The first pride was a RIOT. Never forget our roots, nor the progress that is yet to be made.

Marriage was the easy win. https://twp.ai/4hrXA7 The harder fights — the ones that ask people to rearrange something — never got the same wind. We were handed the cheap thing and told it was the whole house. #LGBTQ #QueerRights #Pride #TransRights #EqualRights #Community #Solidarity

A man waved a Pride flag upside-down on Broadway in Nashville — the international signal of distress, flown in daylight, on purpose.

Gallup has asked the world one question since 2006: is your area a good place for gay and lesbian people? In countries that legalized marriage, the share leapt from 39% to 73% by 2015 — then the climb simply stopped.

Marriage was the easy win. The harder fights never got the same wind. We were handed the cheap thing and told it was the whole house.

"Everything lives forever on the Internet" - unless you're queer or trans, then it's apparently quite easy to memoryhole you.

Facebook, now Twitter. I am expecting YouTube at some point...fading away like that photo in Back To The Future.

This is how we get erased.

A vote board in The Hague lit up green: 75 to 57.

The Netherlands just made conversion therapy a crime — up to two years for anyone who runs the prayer circles and fake clinics on a child. COC Netherlands fought fifteen years alongside the survivors to land it. Fifteen years of testimony to get one board to turn green.

A kid there will grow up never knowing the room they were spared. That not-knowing is the whole point.

A senate chamber in The Hague.

The Netherlands just made conversion therapy a crime — up to two years, fines near €27,500, lost licenses for the therapists. COC Netherlands fought close to fifteen years alongside survivors to land it. The American right wants you to believe the world is turning back toward them.

Rainbow flags lifted over a city under fire. At a cultural event in Kyiv, a veteran asked the president whether it was time to normalize queer life — and Zelensky, instead of flinching, agreed.
Same-sex partnerships still aren't recognized in Ukrainian law; a draft bill is stuck in parliament. But here's the contrast that should burn: a man whose nation is being shelled can say we are the same, with the same rights, prejudice belonging to the 15th century. Over 70% of Ukrainians now back equal rights, per a 2024 Kyiv institute poll.
Dignity, it turns out, is not a luxury you earn after the war. It is part of what you are fighting for.
