Again, please call your senators and urge them to vote against a bill that would tear Medicaid from the disadvantaged and tear the power to regulate AI from the states. We do not need to wound the helpless and enrich the powerful. I mean, haven't we already done it enough?

Hegseth has ordered that the USNS Harvey Milk, named for the iconic gay rights icon, be renamed. Harvey Milk served as a diving officer and later as a diving instructor for four years in the U.S. Navy. That this would happen at the start of Pride is intentional. www.military.com/daily-news/2...

A plan to bar people from celebrating Pride in the park at Dupont Circle this weekend has been canceled, Councilmember Zachary Parker said. The change comes less than 24 hours after the closing was announced and received pushback from local elected officials.

This video speaks to me so well. I strive to be the best ally possible, but sometimes don't know what to say. Knowing that just wearing Pride clothes, items, pins, etc. makes such a difference motivates me to do it more. I may not have the best speeches to give, but I'm with everyone. Love is Love

Absolutely disgusting! This is why there's still a need for PRIDE in 2025. Apparently, 74 logged calls of Homophobic harassment doesn't constitute a Hate Crime to police. FFS!

Chums! Baby Dog here. Ron and I had an Alarming Moment, when we found PERCY in our Favourite Sofa Spot!! I couldn’t believe it! But don’t worry, I dealt with it very swiftly. Percy didn’t put up a fight like Ron does. He didn’t CLING, if you know what I mean. Hope he doesn’t learn how to do that!

For those interested in Dutch politics: Far-right leader, Geert Wilders, just pulled the plug on the government coalition that his party PVV was a part of. Because other parties are not “signing up to his party’s asylum plans” May I add that this happened as his party was slipping in polls…

This statement from Jonathan Joss's husband is heart breaking. No, headline writers, he wasn't "killed in an argument with a neighbor." He was deliberately murdered for being gay right after his dog was decapitated. Bet the murderer calls himself a "Christian." THIS is why Pride is important.

My home of Missoula just voted to establish the pride flag as an official government flag of the city, thereby circumventing the state's asinine pride flag ban. 🏳️‍🌈 Missoula is once again showing how to fight back against policies that seek to erase the LGBTQ community.
