It's not new. They hate queer people & want us dead. It was the point in Reagan's era w/the AIDS crisis & it's the point again now.

"Times changed" & for a while they had to beat around the bush about it, but you should expect that less &less as they continue to get permission to throw it all away.
At RFK Jr’s direction, HHS plans to cut the National Suicide Hotline’s program for LGBTQ youth. In February, the program received an average of 2,100 contacts per day.

Checkout this badass move.

Don't forget you can use your power for good, too. You can usually find a way to do the right thing now, even if the rules say you can't.

Let 'em yell at you later. Let them tell you feeding kids was the wrong choice. Let them.

Wealthy people spend money differently than we do but often we discuss them as if they were us. That Ken Griffin v. JB condo BS? News was about KG's loss, but dude bought a dino fossil worth more $ than the condo, so what are we talking about? #noethicalbillionaires

If you want to fully understand this or most of Tyler's work, you're going to need to be queer *&* have consumed 30 years of hip hop. That's like 11 of us.

It's inspiring that something this niche & this authentically queer can have a deep impact on today's culture.

Don't go home today. Go downtown!

This is it. It's happening. It's time to do the thing you said you would do back when you were 20.

Have kids? Bring 'em! Plans tonight? Break 'em. It's happening *today*... Come!

#dontgohome #godowntown

@lgbtqvictoryfund.bsky.social - come get ya boy!

I've seen some bad takes from #CO Gov. @jaredpolis.bsky.social recently, but this Trump/RFK support really takes the cake. We need queer leadership to be *actual* leaders, not whatever this is.

Thankfully everything looks & works basically the same over here because I'm way too tired to learn a new social media thing.

But yes! Burn it down & start over!
