Attn. @altnps.bsky.social — In case it’s not on your radar yet... the TQ+ has been removed from LGBTQ+ on the Stonewall National Monument website. [“Before the 1960s, almost everything about living openly as a lesbian, gay, bisexual (LGB) person was illegal.“] www.nps.gov/ston/index.htm

"Meta enshrining a statement that LGBTQ people are 'abnormal' and 'mentally ill,' and intentionally employing overtly bigoted anti-LGBTQ dog whistle language...in a hate speech policy—is unprecedented." From @jenniolsonsf.bsky.social

My dad was one of the state poultry specialists for the Minnesota Livestock Sanitary Board. When we were kids, he used to tell us about these kinds of terrifying possibilities - and scare the shit out of us. Be safe out there. And follow this account: 👇

Wow! Inspiring news: The site of the 1966 Compton’s Cafeteria riot has been inducted into the National Register of Historic Places (don’t tell the White House). Huge congrats to Susan Stryker - the historian who unearthed and elevated this important event in trans history. FYI: @altnps.bsky.social

Excellent: Holding the Trump administration accountable for dangerous anti-trans rhetoric and executive orders. Shameful: Omitting the role that the Times and the Times Opinion page played in creating this deeply hostile, anti-trans moment in America.

It is just endlessly baffling- how grown adults can behave like this in broad daylight. It’s so cruel and hateful but also heartbreaking to see any person (like Rep Miller) be so determined to dehumanize trans people, that THEY have lost their basic humanity. #StayStrong

Grateful to all the folks working on this. In addition to the sheer numbers, this disclaimer note on the tracker says it all: “Due to being absolutely overwhelmed by anti-lgbtq bills, updating the pro-lgbtq bills to this list tends to lag behind and is not complete” 🫂🙏

Yet more heinousness in this week’s relentless campaign of terror against transgender Americans. Sending love and strength to everyone.

In my years of reporting on LGBTQ news this was by far the hardest. But we are still here. You made it to Friday. You lived. Good job. That wasn’t easy. Through a diversity of tactics, we will continue to live. Rest up, drink water, find community, so that we can all be here tomorrow too.
