Please note the following:
* All chatrooms are linked together. If you join one room your messages will be copied to the other platforms.
* Matrix is an open source and potentially distributed chat protocol. The matrix room listed is hosted on matrix.org, a somewhat centralized hub for a lot of currently public rooms. Though the protocol itself is free, libre and open source, the deployment of the protocol resembles a centralized service. This may be fixed in the future with the deployment of independent servers.
* Be aware that both Telegram and Discord are centralized proprietary platforms and do not necessarily protect your rights nor privacy while simultaneously giving power to corporations.

The anti-SOGI people don’t want queer people to exist. More specifically, they don’t want their kids to be queer.
The pro-SOGI people want queer people to live and thrive. That’s it. I’d like to live my life without being hated for who I am. It’s not about “politics” — the anti people don’t want me to exist.
The reason it was “loud” today was because a bunch of homophobes and transphobes decided to have a hate parade across the country. If there was no march planned by the anti-SOGI people, it would have been a quiet Wednesday.
Not just today, I'm talking everywhere. Online or offline. It's just too in my face political everything. Worst part, you say anything seemingly negative and people assume you're a convoy idiot or whatever and want others gone. I'm far from it, just tired. Can't have honest discussions because people instantly label left Or right, or for/against. I'm the most neutral there is. Sad times. I'll keep just hiding from the world till it settles.
I don't personally know what sogi is.
Scroll past, then, or educate yourself. Saying that you’re not interested in the topic while also saying that you don’t know what it is… why are you even here? Why are you adding to the political discourse by saying that you don’t want people to engage in political discourse? Good grief.
