BREAKING. Florida just introduced a bill that would BAN ALL PRIDE FLAGS, whether they represent a sexual orientation or a gender identity 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈, from being displayed in any capacity at a looong list of important places.
Since it’s about “pRoTeCtInG the ChILDReN!” it must just be elementary schools, right…?
WRONG.
If this bill passes, Pride flags will be banned at:
every public university in Florida
every public college
every public High School
every public elementary and middle school
And, this is disturbing…every government office & facility.
So elected Democrats wouldn’t even be allowed to put a pride flag in their office during pride month.
THE BILL WILL 𝗔𝗟𝗟𝗢𝗪 ALL *RELIGIOUS FLAGS* ✝️🤠😒
Florida Republicans continue to model their anti-LGBTQ laws on Russia 🇷🇺
Equality for all
How can you stop them? Tell all your friends in FL to vote in *local elections.* They are just as important as the presidential election. I mean it 🗳️💝

They put our Chosen Names on our Graves
They call it Progress
They expect the Survivors to be Grateful
They call it Progress
They sell our Symbols on T-Shirts
They call it Progress
They hide us in the Background
They call it Progress
They tell us we are Free
Free to What?
Free to Watch Their Films
Free to Buy Our Symbols from Them
Free to Put our Chosen Names on our Graves
Free to Die
They call it Progress
They Call It Progress

I wrote this post Club Q, and was not quite sure what to do with it.
I know now, I hope it helps bring attention to Trans Genocide. Look at these laws, some i have in more detail than others, proposed and passed that seek to criminalize our existence.
West Virginia: SB 252 (Sent to Judiciary January 17, 2023) Would define being Trans as an obscenity to minors.
Oklahoma: SB 129 (Prefiled to be Introduced February 6th, 2023) Would ban Trans Affirming Healthcare to everyone under 26 and forcibly detransition anyone under that age who has transitioned. This would currently encompass all of Gen Z.
States like Arizona, Montana, Tennessee and Nebraska have proposed bills that would ban drag from minors, but could be enforced in the same way as WV SB 252 in theory.
In 2022
Florida banned Medicaid coverage for Trans Affirming Healthcare.
Bathroom Bans were instituted in states across the country.
Laws banning any Trans Affirming Healthcare for teens have been enacted in several states.
"Don't Say Gay" Bills, again spread across the country in various states.
In Texas the Family and Protective Services were ordered to begin investigating all trans children in Texas and prosecuting their parents as child abusers and all teachers, doctors, and caregivers ordered to begin reporting any trans students they see.
And I ask you
What kind of progress is this?
Stop Trans Genocide

This is a link to Florida House Bill 1557.
I have read it. The PDF is 7 pages. The text of the bill is 4 pages. You can read it in five minutes.
I am too goddamn tired of people being pissy that the bill says this and the bill says that and no the fuck it doesn't.

HEY. DISNEY
TERFS THIS POST ISNT FOR YOU FUCK OFF AND DIE <3
WHAT IS THIS.
Tumblr media
watching The Owl House on Disney plus and Raine is repeatedly referred to with he/him in the subtitles.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
RAINE WHISPERS. A nonbinary character, with a trans-nonbinary VA (Avi Roque), who uses they/them pronouns and is referred to with such by other characters in the show, has their pronouns changed to he/him in the subtitles.
If my younger brothers can use the correct pronouns without batting an eye, why cant you Disney?
What happened to "There's room for everyone under the rainbow"? Oh yeah. That's right. Theres only room if its profitable. It would be such a shame if someone pirated the show :(

They can ban homosexuality in Florida as long as they be fair and also ban heterosexuality.
I also think if trans people are banned, cisgender people should be banned too?
Actually, just sink it. We don't need Florida. Ban Florida from the us please.

