Hi Mastodon! I'm trying to rebuild my business here because Twitter is bad now, but I need help sharing it. I'm a jeweler! I specialize in fused glass and particularly Pride designs. My work is available at https://www.nora.jewelry/
For every favorite this toot got during Pride Month, we pledged $10 to The Trevor Project. Thanks to everyone's boosting and favorites we raised $15,000!!! 🎉
“This #Pride Month, never forget that Klingons had #trans rights
No hostility, no confusion, no clumsy excuse-filled justification, just a quick self-correction and the exact same amount of love and respect before and after.
Cis allies: Be like Kor.” #StarTrek
Everyone on earth has LGBTQ2+ people in their families whether they know it or not.
You can make them feel included and safe in schools, workplaces, and society, or you can promote painfully excluded lives that often lead to high suicide rates by being ignorant.
For #Pride Month, I'd like to mention #Babylon5. The show ran from 1993 to 1998, and made a point of not making a point of gay relationships. Susan Ivanova (serving military officer) had a lesbian affair with Talia Winters, and no other character even blinked.
Later on two straight men on a secret mission found themselves using "newlyweds" as a cover story, because two men on their honeymoon would fit right in.
The message was clear: in the future being gay is 100% unremarkable. In the 90s!
After making the trans pride Klingon emblem for my profile pic, I thought I'd go ahead and do some others. Feel free to use as you wish. More to follow. #klingon#pride#startrek#lgbtqia
It seems that some parents worry about how to explain the existence of gay and trans people to their kids.
It’s trivially easy.
“Sometimes, men love men. Sometimes, women love women. Sometimes, people find out that although they have a man’s body, they’d be happier living as a woman - or the other way around.
All these people deserve to be happy and respected, just like you.”
Hey Mastodon! I'm Nora, I run a jewelry shop, and I used to rely on Twitter to find customers. I could really use your help sharing this post so I can find them here. Thanks!
In the US, #corporatePride means rainbow logos for a few weeks. In Finland, at least one company is embracing the legacy of leather culture.
After consulting with the #TomOfFinland Foundation, Finish pet store chain Musti ja Mirri has commissioned some new artwork for #HensinkiPride. I think it's both adorable and, to use a technical term, gay as fuck.
Screw the rainbow logos, this is how corporate #pride should be done!
Whenever people say "the left is always so triggered," remember that one (1) trans woman said she liked to drink Bud Light, so in response, conservatives said they would kill her.
I wrote something because I could no longer stay silent. I hope you won't either.
We hear echoes in 2023 America of the Nazi Party’s propaganda and the violence it wrought. Elie Wiesel, a Nobel Peace Prize winner and Holocaust survivor, said, “We must always take a side. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.”
