In 1996 NYPD officer Johnston pulled me over for failing to signal. After looking at me he called me a faggot and to told me to get out of my car. He referred to me as faggot several more times and said when he’s through I’ll never be allowed to drive again. While waiting at the
back of my car he summoned several other officers over (2 or 3 more squad cars had showed up.) He called me over to the group of laughing police officers and told me to hold out my hands to show everyone a “faggot’s nails”. (They were polished black.)
I remember being made to show every officer my hands while they circled around me and not one of them stopped the harassment. Instead they chimed in with laughter and name calling. At the first court hearing officer Johnston and several others showed up and continued their

1. Hey @FoxNews, your recent complaints about the LGBTQ+ flag and how the American flag is the 'only approved flag' in America overlooked the fact that American Indian tribes are sovereign nations within the United States. It's important
2. to recognize that American Indian tribes are distinct Nations with their own governments, laws, cultures, and histories. As a news outlet, it's crucial to accurately report.
3. You are so Patriotic 🙄 So proud of the Constitution. But what about Article VI, Clause 2? The part that says: Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land?

Pride Month traces its roots back to the Stonewall Uprising of 1969, when LGBTQ+ individuals stood up against discrimination and fought for their right to exist authentically. This pivotal moment in history ignited a flame that still burns brightly today. #Stonewall50
Pride emerged from the pain and struggle faced by LGBTQ+ people who were marginalized, oppressed, and denied their basic human rights. It stands as a symbol of resilience, a testament to the indomitable spirit that rises in the face of adversity.
Rainbow washing is defined as: “The act of using or adding rainbow colors and/or imagery to advertising, apparel, accessories, landmarks…in order to indicate progressive support for LGBTQ equality (and earn consumer credibility)—but with a minimum of effort or pragmatic result.”
During June, companies that engage in rainbow washing will transform into colourful hubs, with bright, rainbow versions of their logo on social media. Their advertising and feeds may “highlight” local members of the LGBTQI+ community, featuring them wearing their seasonal “Pride”
Then BOOM—the first of July rolls around and everything switches back to business as usual while they walk away with your hard-earned LGB & TQ+ cash. It’s all about the money and our same sex sexuality + 1000’s of genders as their products to sell.
Pride Month 2023:we continue to champion equality& diversity, which we strive to do all yr round. Leaders should be dedicated & visible with their responsibilities both inside & outside of sch to foster a sense of belonging for all. Heres how: #DiversityandInclusion #Pride2023

#CharitySoStraight
#CharitySoStraight
Firstly, it doesn't have to complicated! Focus on what #PrideMonth is about: celebration + protest. Think about content that helps readers learn something about your organisation, but more importantly, the people in it and the people you work with. 2/? #CharitySoStraight #Pride
You have a platform. Use it for good. Enable Queer voices to be heard. Offer them a platform. This is not a time to amplify corporate voice. #PrideMonth is the perfect time to offer a platform to your Queer stakeholders, employees, volunteers or partners #CharitySoStraight
