I posted an article just the other day of how Sri Lanka is decriminalizing homosexuality. There are many many bigots in the world that spew hate but there are also a lot of allies that uplift. It’s hard to see some days through the algorithms and doomers but there are a lot of good things happening. We just need to keep working together, we got this 😊
It felt like the world was making really solid progress in human rights from the 1990s onward. Once the crazies on the right decided to have their voices heard about their absurd conspiracies it’s been slowly eroding hope. I am a massive fan of free speech, but good lord how much can we take before these asshats start destroying the democracies we all hoped would bring the world some peace?
It’s not super surprising since, if you look at history, there tends to be progress, then pushback, progress, then pushback, over and over. Progress was the 90s-2010s, now’s the pushback. We just can’t let the pushback win.
it ain’t over till we’re dead, my friend. just gotta keep fighting.
Hallelujah!

This is definitely true. I want to optimistically believe this is changing as cis gay men realize that grooming rhetoric and drag queen/trans legislation affects all queer people equally. We’ll see how much the needle moves.
I mean, the LGB community does not have a good track record of supporting the T+ community as far as I know.
