While many reputable companies have pulled out of Russia long ago, American language learning company Duolingo has continued its business in Russia, reveals TASS.
In April, the company was told to censor its app, so Russians can no longer see ANY reference to the existence of #LGBT persons, and instead of ending its business in Russia, the company chose to help the dystopian regime and comply, writes Latvian-based newsmedia Meduza.
I just dipped into Facebook for a while. It's still a cesspit of homophobia and hate, despite people trying to do nice things to make the world a better place. It's so sad. Mastodon people are infinitely nicer. 🏳️🌈 #lgbt#pride
Amusing,but the observation on #Badenoch are interesting…
‘It got combative from the start. Kemi seemingly furious that Husain had actually done her homework. .
Of more interest to her was a quick soundbite in an ongoing culture war. To create a wedge with Labour. Though in reality Labour and the Tories are not so far apart on trans issues these days.’
Et voici juin ! Et comme c’est le mois des fiertés #LGBT, nouveaux avatar et bannière pour cette occasion (enfin, le temps du weed-end, car je mettrai ceux de l’été après).
Me as a young lesbian.
First of all I moved from my mother country Uganda because I was facing a lot of problems. They even wanted to slaughter me like a goat because am a lesbian 🌈 and for me I was not ready to change what i am. Our president don't accept lesbians nor gays in our country Uganda. My mother and my sister they were both killed in the house by the community people coz they thought that I was inside the house. A lesbian in Uganda is taken as a satan right now. I had no one to give me any help and I decided to come In Kenya. I look for asylum. People in our country are still looking for me though I thought that I will be safe in Kenya. The situation right now is not good.
Si fanno chiamare "Noi moderati" e ogni volta appoggiano le politiche più reazionarie e repressive contro le #donne, gli #immigrati, le persone #LGBT. Però immagino che "noi ipocriti" non funzioni granché bene nelle campagne elettorali.
A #webcomic page I quickly sketched out while I get ready to go visit my dad in the hospital, inspired by some in-shells in my mentions whining out the same nonsensical arguments for why #gender based #censorship against so-called "female npls" should remain the status quo. First of all, "sksual organs" only applies to the parts actually involved in procreation; the term you're looking for is "erogenous zones," which can apply to ANY gender's npl, as well as lips, ear, knee, elbow, foot, whatever... It depends on the person, and is absolutely not limited to "people who look female." in addition to that, the argument that "female npls must remain banned from public and online because men are attracted to them" is the most asinine argument and I don't understand how (besides #misogyny) anyone can say this with a straight face?? You think straight women and gay men aren't equally as turned on by MALE chests?
It continues to amaze me how, for all our supposed progress towards #equality in other regards, especially #lgbt / #queer issues, top free #inequality remains this one US issue that continues unquestioned and unacknowledged by the vast majority of Americans, even so-called leftists. YOU ARE SAYING IF SOMEONE "LOOKS FEMALE," THEN THEY DESERVE LESS RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES THAN SOMEONE WHO "LOOKS MALE." HOW ARE YOU OKAY WITH THIS?!?
Next weekend: come hear from an integenerational panel of #AAPI trans masc activists at a panel in Oakland. I had the pleasure of meeting one of the panelists last night and he had many interesting things to say about visibility and what he felt was a deep struggle to be heard for Asian and Pacific Islander trans men, even within the trans community.
State Superintendent Ryan Walters is calling for a regulation that would allow educators to be fired for “acts that excessively promote sexuality” outside of work.
Appel à collaboration de la part des #LGBT de Mastodon : Je pense avoir fait le tour des associations LGBT, en tout cas celles de France. Si vous en connaissez d'autres qui méritent leur place dans ces catégories, donnez moi le lien en réponse à ce message. Je m'occuperai du reste.
Si vous avez quelque chose à redire sur la description d'un des sites déjà présents, faites m'en part directement ou faites le via le petit drapeau rouge à droite du lien.

Die Kampagne "Sports Free" plant heute am internationalen Tag gegen Homophobie ein Gruppen-Coming-Out im Fußball. Das Ziel: Sichtbarkeit schaffen. Noch ist aber unklar, ob auch Profi-Fußballer mitmachen werden. Von S. Zdrzalek.
