LGBTQ+ rights are under attack across the world.
This a Community dedicated to the discussion of how to protect, advocate for, and restore LGBTQ rights!
With the rampant increase of Anti LGBTQ+ hate crimes, speech and laws internationally, the LGBTQ community globally no longer feels safe.
We refuse to stand by while injustice against our community reigns.
Here we will organize, and discuss ways to make our voices heard!

Community Rules:
- No Hate Speech
No Hate Speech allowed whatsoever. This is a O tolerance policy. This goes for any form of hate and/or bigotry regarding race, religion, or LGBTQ+ identities.
While we will have discussions on political issues dealing with hate and bigotry AGAINST the LGBTQ+ community, please keep your comments respectful of ail parties.
Be better than how your enemies treat you.
- Respect the trans community
Respect the people who belong here. If you're confused what that means, here's a minor primer:
No asking to date trans people or otherwise meet up with them. No treating being transgender as a mental illness or as being lesser in any way. No arguing with trans people about their identity. No arguing with trans people about their vulnerabilities, including anything related to sports, laws, etc. This includes anything else that the mod team deems disrespectful.
- Stay on topic!
Posts should be related to the defense, advocacy, and restoration of LGBTQ+ rights.
This Community is for news regarding, as well as the discussion of, anti LGBTQ+ laws, hate crimes, and propaganda.
- Bunnies are above the law
This isn't a rule but it shows you're paying attention to the rules. good for you!

Nursing student here - this is the current teaching/standard.
"Committed" is so hard wired that even the profs default to that in lecture (then immediately correct themselves), but this change is 100% to address the accusatory connotation of "committed".
....also, veteran here: WHAT THE FUCK, VA?! The VA has a history of not really giving a shit about politics and just providing patient care when it's needed. Vet needs an abortion deep in a red state? Suck a dick, red state, this is federal property and your laws don't mean shit here.
The VA I go to used to have trans and LGBTQ+ positive signage at every entrance basically saying "You served? Fuck yeah, you get the same level of care as every other vet!" ...then Agent Orange popped his DEI executive order, and all that stuff is gone. Just overnight full embrace to shun and gutpunch.
And while yes, culpability lies primarily with the shitstain squatting in the Oval Office, the admins and doctors at the VA have full-on violated their oaths as healthcare professionals by 'just following orders' here. And now they have a body count to show for it.
This country is an absolute disgrace.
