianity is about your personal relationship with god" yet everyday your nose is in someone's business. everyday you're tweeting about non-religious people. everyday you're preaching some harmful shit to/about people who haven't asked for your opinion.
and then it turns into a competition. Emefa is in the comments section saying "is that all? my mother used to slap me three times a day and wipe the floor with my face but you don't see me complaining. lol kids these days."
Nobody:
Random twitter person: i broke glass plate and my mummy cut my leg with the shards and put pepper inside and didn't give me food for 3 days and i turned out okay. So I'll beat my child.
i didn’t even think about it but obaa is right; radical queer ghanaian feminists are so few. i’ll miss seeing shakia’s tweets on the tl. she was so thoughtful and articulate.
even for allosexual people, this isn’t entirely true. sexual attraction and romantic attraction do not, as a general rule, go hand in hand. there are no rules. there is no ‘normal’. love looks like different things to different people.
While I was in 200 level and using dead bodies to learn human anatomy, we would search for bullets in those bodies and many times, we would find one
As naive as we were, we assumed they were criminals
I cried now considering that a number of them were innocent
No more!!!!
Do not ask people how they’re doing if you’re not ready to listen. Fuck formalities, okay? Ask only if you care. And when you ask, be ready for any type of answer at all. Be ready for tears, a four minute voice note or three paragraphs or a one word reply. Be ready or don’t ask.
people dying everyday from road accidents because no traffic lights, people abandoned by their families and exposed to even more violence, because of mental illness. children dying in hospitals, dying on the street, sleeping under trees. what is this hell of a country?
wofa slayzie is tweeting homophobic shit, enjoying the attention and comparing queerness to pedophilia all in the name of being open minded? now we for act like we shock and things.
