"Bisexual adults were significantly less likely to come out than their LGTQ+ peers, with 47% saying they aren't out to extended family, 38% saying they aren't out to coworkers, 35% saying they aren't out to parents, 28% saying they aren't out to siblings, and 9% saying they aren't out to friends".

How many LGBTQ+ adults are out of the closet? Almost all — with these exceptions

Around 96 percent of LGBTQ+ adults have come out as queer to at least one person.

They've spent the last month pretending flags and graffiti aren't intended to intimidate immigrants. Which is it? Is graffiti a harmless lark or an intimidation tactic? Make up your fucking minds.

A ceasefire without war criminals being held accountable is just a smokescreen for continued oppression of Palestinians.

Perhaps if the incompetent orange hate clown had stopped supplying weapons to Netanyahu on the day he took power, and ensured food, water and medicine was easily available in Gaza, he'd have secured his Nobel bauble. Instead he helped set up an "aid" charade that was basically a game for IOF snipers

I just think giving *any* US president a peace prize, particularly in the last 25 years, is an indicator of how pointless the peace prize is. If they give it to Trump they should just make it the last ever peace prize awarded and sit down.

I predicted in 2014 that JK Rowling would spend the rest of her time trying to undermine Holyrood and break devolution, and I wasn't wrong. That she's using trans people as her weapon, and playing on women's trauma, is utterly despicable. A human truly devoid of anything admirable.

Jess O'Thomson @jessothomson.co.uk · 1d

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

Pretending Covid was over, then refusing to give folk access to Covid vaccines, then forcing folk into work if they're infected, leading to folk having multiple Covid infections, which impacts longterm health, and increases the risk of Long Covid..

And this is how they deal with the aftermath. Cnts

Try not being bigots who are selling us all out to AI and that Palantir fascist who is ranting about the antichrist, and all while denying that bombing civilians and intentionally starving babies isn't a genocide.

That's your "liberalism", and it deserves to fail.

Reclaiming the England flag from racists to protect the white working class man's identity while claiming to be standing up to racists is some fuckery, tho.

I've seen him get himself into pickles and fuck up, but he usually took on board what folk were saying, which is fair enough. Not today, though, it seems.
