I sure do love being lesbian 🏳️‍🌈

Erika Hilton (trans congress woman in brazil)'s speech against a bill to ban same-sex marriage, 2023, where she condemns the use of religious rethoric to defend bigotry.

one week after BA I got the big snip. emotions are wild right now, and I feel very fortunate and blessed

After Brazilian President Lula defeated right-wing extremist Flávio Bolsonaro, who has openly expressed homophobic and transphobic views, he celebrated alongside several of his allies, including trans congresswoman Erika Hilton. Brazil also has a few other trans folks in congress. Thought it would be nice to share :)

It was loud. He wasn’t talking to me, but I was obviously close enough to hear - I’d made a couple of comments into their conversation already. They were talking about something he’d just purchased and he said he didn’t have enough money to get both, but he wished he’d gotten the one that had the bi flag colors. “Why?” says his friend. “Well, because I am” he says. “Oh, I didn’t know that.” And then they continue their conversation about shopping.
I sat there in shock trying SO hard not to react. I know my son. It doesn’t matter if it’s a stubbed toe, an A on a test or a declaration of his sexuality - “it’s not a big deal” is his motto in life. Plus, he didn’t say it to me. I wasn’t invited to comment.
But wow I wanted to. When I was his age even the most supportive of friends or family didn’t just move on with the conversation. Support always seemed to mean hugs and “I still love you” announcements. To hear this so casually accepted and set aside as less important to the conversation than what else they had purchased was just…. Wow.
Besides, he’s heard my rant about feeling the need to say I still love you despite your sexuality - as if unconditional love suddenly could have had conditions. Now, I want to acknowledge that I heard him - but he hasn’t brought it up again and I’m not sure he wants me to. I don’t want to stay quiet if he’s waiting for me to say something…. I don’t want to say something if he’s hoping I’ll stay quiet. So, I bought the item he didn’t have enough money for… in the colors of the bi flag. I figure I will just let him know that I heard him say he wanted it… because he is… and let it go at that. He’ll know we can talk, but we don’t have to if he doesn’t want to…. He’ll know I heard him. I saw him. I accept him.
I’m so damned in awe of him and his generation. Thanks for listening folks. I could talk to the people I normally would without sharing what he said. It’s his to tell, if he wants to tell it. But it was so big that I had to share with someone!

so, I am occasionally able to take a sticker from a free sticker bag from someone I know and Idk if she supports LGBTQA+ but I found this in the bag and had to take it 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️

I recently added a Genderfluid flag at my computer work station at my job. Feels complete now. 😊

The two flags I normally would prefer to have are either the progress pride flag or rainbow pride flag, and then the trans flag. But feeling specially connected to genderfluidity, I think its cool.

Hinson also praised a federal judge’s ruling in Kentucky that blocked Democratic President Joe Biden’s effort to expand protections for transgender students and make other changes to the rules governing sex discrimination in schools by expanding the definition of Title IX to prohibit discrimination based on gender identity.

I don’t know if this is the right place to post this, but I hope it is.

I got a wife and two kids. A while back, I started feeling like crap and wasn’t satisfied with my life. It got bad enough that my doctor told me I had blood pressure problems and put me on blood pressure medication. I don’t know if that had anything to do with what happened next.

That’s when everything started going downhill. I began feeling attracted to men, more than before. One early morning at work, I met a security guard. We got to talking, then he kissed me, and next thing you know, we were in a car fooling around and giving each other head. Unfortunately, my boss’s daughter’s boyfriend saw the whole thing.

I started going to gay bars, dressing up in leather gear. One night, while I was dancing, I ran into a friend of my coworkers who just happened to be there.

I was terrified that sooner or later somebody was gonna out me. I work for a waste disposal company, so my coworkers are pretty old-school and narrow-minded, if you catch my drift.
Not knowing what the hell else to do, I told my wife I had to leave town for a long work assignment in another city.

So I basically moved out there. While I was in the new city, the people who’d seen me started spreading the word, and now everybody knows. My coworkers took it real bad, and so did my boss. If I go back, I could lose my job.
My brother-in-law took it even worse. He talked to my wife and told her I wasn’t gonna get away with it if I ever came back.

Now, I’ve met a guy here, a firefighter. I don’t know if I’m in love with him or what, but I spend the night at his place pretty often.

So what would you guys do in my position? Start a new life here and leave my family and job behind, or go back and face my brother-in-law and my coworkers?
