Me apareció en recuerdos la foto que fue LA FOTO del pride de 2024: un señor portugués abrazando una bandera LGBT.
El señor estaba parado en la puerta de su casa viendo pasar la marcha en Porto, sosteniendo una bandera portuguesa lo cual inicialmente asustó a varios porque agitar la bandera nacional en ese contexto puede ser señal de protesta nacionalista anti-LGBT. La gente en la marcha se detuvo, preocupada por lo que podría pasar. Pero resulta que el señor estaba agitando la bandera portuguesa porque no tenía una bandera arcoíris y quería participar de alguna forma.
Una chica llamada Lily se acercó. El hombre intercambió su bandera portuguesa por la bandera que Lily traía sobre los hombros. Lo que ven en la foto es el momento exacto en que él la recibe y la abraza.
Alguien se sintió visto y parte de algo más grande ese día. Eso es el orgullo: dejar de ser invisibles. 🏳️🌈❤️✨
i beg you all. while it's important to talk about Palestine and Iran, please don't ignore what's happening in SUDAN. SUDAN barely has any media coverage, we need to talk about it more
Israel ARRESTED this 13 year old Palestinian girl.
According to the law just passed, she could now be executed “legally” in the prison.
Please don’t let them kill her. Repost this.
A trans kid died after being attacked in a school toilet in Oklahoma by a gang of girls, shortly after the state passed a rule saying trans people must use the bathroom of their birth.
The BBC covered it because it would look bad if they didn’t, but buried deep on their news website on a page most visitors would never see.
Note in the report (link below) how it is written. From the headline you would never guess this was about a trans kid being attacked in a school toilet. How trans isn’t mentioned anywhere in the copy, even though this is a story about trans, and sits in the BBC section about trans people. Nex, who dressed as a boy, identified as non-binary, and was made to use the girl’s bathroom. Nex was rounded on by a gang. Following the attack, the school didn’t call an ambulance. The assailant was allowed to walk around the school freely. Nex died the following day, with an autopsy putting their death down to suicide. It’s also interesting to note that when a trans person dies or is killed - generating public sympathy - @bbcnews WILL suddenly start using a trans person’s pronouns. In life however, it is BBC News policy to strip trans people of all pronouns. It’s a good example of how BBC News cover stories depending on which groups are involved, and how they cover their arses. In terms of language and placement.
i hate everything about this story and my heart breaks for that professor but to give a little bit of light back i wanna say the world is more - and often better - than horrible headlines. i’m a pre-k teacher (in nebraska no less) and have known nothing but love from my families.
