I have family in #Florida. I have friends in Florida. My professional association's annual convention this year is in Florida.
Florida just passed a law letting doctors and healthcare facilities refuse to treat LGBTQ+ people if they have religious objections to our existing. That presumably includes life-saving emergency room care.
Other than visiting older close relatives, I probably will never go to Florida again. It joins my list of dangerously fanatical Bible Belt states to stay the hell away from.
I'm a #neurodivergent#WomanInTech working as an #SRE for Warner Bros Discovery, the creator #FediHost (the platform hosting this and other servers), admin of outdoors.lgbt :mastodon:, and the newly launched calckey.lgbt :calckey:

A #queer person coming out to you is not an invitation to negotiate. It's them telling you who and what they are. And that's not something you can change with threats or bribes. It's not something you can talk them out of. You can embrace it or lose them. Those are your options.
now here's a frequent problem I have: Do I like an outfit, or do I just like the model? I guess it's a variant of the "do I want to be her or be on her" conundrum of #lesbian brain shenanigans, so if there's anyone out there with a solution, let's hear it.
QSFer Phillip Donnelly has a new queer fairy tale collection out (ace, gay, lesbian): Fairy Tales and Shadows.
Fairy Tales and Shadows introduces a world of magic and splendor through a diverse set of characters who each star in their own fairy tale-style stories. As the book progresses the stories and characters...
