💛💜 Today is Intersex Awareness Day! 🌈

Not every body fits neatly into “male” or “female” boxes — and that’s perfectly natural.

Intersex variations like AIS, CAH, Klinefelter, Turner, or ovotesticular differences show just how diverse human biology truly is.

#Intersex #LGBTQ
A bold purple circle centered on a bright yellow background, representing the intersex flag. Below it, purple text reads “Intersex Awareness Day · Oct 26.” The minimalist design symbolizes visibility, pride, and bodily autonomy for intersex people.

🚨 New memo (NSPM-7) lets the gov’t treat activism as “domestic terrorism.”

It targets funders & nonprofits working on race, gender, immigration & LGBTQ+ rights.

🧾 Full analysis 👉
tinyurl.com/3aastyed

#NSPM7 #Democracy #CivilRights #FreeSpeech #Authoritarianism #Activism #LGBTQ #WomensRights
A stack of official-looking government documents stamped TERRORISTS, NSPM-7, and CLASSIFIED, each page labeled with issues such as civil rights, women’s rights, LGBTQ+ advocacy, environmental activism, and Democratic political networks. Over the fogged background appears the title “National Security Presidential Memorandum on Countering Domestic Terrorism and Organized Political Violence (NSPM-7)” and the subtitle “Countering Domestic Terrorism — or Silencing Democracy?” The image evokes government overreach and suppression of activism.

💜 Spirit Day 2025 💜

Anti-LGBTQ+ hate, bills, & rhetoric—especially from Trump & MAGA—are fueling bullying & violence against queer youth.

These kids deserve safety, love, & hope.

We wear purple to say: You’re not alone.

It's International Pronouns Day!

Pronouns aren’t politics. It's about identity.

MAGA calls it “woke,” but they use pronouns every day.

Don’t give in to bullies.

Love yourself. Own your pronouns.

#InternationalPronounsDay 🏳️‍🌈 #Pronouns #LGBT #LGBTQ
Distressed black poster with bold white stencil text reading “PRONOUNS AREN’T POLITICS — THEY’RE RESPECT.” Surrounding the text are small sticker-style icons: rainbow pride flags, a transgender flag, and a raised brown fist emoji. At the bottom, the tagline reads “#InternationalPronounsDay 🏳️‍🌈.” The design has a gritty, activist, protest-poster aesthetic.

🌅 INDIGENOUS PEOPLES’ DAY

Before borders. Before conquest. Before erasure.
There were storytellers, healers, warriors — and their roots still hold the earth together. ✊🏽

#IndigenousPeoplesDay #Decolonize #NativeVoices #TruthMatters #EndErasure #Indigenous #NativeAmerican
A solemn portrait of an Indigenous elder woman standing beside a young boy at sunrise. Both wear traditional garments in deep red and turquoise. Behind them, a softly blurred U.S. flag fades into the warm horizon. Text reads “INDIGENOUS PEOPLES’ DAY” at the top and “We were here before any borders & our roots will still be here when all is long gone.” at the bottom.

🧠 Is Left-Wing Violence Really Rising? New @csis.org report says yes. Data says no:

Only 5 incidents — no deaths — yet it’s labeled a “30-year high.”

This is how truth is twisted for #politics.

Today is Bi Visibility Day! 💜💙💗

This day is about celebrating bisexual people in all their brilliance — past, present, and future. 🌈

Here’s to love without limits, joy without boundaries, and visibility without apology. 💪🏽💖

@ABCNetwork & Disney execs admitted @jimmykimmel crossed no line — but feared retaliation. Fear is the point. Fear is the weapon. When corporations cave to #Trump, #democracy loses.

Screenshot says it all...

The Vice President of the United States, when accused of committing a war crime:

> “I don’t give a sh*t what you call it.”

This isn’t “tough.” It’s reckless. It’s #authoritarian rot.

New York is protecting #trans lives. Trump is erasing them.
🧠 NY: 8.2% of adults are #LGBTQ+. 1.4% are nonbinary/trans.
📊 Real data. Real care. Real leadership.
🚫 Trump: bans care, deletes data, denies identity. In #NewYork, we see it, we fight it!💪🏽

It’s not a party. It’s a movement.

Today is Stonewall Day — A riot that sparked a revolution. 🌈✊🏽🧱

No Stonewall. No Pride.

Never forget that Pride was born out of resistance. And the fight is far from over.

🕊️ It’s #WorldRefugeeDay.

Refugees are survivors—not threats. They flee war, persecution, & disaster in search of safety. Yet MAGA extremism & far-right propaganda vilify them—even those here legally.

The truth? #Refugees enrich us. They deserve dignity. They are our shared humanity. 🌍

I didn’t post on Juneteenth. I was emotionally drained. And in that silence, I reflected:
If I—queer & non-Black—feel this weight,
how heavy must it be for our Black siblings?

Belated, but intentional. Always.

I was there—loud & proud.
#WorldPrideDC may have felt tense at times, but inside our queer spaces? Joy. Protest. Resist.

This dress of flags from around the world reminded me: we’re everywhere. Even under threat, we rise. ✊🏽

Pride is Protest—Still. 💪🏽🌈
Next week I’ll be at WorldPride DC. While we march, others are silenced. Pride flags banned. Parades canceled. People arrested. From Hungary to Huntington Beach—Pride is being criminalized. #Pride is protest—for all of us, especially those who can’t.
#LGBTQ #transgender
A black-and-white protest scene with selective color highlighting a vivid rainbow Pride flag held high by a young woman raising her fist. She stands at the front of a group of determined LGBTQ+ activists holding signs that read “TRANS RIGHTS” and “PRIDE NOT PERSECUTION.” Large bold text across the top reads: “IN SOME PLACES, SHOWING UP GETS YOU ARRESTED.

It’s #Pansexual and Panromantic Awareness & Visibility Day 🩷💛💙

Pan = attraction/connection beyond gender.

They’re not confused.
Not “just bisexual.”
Not a phase.
They’re valid, visible—
and yes, they’ve heard every cookware joke.

#PanVisibilityDay #LGBTQIA #Pride #LGBTQ #LGBT
Split-panel illustration. Left side: A cartoon frying pan with googly eyes, rainbow steam, and pink hearts—representing a common misconception about pansexuality. Right side: A confident person surrounded by gender symbols, symbolizing pansexual and panromantic attraction beyond gender.

Speak up. Show up. Be loud.
