🇨🇻 Cape Verde becomes 'paradise' for LGBTQ community in Africa
In an Africa marked by increasingly repressive anti-LGBTQ laws, the island nation of Cape Verde has become a haven of tolerance, but it hasn't been without a struggle.
To every trans person out there: you belong. You belong on your team. You belong in your sport. A ruling from 6 people in DC doesn't determine who you are or what you've earned.
I've spent my career fighting for the people who need it most — I'm not stopping now.
the annual new york times tradition of publishing a vaguely conservative essay by a white gay guy about how the lgbtq movement has “gone too far” in the last week of pride month
When the police raided New York’s Stonewall Inn in the early hours of June 28th, 1969, the queer and trans community of New York came together and, following the lead of Black trans activists, rose up to defend themselves.
The Stonewall Riots were a pivotal moment in the Gay Rights movement in the United States, galvanizing queer activists and leading to New York's first PRIDE parade one year later.
Stonewall wasn’t just an uprising for LGBTQ rights — it was part of a broader movement that fought racism, war, and poverty.
To go beyond today’s tepid gay activism, we need to remember its anti-capitalism: https://t.co/mxzSeHx7A8

According to a 2019 paper, homosexuality has been observed in over 1,500 species. Homophobia has only been observed in one.
It’s a fact. The real question is why that matters in the first place.

Today marks 11 years since Obergefell v. Hodges affirmed a simple, profound truth: everyone has the right to marry the person they love.
It's a day to celebrate the generations of LGBTQ+ people and organizers who fought to make that promise a reality.
When so many protections are being challenged, we should remember what it looks like when the Supreme Court expands freedoms instead of revoking them.
Love is always worth defending. Happy Pride.
Another outstanding endorsement for Abdul El-Sayed! Rep. Emily Dievendorf's another strong working class progressive, who refuses to sell-out marginalized Michiganders while trying to make Michigan a better place.
This Pride more than ever, the importance of Queer Cinema is clear
"The history of queer cinema is, in many ways, the history of people insisting on their right to exist..."

Michigan State House Republicans have refused to allow a vote on Pride Month. The resolution -- House Resolution 329 -- would declare June 2026 as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer Pride Month in the state of Michigan.
The House has passed Pride Month Resolutions in the past under Democratic AND Republican speakers. We do these resolutions all the time, we did one yesterday for the Cherry Industry. But, this year, Matt Hall and his band of Trump Republicans are leaning into hate because they think it helps them politically. Shame on them.
Still, despite Republican bigotry, Michigan will celebrate without them! Happy Pride! 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
A life well lived, and loudly 🏳️🌈

In this archival footage from 1953, trailblazing trans woman Christine Jorgensen is named “Woman of the Year” by the Scandinavian Societies of Greater New York.
Jorgensen became one of the first trans people to achieve international fame after her gender-affirming medical transition made headlines around the world.
She became a visible advocate for trans people and helped challenge public perceptions of gender.
Just a few decades earlier, homosexuality was widely classified as a mental illness by medical institutions, while trans people faced intense stigma, discrimination, and a lack of access to affirming healthcare.
Jorgensen's visibility helped bring conversations about gender identity into the public sphere and paved the way for future generations.
The award was presented by Dr. Harry R. Berglund, and following her return to the US, Jorgensen continued receiving medical and hormone care from pioneering endocrinologist Dr. Harry Benjamin.
