These are not three separate lives I must keep negotiating. My faith is real My identity is real I refuse to believe that God made me only to spend my life apologising for who I am. #TransChristian

No child should undergo unnecessary, irreversible procedures simply because their body does not fit society’s expectations. #IntersexAwarenessDay #IntersexRights

Denying gender affirming care to trans people behind bars isn't policy it is state sanctioned cruelty. Human dignity does not vanish at the prison gate. Healthcare is a right, not a privilege you lose when the state locks you up. We fight for every single life, inside and out. @scotusblog.com

Happy Ace Week! 🖤🩶🤍💜 Asexual, often called “ace” for short, refers to a complete or partial lack of sexual attraction or lack of interest in sexual activity with others. Asexuality exists on a spectrum, and asexual people may experience no, little, or conditional sexual attraction. #AceWeek

I know fear. I know rejection. But I also know this silence will not save us. Speaking will. And I will not stop. Transgender rights are human rights. #HumanRights #TransLivesMatter

When faith leads us to condemn rather than care,we are practicing empty religion, because true compassion is visible in how we treat those society rejects, and faith leaders whether Christian or Muslim must remember that disagreement is never an excuse for cruelty or stigma. #Interfaith #EndStigma

I’ve just learned that it’s International Pronouns Day So for the record again - mine are She\Her Why not celebrate International Pronouns Day by respecting and using peoples’ correct pronouns all the damn time? Even if they change them. & even if they change them again. Thanks

Our advocacy must be judged by action, not just posts. Are people safer? Can they access healthcare? Are youth heard? Are leaders held accountable? Real change is measured in results, not rhetoric. Let’s do the work that matters. #MutualAid #CommunityCare #PolicyChange @amnesty.org @aclu.org

Senegal is systematically targeting #LGBTQ+ individuals with unlawful mass arrests and horrific reports of forced HIV testing. Driving vulnerable populations into hiding completely dismantles public health infrastructure. This is a human rights crisis. Senegal must be held accountable @hrw.org

We inherit their courage, but we also inherit a responsibility. To document our stories, protect our elders, honour those we’ve lost, listen to our young people, and ensure the next generation knows that #LGBTQIA+ people have always existed, loved, led, believed, and fought for a better world.

Today is LGBT Center Awareness Day. Community centres can connect people to support, healthcare information, learning and belonging. What support do you wish existed in your community? #LGBTQIA #CommunityCare

Knowing your HIV status is an important step towards taking care of your health. Getting tested helps you make informed decisions, access the care you need and protect yourself and those you love.

It's been 28 years since Matthew Shepard was killed in a violent anti-LGBTQ hate crime. I’m fighting to ban the bigoted 'panic' defense used by one of his killers from being used in federal court. I'll always work to protect LGBTQ+ Americans from violence with my colleagues in the Equality Caucus.

They preach about a God of love but use that same faith to justify rejection, humiliation, and hatred of LGBTQIA+ people. What kind of love abandons a child? What kind of faith celebrates cruelty? If your religion makes you hate your own child, then you must question the hatred not the child. #LGBT

Coming out is a personal decision. It belongs to each of us, on our own terms and in our own time. No one should be forced out, and no one should be outed. Out to everyone, out to a few, or not out at all, you are valid and you are enough. #NationalComingOutDay #SMUG #Uganda

Happy Independence Day Uganda! Today we celebrate this country, and we hold onto the hope that one day every Ugandan, without exception, will fully enjoy the freedom this day represents. May we continue to rise. #UCAAUganda #IndependenceDay #Uganda #9thOctober

Reckless cuts & delays in funding for HIV research networks have some researchers worried their funding may be cut off by the Trump Admin, threatening the advancements we've made in the fight against HIV & AIDS. Trump's cuts are needlessly putting lives on the line.

There should never be a political strategy that requires throwing transgender people under the bus. We are not a talking point, a campaign weapon or a price to pay for power. We are people. You can disagree on policy, but you do not get to make our lives the target.

Following reporting from Erin In The Morning, the Equality Caucus has come out with a more forceful response against Democrat Marcy Kaptur's anti-trans ads. "This is a red line for us." The large Democratic caucus will not support her reelection. Subscribe to support our journalism.

“We’re only on this earth for however long we are here and I’ll be damned if I’m not able to be fully who I am.” — Layla Taylor #queer #gay #lesbian #bi #trans #lgbtq #lgbt #lgbqt #lgbtqia🏳️‍🌈 #lgbtqia🌈 #pride #visibility #quotes #hopecore #queerhope

We should be able to disagree without destroying each other. But when someone's identity becomes a reason to deny them work, healthcare, family or safety, that is no longer just an opinion. Someone's life is being affected.

Today, we remember not only the beauty and love shared and taught to us by our lesbian siblings, but also the instrumental role that they historically have played in the movement for LGBTQ+ rights. Happy #InternationalLesbianDay!

For LGBTQIA+ people, feeling isolated or unsafe can be deeply painful. Let’s choose compassion over judgment, listen without shame, and remind one another: your story matters, and you are not alone. I believe our communities should be places of refuge, not shame rejection.

I’ve learned that I don’t have to convince everyone to understand me. I know who I am, and I know the life I deserve. Protect your peace. Not every attack deserves a response. Choose the people who respect you, love you and allow you to breathe freely. speak when it matters, and keep moving.

Silencing news outlets and blocking social media accounts for reporting on #LGBTQ+ people. Today it may be our voices. Tomorrow, whose voice will be next? Human rights totally means being able to speak, report, organize and be heard without fear. Silencing people is repression. @engelliweb.com
