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:

  1. 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.


  1. 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.


  1. 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.


  1. Bunnies are above the law

This isn't a rule but it shows you're paying attention to the rules. good for you!

Write, call & urge others to tell congress to stop HR 22 or the SAVE act

https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-bill/8281

https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/politics/elections/2025/02/12/what-is-the-save-act/78386676007/

If passed it will prevent anyone who has ever changed their name from registering to vote.

That includes their last name if they were married or divorced. Or their first name for gender or any other reason.

It also bans mail in voting, online voter registration.

It criminalizes helping people register to vote & mandates massive voter purges disproportionately targeting women & people of color - so once their registration has been purged it could be impossible for hundreds millions of americans to get registered again.

It is urgent because- it is the republicans in congress top priority to get this voter suppression bill passed.

If you want to call your local representatives and they’re heavily Republican, it helps to lean into how this will affect married women and military personnel overseas.

It’s an unfortunate truth that if you call saying you’re worried about trans people or immigrants, they will not listen.

Explain how this puts a heavy burden on married women to pay for an expensive passport with their new name, and how military personnel fighting for our country will have their rights stripped from them.

Essentially, roleplay as a Republican constituent and think about what they might care about.

Even if they don’t care about women, they pretend to care about military personnel.
