What a stunningly homophobic & utterly out of touch piece. The author wants gay people to stop thinking we deserve equal rights & just be nicer to her fellow bigots. Happy #Pride

I imagine @kathrynlopez in 1965 would be telling MLK and John Lewis that they should just find another lunch counter and there's nothing wrong with sitting in the back of the bus.
Stop acting like it's ok to discriminate against an entire group of people because of your bigotry.
In my latest piece for @damemagazine I wrote about #LGBTQ history since #Stonewall but also about how LGBTQ people are still under threat. Embedded in the piece are a dozen news stories I've reported on discrimination and violence against LGBTQ people. damemagazine.com/2019/06/24/50-…

I just wanted to remind everyone that less than a week ago a well-known writer accused the President of the United States of rape and not a single member of Congress has called for an investigation.

#EJeanCarroll speaks about sexual assault allegations
After the @AC360 interview with #EJeanCarroll, I went back and re-read Ivana Trump's account of Trump raping her.
The similarities with Carroll's experience are hard to miss.
Most rapists have a pattern.
This is Trump's.
TW for sexual violence:

thedailybeast.com/ex-wife-donald…
“Oh my god, we have enough inquiries going on!” said Rep. Karen Bass (D-CA), the chair of the Congressional Black Caucus said about the rape accusation against Trump and whether the House should address it. “I think that would be ridiculous.”

Really good piece by @paulwaldman1 on @ejeancarroll's "credible accusation" of rape.
Waldman queries--rightly--how we have become so inured to Trump's history of sexual misconduct and assault. He says flat out that the president is likely a rapist and cites why.
Heavy stuff.
1/
Waldman explains how what Carroll describes rings true compared to other accounts from other women.
And notes that she told two friends at the time.
One said, go to police, the other said, stay silent, he'll bury you.
We all know the second friend was right.
2/
The question is, why aren't we doing something for Carroll and Trump's other victims? Why have we chosen--even those who are not Trump supporters--to ignore these allegations? Why wasn't Carroll's story front page? Why did the @my post pull it?

Incredibly powerful interview with #EJeanCarroll and panel responding to her.
@amandacarpenter was especially compelling.
Women who have been sexually assaulted will get this.
Carpenter says Carroll is "not just random." She's a famous columnist we've all read.
@AC360
.@TheLauraCoates speaks to women's responses to rape as a federal prosecutor and says Carroll is credible.
Carpenter says "this is an uncomfortable conversation."
She says, "Should men who are accused of sexual violence against women be in positions of power."
Indeed.
@AC360
Maggie Haberman says that nothing will change people's minds on Trump.
Alas, she's right.
Coates says women are feeling that they cannot win against a man in power and that "speaks volumes about where we are in 2019."

1/ Today is day 2 of our #pride series focusing on #lgbtq+ health, and we’re going to spend today reviewing some important terms. #MedTwitter
2/ Let’s start with what we will affectionately call the alphabet soup. “LGBT” is likely familiar to many, but what people say after the T varies from person to person both in form and meaning.
3/ Terms one might see after LGBT include:
❤️Q: queer, and/or questioning (one’s sexuality, gender identity, etc.)
🧡I: intersex
💚A: asexual, agender and/or ally
💙+: meant to include any and all other identities not already included in the previous letters.

Achei válido fazer uma thread sobre o movimento LGBT em NY depois que vi algumas infos desencontradas na timeline ontem sobre o Stonewall. Então lá vai. Conheça sua história, guei! #Pride
Na década de 60 existiam leis conservadoras e preconceituosas que eram usadas para colocar LGBTs na cadeia - principalmente trans. A primeira mandava prender quem tivesse usando alguma peça de roupa não apropriada ao seu ‘gênero’.
A segunda proibia a venda de álcool em bares para ‘grupos de desordem’ e advinha quem a polícia chamava de grupo de desordem? As gay.

🏳️‍🌈 For LGBT Pride Month I will be creating a thread about LGBT representation in the genres of science fiction, horror, fantasy, comics, comic strips, animation & video games. There will be five categories of posts. "Our Past" will be about folks no longer with us.
🏳️‍🌈 PART II: "Our Now" will spotlight people who are still living- even if they are retired. "Live Action" will be a LGBT fictional CHARACTER portrayed a live actor / voice actor / motion capture actor. This does not mean the actor themselves are LGBT. "Character" will be
🏳️‍🌈 PART III: about fictional characters whether on screen, in books, comics, animation, comic strips or video games. The final category will not be posted daily. It will be "Shout Out." Which deals with "A Fandom Of Our Own" w/ posts about LGBT folks organizing & standing up

So, I've waded through the Evangelical Alliance's new pastoral "guidelines" for interacting with trans people (ughh, the things I do to expose #transphobic #ciswits to the world), and let's just say it's time to tear this particular sh*t-bag a new hole.

So, straight off the bat, first page of text, the use of #language is . . . well, yeah, see for yourself:

"It is important to remember that transgender is not simply an issue to be debated;" - p5, #Transformed

*sigh*

When such language gets reinforced by insisting...

Oh, it's soon time to log off, so here is my final blurb for the week.

They're some thoughts I find important, and I hope they reach you.
Be kind.

Listen and learn. We all have something to say, but we must also listen to relay our message efficiently. Being an asshole or "serving" someone in a discussion doesn't gain you anything.
Check on that friend you haven't talked to in a while. Where are they now, what are they up to?

Does someone close to you sound or look sad, tired, void of emotion? Ask how they're doing, and listen. Sometimes it only takes one person to help.
