LGBTQ+ rights are under attack across the world.

This a Community dedicated to the discussion of how to protect, advocate for, and restore LGBTQ rights!

With the rampant increase of Anti LGBTQ+ hate crimes, speech and laws internationally, the LGBTQ community globally no longer feels safe.

We refuse to stand by while injustice against our community reigns.

Here we will organize, and discuss ways to make our voices heard!

Community Rules:

  1. No Hate Speech

No Hate Speech allowed whatsoever. This is a O tolerance policy. This goes for any form of hate and/or bigotry regarding race, religion, or LGBTQ+ identities.

While we will have discussions on political issues dealing with hate and bigotry AGAINST the LGBTQ+ community, please keep your comments respectful of ail parties.

Be better than how your enemies treat you.


  1. Respect the trans community

Respect the people who belong here. If you're confused what that means, here's a minor primer:

No asking to date trans people or otherwise meet up with them. No treating being transgender as a mental illness or as being lesser in any way. No arguing with trans people about their identity. No arguing with trans people about their vulnerabilities, including anything related to sports, laws, etc. This includes anything else that the mod team deems disrespectful.


  1. Stay on topic!

Posts should be related to the defense, advocacy, and restoration of LGBTQ+ rights.

This Community is for news regarding, as well as the discussion of, anti LGBTQ+ laws, hate crimes, and propaganda.


  1. Bunnies are above the law

This isn't a rule but it shows you're paying attention to the rules. good for you!

Wait... I thought he was a jihadist? Or does this mean that jihadists now like the gays? I'm so confused.

[–] VerilyFemme@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

Okay, you're clearly not getting it. Muslims are bad and gays are bad, so obviously they support each other. /s

if someone can get christians panties in a wad, when mentioning Mosques or arabic letters/numbers, its muslims.

it's like how Iraq was obviously aiding and abetting al qaeda, even though to believe that you have to ignore absolutely everything about both

Hopefully people of all stripes will be uplifted.

I do think he said he wants it to be a better city for everyone who lives in it.

My white cishet male ass* gets that making NYC better for everyone means it'd be better for me too, even if the most vulnerable among us get paid some extra attention when it comes to improving the things that make their lives harder. Some people seem to think that it's a zero-sum game and improving other peoples' lives must come at the cost of their own. It's just blatantly untrue.

* My white cishet male ass also doesn't live in NYC, but I mean in general. I want the world around me to be better for everyone, not just me specifically.

which means all the right wingers will come out of the woodwork to complain about how this somehow means it will be a city for only lgbtq+ and the rest of them will have to fight some made up enemy to keep their homes or other similar dumb shit. I'll almost certainly hear about it from the maple maga at work.

That's what allies are for

[–] CannonFodder@lemmy.world 15 points 22 hours ago (3 children)

Maybe he should say 'a LGBTQCS+ sanctuary' to include cis and straight folk. It might make the point that everyone should feel safe and it's not a zero-sum game.

[–] ImADifferentBird@piefed.blahaj.zone 13 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

These are the same people who complain about those "Coexist" stickers with all the religious symbols, and the inclusion of a cross on those has done nothing to dissuade them. They don't care; they honestly believe it is their right to oppress others, and anyone stopping them from doing so (or even suggesting they shouldn't) is oppressing them.

"When you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression."

They won't give a shit. They're bigoted sociopathic fucksticks. The types to react like that are a lost cause.

Nothing will turn them from their bullshit unless it directly affects them, like their favorite child being LGBTQ, and even then many of them choose to disown them instead of being empathetic with their own child.

Some people are just shitty human beings and should be shunned from civilized society until they're willing to deal with being a piece of shit.

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 8 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Most of them get mad when someone says cis, because "normal people don't need labels" or whatever the fuck my drunk uncle will say this year while the kids open christmas presents

It's okay for me to use the word. My wife is a cis.
