Queer content continues to be censored & no one is held accountable. We have a right to vital health & human rights information. Online content moderation works against our community. We must demand free and equal access.

No penetration? No problem. Frotting is another way to explore pleasure, build intimacy, and find what works for you and your partners. Communicate, respect boundaries, and enjoy the experience.

Somos fortes e orgulhosos! 🏳️🌈 We have the power to make change. ✊🏽 Our Kiss-in at AIDS 2026 in Rio 🇧🇷 was a declaration of LGBTQ+ rights. We will continue fighting to ensure everyone can freely express themselves, control their bodies, and pursue pleasure. 💋 Beijos!
Criminalization is bad for human rights and bad for public health. Fear of persecution is pushing people away from essential health services. Governments must be held accountable and LGBTQ rights must be protected. Gay sex is not a crime.

Vibrators, strap-ons, cock rings, and more, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to queer pleasure. Explore what works for you, communicate your boundaries, and remember: you have a right to explore ways to give yourself pleasure.

Queer sexuality is power, pleasure, and resistance. 🔥🏳️🌈 In a world that criminalize us, we continue to shamelessly express ourselves, challenge stigma, and fight for our rights.
Our sex is political. Our existence is resistance. ✊🏾💋
