This is classic bully behavior. Oh I didn't mean to. All that unchecked #homophobia makes me think you wanna try it there bud. I'm free at 7pm but I want dinner and drinks first. No? Well damned #news #trump https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/19/trump-white-house-harvard-funding-mistake.html

Tran is now feeling both the “pressure of representing a community in a specific way,” and the struggle of continuing to work through her own internalized misogyny, racism and homophobia. But the actor wants “to live in a world where there is a generation after me that does not have any of that.”

If Labour are going to throw Queer people under the bus for the US, will they do the same for Autistics as well?

Let me tell you about the intersection of Transphobia and Ableism, and how it's all interrelated despite the Media not wanting us to put it all together and recognise the fascist coup for what it is.

I couldn’t believe I was on a train in New York City, one of the most liberal places in the world, and someone was saying the word fruity, right to my face. I had to assume he still didn’t realize he was talking to a gay person.

Today is Day of Silence at many schools across the US, at least at those with the courage to ignore Trump's threats against DEI and against the lgbtq community. On this day, many students and teachers take a vow of silence in solidarity with lgbtq people throughout the world who are silenced by homophobic and transphobic laws, threats and violence, and to help educate their peers about homophobia and transphobia.

I am proud to say that scores of my students (both gay and straight) participated today by wearing stickers and, in many cases, remaining silent for the entire morning.

Covid is no worse than the flu?

I know, I have now led dozens of posts over the past few years with this sarcastic question. But now, with the pandemic officially declared over by the politicians and the majority of the public behaving as though Covid19 is no longer a threat, it seems particularly apropos in light of the reasons for declaring the pandemic over: to get people back to work and back to consuming. Yet, as the data from this study show, Long Covid has had an enormous negative impact on the income and quality of life for millions of Americans, particularly the poor and working class, and particularly for African Americans and women.

*Nearly 1 in 7 working-age adults in the U.S. had experienced Long Covid by the end of 2023
*Socially disadvantaged adults were 152% more likely to suffer from Long Covid
*Groups with higher risk for Long Covid include being Black, LGBTQ, Hispanic, Female, or low income
*In 2022, people with Long Covid lost $211 billion in wages
*In 2023, people with Long Covid lost $218 billion in wages

One reason for the disproportionate effect of Long Covid on marginalized communities, particularly BIPOC and poor people, is that these groups suffer disproportionately from chronically elevated levels of the stress hormone, Cortisol, due to the stress caused by racism, sexism, homophobia, and poverty. Elevated Cortisol levels are also associated with increased risk of heart disease, hypertension, and diabetes, as well as impaired immune function.

For a really good documentary on the Social Determinants of Health and the relationship between racism and poverty on stress/cortisol levels and negative health outcomes, please see the Unnatural Causes video series

Mickey Rourke’s Homophobic Comments Toward JoJo Siwa on Celebrity Big Brother Are a Sad Reminder of the Danger LGBTQ People Face https://www.inbella.com/994421/mickey-rourkes-homophobic-comments-toward-jojo-siwa-on-celebrity-big-brother-are-a-sad-reminder-of-the-danger-lgbtq-people-face/ #CelebritiesNews #homophobia #JojoSiwa #LGBTQ #LGBTQ+Rights

My fav transphobic/homophobic remark is "how can I explain it to my KIDS" because it would necessarily mean that EVERY time this couple sees a straight couple they lean down to their little kid and explain:

"YOU KNOW JUNIOR THAT'S A MAN HE PUTS HIS BOIL-COVERED COCK RIGHT UP HER YEAST HOLE EVERY NIGHT KNOWWHATIMEAN"

NOBODY fucking "explains" random strangers sex lives, genders, or parts, to their kids.

Children are never racist, sexist, or homophobic. Until they're taught to be. Bigots are our society's real groomers. #endbigotry #endracism #endsexism #endhomophobia #bigotry #racism #sexism #homophobia #equalrights #civilrights #equality #protest #bicentennial #publicschool

Kristin Du Mez, Gene Weingarten, and John Ismay report on the 381 books that Trump-Hegseth have removed from the Naval Academy Library in a purge of books by and focusing on Black authors, women, LGBTQ people, etc.

For those of us looking for good books to read, a valuable list….

In a few years people and companies who do this will be doing the apology rounds like a YouTuber when their old tweets resurface. I'll save you the trouble, at the time of this choice in 2025 Zuckerberg was 40 years old, well aware of the impact of his choices.
