#LGBTQ2S+
Also I’ve made a resolution to be better about my time of day posting on @womensart2.bsky.social (although I need to tell Sinéad about it).

I’m going to try to post in when I’m on lunch and not just morning and evenings. Because this platform needs more LGBTQ2S+ and inclusive art.

Nova Scotia has one of the largest LGBTQ2S+ community per capita in Canada, we are very supportive of the community here. 🏳️‍🌈

It was just a few weeks ago that they spotlit the daughters of the garbage former owner (themselves still holding a small ownership stake) talking about how important it is that the Sens are affirming and inclusive for LGBTQ2S+ fans specifically.

Thank you for writing this. I have read it a few times. Our country has always vilified "the other", whether it is indigenous persons; women; LGBTQ2S persons; the poor; the mentally and physically different; non-caucasion persons; politically active individuals; and rural vs big city ideologies.

Excuse me, but you can't just fob off all the deplorables to the LGBTQ2S community. You straight people need to clean up your OWN garbage. We have ENUFF problems with Mike Johnson right now... 😉

Several years ago the local LGBTQ2S+ came under new ownership. Eventually they became a full on anti-vaxx/Freedom Convoy club but before that they just got really aggressive with kicking people out.

New new ownership is now holding an open mic night where past patrons can share why they were banned

If you have not paid any attention to all the media over the last few decades, you have missed the growing ultra-right wing fascism which is strongly backed by huge heaps of $$$ from the Fossil Fuel industry, separatism, hatred of & violence vs immigrants, Indigenous peoples, LGBTQ2S+ & downtrodden

Obviously everyone’s #privacy and security needs are different and not everyone has the means to implement these practices. Finances, disabilities, family needs, location must considered

If you are at risk of being targeted like an activist, journalist, sex worker, immigrant, LGBTQ2S+ you may …

The woman who groomed me, sexually assaulted me and stalked me for five years I later learned became a UMC pastor. A year ago she left UMC for the Global Methodists. So I guess in her mind that LGBTQ2S persons must be worse than her being a child rapist and stalker.

At Xtra I was able to shepherd a few big projects this year, including the launch of our six-part podcast diving into the history of LGBTQ2S+ reality TV (hosted by me!).

It’s really good and I’m so proud of all of work the great Daniel MacIvor did on it. xtramagazine.com/get-queer-po...

Hmmm. That is quite a label you give yourself. I have no problem with any part of it, but I confess, it becomes difficult to understand all the various terms that are possible in LGBTQ2S community. What I do see is the commonality that we are all human, regardless of how we identify. That’s key.

I am a proud longstanding ally of the LGBTQ2S community.

When all they are defending is freedom to plunder, freedom to oppress non-whites, freedom to oppress women, & freedom to oppress LGBTQ2S+ people, we have to realize that none of this is about speech as such. It's about preserving power for the .1 percent who have all the power now.

I didn't think that Canada 🇨🇦 was going to have to take in LGBTQ2S+ as legitimate refugees from state persecution.

We are supposed to be launching into a post petrol economy. With every house self sufficient in power and water. Food gardening cities for resilience and joy.

I have no problem with our tax dollars funding #HeatedRivalry . I just wished the people of Canada owned a bit of the profits so we could fund LGBTQ2S stuff. Or pay for lawyers to fight homophobic/transphobic Alberta.

A strong labour party became too focused on needs of a select few instead of the needs of the majority of voters

I'm talking about way too much focus on first nations, LGBTQ2S & immigrants

When the majority of voters look at the NDP it doesn't look like them - so they don't get votes & don't win

The safe execution of shows like ‘The Last of Us’ and ‘Gen V’ alongside the shockingly brutal deaths to hit queer characters on ‘The Wheel of Time,’ ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ and beyond highlight the troubling backward trajectory of LGBTQ2S+ characters on the small screen.
