A small rant
I hate how right-wingers try to excuse spreading hateful or ignorant ideas as "just a joke" or "I'm just asking questions". Like they somehow think that jokes or questions cannot be rhetorical.
It's like some people think that ideas just don't affect the real world in any tangible form. Like they are just having a purely theoretical conversation that effects nobody at all.
People on the right need to realize that rhetoric is very capable of inspiring violence. Saying shit like "trans people are groomers" is the kind of shit that gets trans people killed.
And public figures who advocate hateful rhetoric will always try to distance themselves from the consequences of their words, saying shit like "I never said I condone violence", even when violence is the natural logical conclusion of their words. Yall cannot act like implying that Jews run the world is not a call to action to commit violence against them, that is pure bullshit.
so, today we, russian queers, may become "extremists" by decision of russian supreme court and thus our existence will be silenced and erased. any queer activism will be impossible for us. I don't know what to do anymore. I was heartbroken when they passed the laws about "gay propaganda" and transgender people, now I'm just numb. I don't want to escape. I just want to live safely in my own country.
please hear us.

losing hope is what they want us to do. it's scary and i know it seems hopeless but the thing is what is happening in america has happened in other countries and they rebuilt. take each other hand in hand. stay safe my poc afab and lgbt friends
Georgia banned LGBT rights.
Georgian lawmakers approved the third and final reading of a law on "family values and the protection of minors” and Leaders of the governing Georgian Dream party say it is needed to safeguard “traditional moral standards”
What does the bill do?
The bill that passed bans same-sex marriages, adoptions by same-sex couples, and gender affirming care. It also outlaws pride events, lgbt books, movies, and pride flags.
They took away LGBT rights!
Be proud ❤️🏳️🌈✨
Note To Society #6
Your political opinions do define who you are.
Republicans aim to take away the rights of women (regarding rape, abortion, etc), LGBT+ people (regarding conversion therapy, banning transgender people from the military, banning gay couples from adopting, etc), and everyone who doesn’t share their views.
Democrats do the opposite, supporting abortion and LGBT+ movements.
Which side do you want to be on?
I'm may not be born in America, but my mom comes from there and I have family there as well. I want this place to be a safe place and welcome to everyone! I myself and genderfluid and bi!
Happy pride month! Be safe, be loud, don’t take shit from anyone. It’s a good day to be gay.
Thank you @politijohn @politijohn-replies for sharing!!

I’m dead fucking serious. Our lives literally depend on it. We have no time to wonder if we should fight back or not. Because we absolutely should!
It’s getting worse to be trans in America, so I made this.
So I wanted to join in on the pride event using my lovely duo here. (It’s hard to make an outfit non binary and not look like a clown) but yeah
Day 1: Discovery
Quinn discovered they were bi the night of their junior prom when they were helping Selma get ready (this was also when they started developing their crush on the girl). They discovered they were non binary while in college when they found out what it was, but always felt uncomfortable their whole life being their old gender.
Selma discovered she was pan in high school after a couple years of experimenting dating while at a pride parade with Quinn.
As for myself, I based Quinn’s orientation more on myself (bi/non binary) just not the discovery of it though. I used to go to a very religious private school so I didn't really discover myself till like a year after I left there. I feel I would’ve found myself sooner if I had never reallly gone there but then again they were all convinced i was gay for years after I got a buzz cut at eleven and by my tomboyish nature.
I discovered I was bi a few months after I left after talking about my fictional crushes to my mom’s lesbian coworker (who used to be my friend but we had a rough fall out) She eventually asked me if I was bi after I mentioned my crushes on many of the gems from Steven universe and eventually had to explain what it was to me. I didn’t really come out until a year later till I was more certain it was true.
I only really discovered I was non binary a year ago when I found out what it was. I actually spent basically almost my whole life hating being shoved into the category of being female and always found it more comfortable when people didn’t know or thought I was a boy. I know I started off thinking I was genderfluid for a few months until I found being called a they was more comfortable and it’s nice since even though most people around me are still learning to call me “they” and luckily they all support me and my choices (except my stepdad but when aren’t stepdads jerks tho). But that’s really it. :P
