Only in a year where #GiselePélicot holds 50 men who raped her to account does a rapist President get named Person of the Year (for the second time). The message is clear: misogyny rewards power, while survivors like Gisele fight to ensure #ShameMustChangeSides.

Uneducated voters are a much greater threat than illegal immigrants.

I wish this video wasn’t relevant again, but here we are.

To those who say politics aren’t personal, my life tells a different story. In 2011, I lost my partner. Sadly, our love had not been legally recognized at the state or federal level, and in the raw aftermath of his death, I faced discrimination that compounded my grief. This experience ignited my journey advocating for marriage equality and LGBTQ+ rights, through public speaking, a documentary called “Bridegroom,” and my YouTube video, “It Could Happen To You.” I knew then, as I know now, that my story was not unique. This fight has always been, and will always be, deeply personal.

Over the years, we have celebrated significant victories, like the repeal of Prop 8 in California and the nationwide end of DOMA. These hard-won rights came through decades of relentless advocacy and sacrifice by LGBTQ+ individuals and allies. But today, these gains are once again at risk. We must stay vigilant to protect them.

The threat to marriage equality is not hypothetical. The President-elect has openly stated his intention to appoint Supreme Court justices who could dismantle marriage rights at a federal level. Meanwhile, Republican leadership across the country continues to oppose LGBTQ+ protections.

Civil rights should never be contingent on geography. We must stand united in protecting these essential freedoms—not just for ourselves, but for future generations who deserve the dignity of equal treatment under the law. Together, let’s make sure that love, equality, and dignity remain protected for all. Our love, our families, our futures are worth fighting for.

I know many of us feel hopeless and scared right now, but here are some ways you can take action to protect yourselves and the LGBTQ+ community RIGHT NOW. This is in no way comprehensive, merely a starting point for those who want/need it.

@Ricci1289 Ich bin der Meinung, jede neue Mutter sollte das so handhaben, wie es sich für sie und das Kind richtig anfühlt. Die Bindung zu den Großeltern wird nicht darunter leiden, wenn sie das Kind erst nach einer Woche kennenlernen.

Never tell a little girl that when a boy is mean or rude to her it's because he has a crush on her. Don't teach her that abuse is a sign of love.

In light of JK Rowling’s anger at Algerian boxer Imane Khelif, who was born female, I’ve attached a screenshot of all of the tweets the esteemed protector of women has written about convicted child rapist Steven van de Velde being allowed to compete at the Olympics

If you think that somehow the presence of some Hamas members justifies the killing of children in Rafah

Ask yourself:

If 2 Hamas members were hiding in a daycare in Israel or in the US, would you support bombing the daycare?

Why are Palestinian lives worth less?