It's the end of another Pride!!
It was a long ride but a lot of us got through it. Congratulations to everyone who managed to avoid buying pride merch from corporations who obviously never cared about us! I'm proud of you.
But in case, here's a reminder: DON'T BUY PRIDE MERCH FROM MAJOR CORPORATIONS. Do independent sellers, instead! Support your local queer creator/artist. Go to their Redbubble, or Patreon, or individual websites.
After Disney supported to Don't Say Gay bill, they DEFINITELY do not need our money. And I hate that they took a described asexual icon to represent this kind of behavior. So, I'm taking back Mickey Mouse from their grubby queerphobic hands and instead of beating him up, I'm gonna use the Mouse to spread anti-Disney rhetoric, because he does not deserve the hate-- Disney does.

So, I've seen this comic all over my feed
Tumblr media
People are saying stuff like "Yay! Look at Damian support the community" and "Damian says support gay rights!".
That is not what this panel shows.
This panel is Damian showing off his weapons that he intends to use to break up pride (which he assumes is a riot like Stonewall) and Kon saying "Pride isn't a protest, it's a party!"
Is this fiction? Yes but the views expressed by our heros reflects the views of the author and society at large.
The views shown in this are: Disruptive demonstration and protest is bad. The LGBTQ+ community doesn't need to fight for rights.
In an era where trans rights are being trampled on and gay marriage is still being threatened, this complacency is dangerous.
In the last few years, there has been legislation that makes parent with trans kids child abusers (Texas) and legislation where even speaking about being gay/helping gay youth isn't allowed(Don't Say Gay Bill). With the overturning of Roe v Wade, other rights, like the right to gay marriage are threatens (as both a protected under Privacy Laws and one being overturned can hurt them all). This isn't even to mention social repercussions and stigma around being part of the community. Trans people (especially black trans people) are still being killed at high rates. Gay people are still hate-crimed and protested against. Hell, I live in the Midwest and I'm still closeted to my family and community because of bigotry.
Being part of the community is still dangerous. Pride may be a celebration of our queerness but it also remains a protest, a way for us to say "We're here and we're queer and your bigotry ain't getting rid of us!"
The opinions of our heroes shows us the attitude of our society and, while our society seems to think our fight should be over, we know that we still have a long way to go.

* Update Aug. 2023: Damn, existential conflict has hands. Jesus Christ. Search the “right wing degeneracy” tag on this here blog to see more of this shit, if you can stomach it for the sake of education and fuelling your rage. It’s called what it is because right wingers have degenerated so far from the human condition and it’s most basic tenets of empathy and compassion that they barely qualify as human. And that is an objective fact.
- - - - -
There’s so much shit going on, it can be impossible to focus on and be angry about it all. Hopefully this personal archive/list of previous pinned stuff can help feed fuel to the fire. If you can, take action.
“Actionable” and “Complainable” are within the context of the sphere of influence of an average North American. Awareness is merely step one.
Actionable:
Petition e-4286 - Canadian proposal to give asylum to transgender people threatened by violence in their country of residence. Canada, for all it’s own cruelties, has previously been a comparatively safe-haven for marginalized people, and can be once again. So called “western democracies” fall to the degeneracy of fascism and right-wing politics, and there are vulnerable people to evacuate. The petition is accepting signatures until May 26, 2023, at 9:33 a.m. (EDT). The form won’t accept my email for some ungodly reason, so the best I can do is share and promote it before the deadline.
https://petitions.ourcommons.ca/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-4268
Oklahoma Antitrans Bills - Oklahoma is putting forward a bill that would force anyone under age 26 to “medically detransition” as well as banning and felonizing the act of providing gender affirming medical care, along with a back-up bill calling for the same, but targettign anyone under the age of 21 . This is not for any observable purpose beyond causing pain and suffering. The people responsible for this bill and others like it have names and home addresses.
https://legiscan.com/OK/bill/SB129/2023 | https://legiscan.com/OK/bill/HB1011/2023
Other US States are also trying this bullshit, Texas is just going full hog on banning care for anyone.
https://legiscan.com/TX/bill/HB1029/2023 
https://19thnews.org/2023/01/trans-health-care-bills-2023-legislative-session-lgbtq/
PLUS the distilled shit in Florida - https://www.tumblr.com/socialistexan/710890023939096576/i-feel-like-us-conservatives-went-from-a-34-to-7?source=share
AND Texas’s proposed Bill to classify anyone with a Y chromosome as “male”, which takes biological existentialism past even it’s own already-insane limits. https://www.tumblr.com/spacelazarwolf/709351697217175552/reminder-that-the-sex-on-your-birth-certificate?source=share
AND Florida is just trying to straight up let the state kidnap your children. I don’t know what they’ll do with them, but considering that a LOT of Floridan politicians were good friends with Epstein...
https://www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2023/254
Stop Cop City - Pigs and a bunch of corporate allies are trying to build a city-sized training facility for cops with the explicit intention of teaching them how to wage urban warfare against protesters and, I predict, “undesirables”, destroying an entire forest to do so, like some kind of cartoon villain. They’ve already killed someone, a forest defender named Tortuguita, claiming he shot one of the officers despite evidence contradicting that narrative, showing that it was friendly fire, and the buddyfuckers have refused to publish secondary body cam footage of what happened (not that it’s ever led to consequences for them before), let alone punish themselves. While the best and most effective action is to paint the streets with their blood until they acquiesce and turn tail, one not far behind that more people would be comfortable with is too scare their corporate cocksuckers enough that they pull out of the project, inflicting financial damage. Cowardly maybe, but I’d like activists be alive rather than not, though we all might not have any choice soon.

