The main commercial street is all decorated for the pride. But Today I Learned that the usual contractor* that sets the various decoration in that street (national/regional days, Sinterklas/christmas, ... ) refused to hang the rainbow flags. Invoking religious reasons, so I heard.

Instead, this was done by the local + community. While doing so, they were subjected to insults and death threats.

That is, even in a country where the police and the military have a pride ship for the parade, the fight for existence and recognition of sexual diversity is not over. It's never over.

*Correction: This is apparently a misconception, there is no single contractor for all such decorations. It is unclear to me if they just all declined, or if the municipality simply left it to the community to do that.

If we agree that all human beings are persons and that "persons" deserve respect, what aspects of personhood justify discrimination based on race, sexuality, or nationality? Let's unpack this. +

Disappointing to see go down the “Big Pharma is out to get you” rabbit hole but even worse to see her spew out anti-trans propaganda.

Not a good look for someone who claims to have an affinity with her extensive + fan base.

Another great LGBTQI+ podcast is Welcome to Provincetown (welcome-to-provincetown.simple). In 12 episodes you follow the ups and downs of several people during a summer in this gay resort. Meanwhile you get to know the special meaning Provincetown, but also how this special place is in danger of losing its' soul. And a special shoutout to Summer of Sass (summerofsass.org): a safe haven for queer kids. It plays a central rol in this podcast series.

Repressive governments (at home and abroad) always bash and persecute gay and trans people to distract from their own failings.

The gov of Canada has replied to petition e-4268 yesterday and I like what I’m reading—it’s not nearly enough but it’s a beginning

🧵

“[…] Canada will be partnering with Rainbow Railroad, an organization based in Canada and the United States that focuses on advocacy and helping LGBTQI+ individuals who seek safe haven from state-sponsored or enabled violence, to refer LGBTQI+ refugees under the Government-Assisted Refugees Program.” [1/3]

Bad Gays (badgayspod.com) is a great podcast about LGBTQI+ history from a fun point of view: evil & complicated people. This podcast is more analytical in nature compared to the previously reviewed podcast. Over time the two podcasters develop a theme, where colonialism, racisme & class colour the development of the gay identity. Thought provoking and fun! (Btw they also wrote a book about it)

"Don't say gay"-Gesetz: Schulbezirk in Florida zensiert Shakespeare

In Florida dürfen sexuelle Orientierung und Geschlechtsidentität bis zur zwölften Klassenstufe nicht mehr Teil des Unterrichts sein. Dem Gesetz fallen in einem Schulbezirk nun sogar Shakespeare-Werke zum Opfer.

‘Making Gay History’ is one of my favourite podcasts. “Bringing the voices of LGBTQ+ history to life” is its goal. Based on audio tapes made by Eric Marcus while interviewing people for his many books, these podcasts give a unique insight in American LGBTQI+ history from the 1950’s onward. Because he started these interviews in the 1980’s often long lost voices come back to us. 12 seasons of LGBTQ+ audio history. makinggayhistory.com

When Micheal Knowles said transgender people aren't a real category and thus don't have the right to work, I want everyone to remember what the Germans said about Jews in the 1930s. You'll instantly understand the issue. And if you try defending what he said, you need to take a step back and ask why you are, and reevaluate your stance.
