Openly gay Catholic journalist Robert Mickens offers an interesting take on Pope Francis' permission to priests to bless same-sex couples:

It's Francis lancing the boil of homophobia in the Catholic clergy and hierarchy, Mickens proposes. It's less about same-sex couples than it is about the large numbers of priests and bishops who are gay — but often closeted and in many cases self-loathing.

This is a serious danger warning, to me.

"Public officials in Tennessee can now refuse to grant a marriage license to anyone at their own discretion, for any reason."

Tennessee Republicans just quietly overturned gay marriage

Hi Fedi Family,
In 2008 Californians voted for Prop8 that defined marriage as the union of one man and one woman in the California constitution. While this was defeated in courts this draconian Prop8 language is still in the California constitution. Justice tHomas and the right wing SCOTUS is openly hinting at destroying precedent and trampling rights. If they overturned Obergefell - the Prop8 language in the California Constitution will act as a “trigger law”, raining havoc on queer families like mine across California.
Please spread the word to vote “YES” to repeal Prop8 (2008) from the California constitution in Nov 2024. Talk to your friends, family and colleagues about it.

Boosts appreciated.

this is for all the cynics on the left. all those toxic idealists who go "if it's not perfect i'm not playing"

you have to fight for everything in this world. never sit on the sidelines

the enshittification of our world is not automatic. unless enough of you sit things out

the first #gay Senator in #Nebraska just gave a speech so powerful, the #conservatives who cosponsored anti-#transgender legislation abandoned it

fight. show up. win.

AND #VOTE

I love the vibes of these posters for a couple reasons:

1) We should support each other's rights

2) I think it's important to find happiness in other people's happiness. I think it aligns your mental state in a good direction (for yourself and others) and I enjoy people talking about their happiness and excitement so much
