These things don’t just happen. Follow the money

[🎒Shailja #FreePalestine Patel @shailjapatel]

"Since 2007, U.S. right-wing Christian groups have spent over $280 million fighting gay and abortion rights abroad. Over $50 million has gone to courting African politicians & religious leaders and funding programs against sexual and reproductive rights."

I was very disappointed by the statement made by @ABCmediawatch this afternoon. It did not acknowledge the substance of the complaints made in the open letter signed by over 20+ LGBTQIA+ and human rights organisations.

Text analysis is one thing @AP How about following the money to @ ADFLegal ?

[The Associated Press @AP]

With more than a dozen states enacting laws limiting gender-affirming care for transgender minors, an AP analysis found that many of those bills stemmed not from a grassroots movement but from a handful of conservative interest groups’ model legislation. https://t.co/0v9lo1f5eA

Today is IDAHOBIT. We celebrate the remarkable things we achieve together & stand with our communities facing terrible threats, such as in Uganda. Even in privileged countries our rights are under attack & we can't take our gains for granted. https://t.co/q3fNJyrz1e

LAST NIGHT ON @MSNBC: @frankmugisha, executive director of sexual minorities Uganda, spoke out against the 2023 Anti-Homosexuality Law under revision by Ugandan Parliament with @maddow: "It's here to erase the entire existence of an LGBTQ person in Uganda" https://t.co/vIZ96hv7xb

In a glaring example of the Venn diagram between Christian nationalism and the push to legislate transgender people out of existence, Pastor Stuart Long claimed non-Christian members of the Ohio House were likely possessed by demons

The burden of autism.

All the names, they stay with me. Connections upon connections - sometimes, it is useful. For organisations like #Hillsong.

I talked about current Hillsong Board member Stephen Crouch earlier today. And then I looked, and looked again. And saw this.

In practical effect there’s little difference between “We’re going to avoid acknowledging trans people because we’re bigots who want them to vanish” and “We’re going to avoid acknowledging trans people because we don’t want to deal with the attendant controversy.”

[Pauline Pantsdown @PPantsdown]

Great 1995 pic of Pope John Paul accidentally blessing the Taxi Club in Darlinghurst, during his Sydney motorcade. The Taxi Club was the main late night hangout for trans people, really drunk gay boys & whoever was still standing at 4am.

TikToks flagging Alliance Defending Freedom

[Daniel Bleakley @DanielBleakley]

There is a Gen Z led revolution happening on TikTok right now.

This clip has had 500k views and there are thousands more like it being shared every day.

This is why governments are desperately trying to shut down TikTok.

Gen Z is fierce and unstoppable and will change the world.
