[Senate Foreign Relations Committee @SFRCdems]

Congratulations to @NGLHRC on winning its case in Kenya to register as an NGO with the words "gay" & "lesbian" in its title.
Good to see the Kenyan Supreme Court uphold freedom of association against the backdrop of broader blatant discrimination against the LGBTQI+ community.

[Congressional Equality Caucus @EqualityCaucus]

Congratulations to @NGLHRC for winning their important Supreme Court case to register as an NGO! 🏳️‍🌈

This ruling is an important step forward for LGBTQI+ equality in Kenya & sends a message that LGBTQI+ organizations everywhere deserve legal recognition.

[Ancient of Gays @njerigateru]

Yup.

Get us out of here.

Here we are again, congregating on Twitter because the other apps are down.

Feels a bit like when there’s a fire drill at work and we’re all gathered on the car park.

We call on law enforcement agencies to accelerate their investigations into the March 2021 arson attack on the LGBTIQ refugee community in Kakuma camp - @njerigateru #ProtectLGBTIQRefugees #IDAHOBIT2021

[Caitlin Horrigan @HorriganCaitlin]

Powerful testimony from @njerigateru of @NGLHRC, including on urgent need to #EndGagNow as one of many actions needed to advance global LGBTQI+ rights

[Tarah Demant @tarahdemant]

“In Kenya, LGBTIQ peoples’ access to health care was also undermined by the #GlobalGagRule...it shuttered clinics who previously served LGBTIQ people and disrupted other services, including HIV treatment and prevention.” 👏👏👏@njerigateru @NGLHRC #EndGagNow

[The Council for Global Equality @Global_Equality]

So proud of panelists @JulieDorf, @njerigateru, and Isabela González for a strong & detailed defense of global #LGBTQI🏳️‍🌈 rights at the 1st LGBTQI-specific @HouseForeign committee hearing!

Our ED @njerigateru was part of the team that met Governor Nanok to discuss refugee rights & security as well as governance in Turkana earlier today.

[Irũngũ Houghton @irunguhoughton]

Pleasure was ours, also. Thank you @GovernorNanok for your time and that of the @TurkanaCountyKE Cabinet. Left very informed on the human rights context and progress #Turkana #Kwaground. Look forward to following up. #AmnestyDialogues

Ooh look at! 😍
Love this baby, so much! @njerigateru

[Anne Delorme @annecdelorme]

Inspired by the words of @njerigateru to build solidarity by telling stories of women showing up for each other, for these stories are not told often enough. Proud to have her on the ACTIF advisory board @EquitasIntl

As we go out to the streets of Nairobi to March for our lives, let’s remember the basics of care. Care for self and others. The govt isn’t gonna take it lightly, but the revolution was not a picnic. #SabaSabaMarchForOurlives

@urythmyc Ata mimi nimeanza kuangalia food groups as identities 🙄🙄

Anyways. Eat both bacon and salad and while at it, claim my queerness and address it by its goddamn name!!

[Ancient of Gays @njerigateru]

Right?

How tired we are, of look, a sprinkle of queerness looks good on my profile for two minutes until you begin to experience the non glamourous realities of our lives then you run back to the hills of corporate sponsorship crying foul.

FOH with your queer baiting!

[changemustcome @djmissRay]

Fuck these socialites and their closet drama.

Blah blah blah don't label me.
