In Japan, the law requires trans people to be given a diagnosis of “gender identity disorder” and undergo sterilizing surgery if they wish to change their legal gender.

2,000 global healthcare professionals just asked Japan to change this law https://t.co/V1oidaRhvP

[Kyle Knight @knightktm]

The World Professional Association for Transgender Health (@WPATH) has written to the government of #Japan urging them to scrap the restrictive provisions in its legal recognition process for trans people -- including mandatory sterilization: https://t.co/hkFlwfkFLJ

.@outmagazine and @TheAdvocateMag are critical LGBTQ media outlets. We will not allow these brands to perish. They deserve owners who can ensure LGBTQ journalism has a bright and long future.

🏳️‍🌈🇷🇺 I wrote an open letter about the international reaction to the Chechen Gay Purge. Stop with sending useless diplomatic letters! Put it on the agenda of the UN Security Council. It is the only place an attempt to genocide should be discussed. ✉️👇https://t.co/Qo1AOS9A43

What Jussie Smollett experienced is both, racist and homophobic, hate violence. Full stop.

[Russian-speaking American LGBTQ+ Association @rusalgbtq]

The head of @rulgbtnet Igor has been threatened with death for his efforts to rescue the victims of queer purge in Chechnya! See the details - https://t.co/UxnUh2IJ7z @voices4_

[Saeed Jones @theferocity]

"Jussie Smollett was brutally attacked by 2 men who beat him up, put his head in a noose and screamed, "This is MAGA country.””

[Wyatt Harms @WyattHarms]

40 queer people are still being held in concentration camps in Chechnya, being tortured and rightfully fearful for their lives. Why are we not acting to stop this? https://t.co/zLxXV1kjDg

[Wyatt Harms @WyattHarms]

@robbie_couch @Slade @voices4_ trying to figure that out as well. I think it starts by queer media, queers in media and queers with platforms caring more and amplifying what is happening. We need a statement from @HRC, a @tyleroakley video, a @RuPaul tweet

[Voices 4 @voices4_]

It’s time for queer media and queers with platforms to step up for our queer family in Chechnya

[Voices 4 @voices4_]

Let’s be very clear—40 queer Chechens currently detained and potentially facing execution cannot wait. The time for the international community to act is now.

[USA TODAY Opinion @usatodayopinion]

Without clear international action, Chechen officials have felt emboldened to continue in their anti-#LGBTQ purge. Is the US going to do anything about it? https://t.co/JKHprilabN

@glaad @wyattharms @realDonaldTrump Thank you for sharing, now let’s get the international community to start acting 💪🏼🏳️‍🌈
