Until 1992 being gay was removed from the list of mental health disorders, still to this day โconversion therapyโ still widely used, still legal in the UK. Thatโs why Iโm proud to spend valentines with who I want, being myself & loving it #LGBTHM22#Valentines

I do pride, not to talk about who I love or politics, I support pride to show younger self everything will be great, to show confused individuals I show no judgement or show a family they should love each other regardless. There are issues, do not hide! ๐ happy northern pride 23
๐ Itโs not our differences that divide us itโs the inability to recognise, accept embrace and celebrate those differences ๐ณ๏ธโ๐
Visibility matters, solidarity matters, equality matters, EVERYONE matters
In April 2023 68 countries still criminalise the LGBTQ+ community

Imagine being in a world in 2023 where you could get the death penalty for being gay โฆโฆ for everyone who questions pride - yesterday, in 2023 Uganda passed a bill which approves death penalty or 10 year jail time for being gay - DISGUSTING and SICK
