The way people have started to speak about infidelity as a crime akin to physical or sexual abuse is wild. You can’t send the whole of France to jail.

This unacknowledged World AIDS day, I'm remembering my two beloved uncles who died of AIDS in the 90s: Steven Schultz (seen in the photo) and Don Reid. They lived on the upper west side of Manhattan, in a stretch of apartments along the West Side Highway and I vividly remember their small apartment.

What might not occur to you upon reading this headline is that, in other words, ICE is targeting gay men of color

Every queer press org should be picking up this story

State and city laws prohibit local police departments from turning people over to ICE. That restriction does not apply to the federally run Amtrak Police Department.

It's so annoying how many of you lost your minds whining about Sabrina Carpenter "degrading herself for the male gaze" or whatever when it was always very obvious from the start that she was for the girls and the gays

When I say restricting social media for kids (and, simultaneously, adults) is the fascist playbook I’m not using a metaphor. What I mean is that they wrote a playbook and this is in it

Imagine if NYTimes journalists were being routinely massacred by a foreign state and competing media outlets responded by explaining that the Times is a mouthpiece for imperialism and propaganda arm of the US and Israeli governments such that murdering its workers was defensible.

This is all lies, and I don’t know what else I can add: Human beings are being dehumanized as “disorder” to be managed, punished, or disappeared.

This is an executive order that lays the groundwork for sending homeless people and people with mental illness to concentration camps to be "civilly committed." It was never going to stop with immigrants.

This is horrifying beyond words.

Unbelievably dystopian.
Incontrovertible evidence, now, of *police* investigating families supporting their kids with gender affirming healthcare in the UK. For trying to do the best for your child, following best practice in most of the world, here you get a visit from the police.

Thank you, Wes Streeting.

The UK is laying the groundwork for broad censorship push online using "violent porn" the panic issue to get it passed. What started as calls for age-verification or consent has quickly moved to criminalize non-normative sex.
