Help make sure LGBTQ+ stories are being told...

Very few actually. But you’re right – the hate of the RIGHT esp. the far right so called christians is creating danger for those just wanting to be ourselves. Christianity is the poison that will bring this country down. When people talk about indoctrination they should be focusing on those who force children to share their beliefs in the imaginary sky thing that they worship with facts to justify and confirm its existence. Truth is after thousands of years no proof of a supernatural being- god or jesus or allah or buddha can be confirmed with facts. The bible isn’t proof. “I think I saw an angel” isn’t proof. “When i took my toast out of the toaster and the darkened parts looked like Jesus” isn’t proof. When I made my morning “Stool” and it was in the shape of jesus that’s not proof.
I cannot believe how little coverage this LGBTQ site has given to the lack of Pride merchandise in stores this year bc they are cowards to these m0rons on the GQP right and their so called culture wars bc their pussies and scared of taking on Trump so they’re gaslighting and diverting the attention to a made up nonsense.
On a side note, SPOILER ALERT… Charlie develops an eating disorder in season 2 of Heartstopper. At least according to the books. Let’s see how they tone it down bc Alice the creator said she wants to still keep it light. Regardless, the current it boy Kit Connor will be back o
I think there is some nuance. Target moved the merchandise to the back of some stores because of threats to their employees. These companies do have a responsibility to the people who work for them.
Glad that Gavin Newsom pushed back against those right-wing school board fanatics banning books. Where are the conservative “free speech” warriors as all these bans are taking place?
Tyler James Williams’s comments were important but I also wish he’d stated clearly that there was nothing wrong with being thought to be gay, though this is implicit in his response to all the speculation.
That Elliot Page revelation: whoa! Max got whacked and didn’t even know it!
I love Newsome for standing up to these bullies. Sending those people there with no advance notice is cruel and a political stunt to get no meat disantis some haters votes. I do hope they find away to charge him with a crime. He is shooting for the top spot of ignorant bigot of the year. I live in Orlando and he is a scary martinet bent on forcing the world to follow his views. And on another topic Tim Scott is an Uncle Tom pos and his appearance on the view showed him much they are all so damned dangerous
I assumed Tyler James Williams was gay after Walking Dead, but the idea of going online and insisting on it without any real knowledge and then getting upset about it is just crazy.

Taylor Swift swallowed an insect on stage. That’s news.
Ricky Martin shirtless. That is not news.

Because you’re a supposedly straight man (lol) who browses gay sites to mock them while hiding your secret desires?

Taylor swallowed a bug and her new boyfriend kissed a guy. The next album writes itself.

You left out the bit about all the companies dropping their pride logos this year.
dbmcvey
“ALL” the companies?
No.

If they only support the LGBT community during June, and not all year, they SHOULD. We’re not here to make them money.

And Pride Month is for the gay animals!