And if you can, and if they try to bulldoze it, make some noise.
Don’t Say Gay Bill and Successor Attempts - You know it, you hate it, it’s the right wing trying to erase even the VERBIAGE of non-cishet people existing, this time in Indiana!

If you can’t sign the petition, look for one more local! Or throw a brick into the back of the head of a rightoid. Every little bit helps.
Arizona Hotline Counterattack - Arizona has recently set up a hotline and email where “concerned parents” can report “critical race theory” and “gender expression” in the classroom. Makes them suffer! It’s free and easy to do!
Libraries at risk! Digital archivism is in danger. The Internet Archive is being sued by digital publishers to set a standard for digital rights and the avilability of knowledge. Digital publishers are baby-rage levels of mad at local, physical libraries for digitizing their already-paid-for collections and bypassing rental fees from said digital publishers, but know that suing a public library would be a PR nightmare, so they have instead joined together to sue an “acceptable” target - the Internet Archive in this case - intending to use the case to establish laws that affect all libraries and public institutions of the archival sort. The courts have decided, but the internet Archive has submitted an appeal to a higher court, and with support and enough noise, can have that ruling overturned in favour of the public. Give the petition a sign!
Jackson Mississippi is being held hostage. The city MUST be liberated, water restored, and the state’s control of them usurped.
Iowa and Mississippi Propose Bills to Ban Gay Marriage. It’s painful to remember that some leftists really thought the conservatives would only stop at “one kind” of “degenerate”, and that they were somehow safe from further persecution, as if the Maginot Line could ever fail once it was built, as if battle lines could only ever move forward or stay still.
Iowa and Mississippi (<- links to the individual bills and their authors) have both had republican politicians cosign and propose bills that would take human rights in their states back by years, citing “nature’s god” and other tin-foil-wearing hokery as their justification. Protest them, bombard them, threaten them, beat them, end them, whatever needs to be done to keep these rightoid, regressive degenerates from doing more harm.
Mi’kmaq Land Claim - The Mi’kmaq people of the east coast have put forth a land claim to a large chunk of New Brunswick, not to assert dominion or supplant current residents or governments (no change like that can even happen these days) but to secure the sanctity and security of both their unceded land (which currently sits in the hands of the government as crown land) and the ways in which that land is to be used. Show them some support!
Texas Is No Longer Trying to Hide the Swastikas - https://legiscan.com/TX/bill/HB20/2023 . Texas republicans are aligning to make it legal for “citizen militias” to police the border for “immigrants”, with the secret inclusion of also allowing them to police POLLING STATIONS. They aren’t even being subtle about it, they are just having armed brownshirt degenerates waving guns in peoples faces to keep them from voting. Americans, if you can, either bomb these senator’s phones, or bomb their houses. They have names and addresses.
Do Not Let The Evangelicals Win. Do Not Give Them An Inch
29/04/23 The fucking Earn It Act is back, and once again we need to beat this hydra’s head with a burning club.
Complainable:
Iran Protests - Human rights and freedom of expression are at risk in Iran, and people are sick of it! The people rise up and protest, first back in September, and intermittently since, most recently from writing, this February 19th weekend. As heroes clash with fascist and theocrats, the “government” still holds tens of thousands captive, suffering rape and torture, and at threat of execution. There are 227 politicians to “hold accountable” for this abuse.

