It would take far more than a month to honor the contributions of queer and transgender New Yorkers.
From the Cercle Hermaphroditos in 1895, the first trans advocacy group in the United States, to the drag balls of the Harlem Renaissance, to the Stonewall uprising, to the Lesbian Herstory Archives, to ACT UP!, founded in 1987 as queer people fought for their lives while the Reagan administration looked away, New York City's history has long been shaped by queer and trans New Yorkers.
To all our queer and trans neighbors: you deserve a City where you can afford to live safely, openly, and joyfully.
Happy Pride, New York City.
Las generaciones recientes abrazan las ideas progresistas pero no se toman el trabajo de desprogramarse de toda la crianza conservadora y por eso tenemos opiniones tan rancias disfrazadas de glitter woke
I don’t think people are understanding this headline - this is genuinely one of the coolest things I’ve seen a movie do.
They hired an ACTUAL artist to PAINT a meme in the style of the ai ones to poke fun at them. Would’ve been so easy to ai generate something for the movie but they held themselves to a higher standard which I really really respect.
Today is Trans Day of Visibility.
Trans, non-binary, and gender-nonconforming people have always been here — from the hijra of India to the Diné nádleehi to the leaders who built the modern LGBTQIA+ movement here in New York.
Your existence is not up for debate. Your lives are not a political issue.
We’re fighting for a city where every trans New Yorker can live openly, safely, and with joy.
As I've put it in the past, we have a lot of transgender lovelies in this community and I hope you all know how wonderful you are!
You have every right as anyone to be who you are, and will always be accepted here.
This is a day of visibility for you, and stand proud ❤️
You will never own a house, You will never be able to afford children, You will live paycheck to paycheck
Your taxes go to bombing/raping innocent children.
You will live in a police state. All your rights will be taken away.
But at least trans people will have it worse 🙏
next time a show you really love gets canceled after one season just know Rent a Girlfriend got 5 seasons and Big Mouth got 8 so the world just hates you specifically