The war on humanity is one of attrition, a war upon the soul, seeking to break spirit and inspire hopelessly, waged against us by ghoulish old men and sycophantic hypocrites. Only through action can we break their stranglehold and put an end to their abuse. Showing these fiends mercy is tolerating intolerance itself.
Rip Tortuguita.
RIP Brianna Ghey
RIP Ajike Owens
Health to Ralph Yarl.
RIP Nahel

This is an incredibly unusual move. The Air Force letting its hundreds of thousands of personnel know that it will provide families with medical + legal help if they are being hurt by new state laws attacking gay and transgender children.
If service members feel they need to leave those states entirely, for the sake of their kids’ mental or physical health, the Air Force will help them to do that.
“Air Force leadership is telling service members that military medical facilities are available to provide mental health support to them or their children if they need it in the wake of new laws in states like Florida, where schools are banned from talking about gender identity or sexual orientation, or Texas, where the governor is ordering state officials to investigate parents of transgender children for child abuse.”
“They’re also telling service members that military legal personnel are available to provide free counsel to families trying to understand their legal protections in states targeting gay and transgender kids.”
The Air Force sees these laws as hurting families, and if the service members aren’t able to care for the needs of their families then they have a hard time focusing on doing the work the Air Force needs done.

If you're wondering about the state of education in Florida
At yesterday's back to school teacher training my sister had to listen to the local police department go on and on about how Uvalde was the teachers' fault because they didn't keep their classrooms locked.
Then she had to sit through a training on the Florida don't say gay bill
They told all the teachers that every book they use in class has to be presented to a "media specialist" to determine if it's appropriate for use
So yea that's where we're at right now at least in my county.

Just your daily reminder that David Mamet is a anti-gay, transphobic piece of shit. For example, [anti-gay trigger warning:] he said: “What we have is kids not only being indoctrinated but groomed, in a very real sense, by people who are, whether they know it or not, sexual predators,” Mamet claimed. “Are they abusing the kids physically? No, I don’t think so. But they are abusing them mentally and using sex to do so.”He added, “This has always been the problem with education. Teachers are inclined, particularly men because men are predators, to pedophilia.”

Florida's Parental Rights in Education Act, dubbed the "Don't Say Gay" bill by critics, went into effect on July 1. 
Teachers in one Florida school district were advised against talking about their same-sex partners, the Washington Post reported.

All the shit people say about Florida HB 1557 that's complete bullshit:
Children can't talk about their gay family
Teachers can't teach about LGBT historical figures or equal rights
Children will never learn that a family isn't always a mom and dad with kids
Children 5-9 years old are taught heterosexuality in their lessons so they should be taught heterosexuality as well
Children will be spied on by teachers to find out if they're gay
Teachers have to tell parents if their child tells them they are gay (this WAS a proposed amendment to the bill but it was withdrawn and did not pass)
