!!!!!
-via PinkNews, June
//On Friday (9 June), the Nordic country joined Canada, Brazil, Ecuador, Spain, Germany, France, Malta and New Zealand in banning harmful conversion practices.
Not a single representative voted against the bill, proposed by Viðreisnar parliamentary party chair and Reform Party MP Hanna Katrín Friðriksson, with 53 voting ‘yes’ and three abstaining.
Friðriksson has previously said that conversion practices are “based purely on ignorance and reactionary ideas” and have “no place in our society”, according to the Reykjavik Grapevine.
According to Ugla Stefanía Kristjönudóttir Jónsdóttir, a writer and expert on LGBTQ+ issues in Iceland, the overwhelming majority voting for the ban in the Althingi (Icelandic parliament) showed that the legislation was widely supported, even after transphobic attempts to kill it.//

Try these three effective strategies for countering racism and hate in public spaces
The last year has been filled with travel across Washington and the nation. As a thirty-year veteran educator, I provide training to teachers, nonprofit boards, government agencies, and businesses on issues related to racial equity and belonging. During the past twelve months, I have been called into more schools than ever before to help communities find healing after a very public conflict or…

People are allowed to decide who they can and cannot give their services to, you fucking freak (coming FROM a gay person) you are all so unbelievably PATHETIC for acting like wedding designers refusing to do shit for us becos of our sexuality is some massive hit to lgbt rights. You all don’t seem to understand we had it much worse, and that this bill is allowing people behavioural freedom. We should be grateful for it, it’s not right to force people to do things they don’t want to with their own businesses.
It's not an object to me, because I would never deliberately hire a Christian to design anything if my queer heathen ass were getting married.
And that isn't the point, because what I know is this: legally this is purely another step towards removing nondiscrimination protections entirely.
Do you really think that they're going to stop at websites and wedding cakes?
It's about removing legal protections against discrimination in all areas for the entire LGBTQ+ community. This court case was never about a wedding website, the designer in question was never hired to design a website for a gay couple--this case was entirely about attacking and weaking a nondiscrimination law.
I hope you get your wish.
And when your Christian landlord evicts you, when you are fired from your job for posting a wedding picture of yourself and your partner on social media, when your children are denied opportunities for having same gender married parents, when your family is refused service in restaurants, when doctors refuse to treat you, when the pharmacy refuses to fill your prescriptions, and when the EMTs let you die on the street because saving your gay ass is an affront to Jesus...
I hope you remember to feel grateful.

posting on here really is just being expected to say ‘sorry for being desensitized by facing daily, real life homophobia and the constant threat of being killed for being a faggot-tranny to where i forgot to take into consideration that youre gonna be a whiny bitch about me making a light-hearted joke about a fictional character on my own blog’ while not feeling sorry at all.
#i was gonna leave this alone but this has been in my drafts for SO long and every day its proven more true#like sorry but me having a loaded gun held to my head and being quizzed on if im a faggot and deserve to be killed because#‘god will understand’ by my parents (whom i see every day) and having to be convincing enough that im ‘not’#and living where the state laws are actively harmful and doesn't have any nondiscrimination laws (from medical to housing to banking to#employment to just hate crining us) and where i still have that same level of fear inside my own home because of my parents#isnt the same experience as a lgbt person making a limp wrist joke or making a joke at a fictional story that you personally dont like#if youre sensitive to that its fine whatever every LGBT person is different and has a different experience and shit.#block if it makes you that uncomfortable or scroll and move on#but giving other queers grief and anger because of how THEY joke or talk?? get a fucking life and stop bitching about mine lmao

Inexplicably just got two letters from Aetna asking for additional information for prescription drug prior authorization in the state of Florida. Couple of things wrong with that: - the prior authorizations have already been approved - I don’t live in the state of Florida and never have - the information it asks for is information I cannot provide, only my doctor can, and she’s named on the paperwork so they definitely know how to send her the letters - I’m not in Florida???? Why Florida?????
#the person behind the yarn#medical mention#tj is in insurance hell#honestly this one's not that hellish it's just bemusing#absolutely miraculous that filling out surveys saying Aetna's practice of denying coverage of life-saving preventative care could kill peopl#and that I would be actively advocating against Aetna in every arena available to me#ended up with them suddenly changing their minds and covering my inhalers#miracle. Truly as all their employee emails to me say they 'have my best interest at heart'#the second page in the letters that was titled Notice of Nondiscrimination made me laugh out loud#like. Sure. Sure Aetna.#just in case: everything here is based on my personal experiences dealing with Aetna#and is not intended as a factual representation of the company. It's me venting about dealing with health insurance#I do not know what their literal company policies are#only what I have perceived of the company's actions and what policies could lead to those choices

having our local house district flip red sucks for a variety of reasons but im now faced with writing resistbot letters about the latest anti trans federal nonsense (HR734 - still in committee, doubtful to go anywhere and would be vetoed anyway but want to stomp on it hard) and like. trying to remember how i write letters to republican lawmakers. before i would be like hey i’m your trans constituent i know i can count on you to support human rights for people like me. now i’m like. this is unnecessary big government intrusion into the private lives of young women (which. is true. but me? using the phrase ‘big government’? mirrorverse shit) and everyone should get the opportunity to play youth sports because they are <checks notes> an all american tradition that instills values. hoorah?!
#this is still in committee and hopefully will not get out#i mean it's hard to imagine this getting through the senate and even if it did biden will doubtless veto it#this is a model of them going to their hateful constituents 'hey this is what we'd do with a r presidency and r senate'#but like. fucking starve it of oxygen before it gets anywhere close.#and remind these lawmakers HEY there are loud pro-trans voices in your community to#us politics for ts#transphobia for ts#cant wait to find out what nonsense is going to come up in the state legislative session.... yippeeeeeeeee#already got a school bathroom ban ... god forbid trans people use the toilet! let people sue if cis people encounter such horrors!#but our gov would veto that thank fuck#HANG ON THERE'S ALSO A GOOD NONDISCRIMINATION BILL#excuse me gotta get back on resistbot#tell my state legislative folks to support that#anyway. resistbot is your friend. get at the actual lawmakers who have the power over actual hateful laws. please.#(and the power over actual good laws yall!)

Referendum 101 kaput: Right wing effort to overturn new law protecting trans youth fails
A right wing effort to force a statewide vote on a new Washington State law supporting youth and young adults seeking protected health care services has failed, which means that the law can go into effect tomorrow as scheduled. Dawn Land and other right wing activists and operatives had hoped to gather enough signatures to put Senate Bill 5599 up for a vote this November. They needed to collect…

“What Xichen is trying to say,” Nie Mingjue jumps in when Lan Wangji doesn’t reply, “is that it’s best to do a background check on him. Make him sign a couple of NDA’s. Maybe casually mention that you have a bodyguard at public events, just in case he tries anything.”
“All reasonable precautions,” Lan Xichen agrees. “I know it hurts, Wangji. But it’s easy to get burned.”
There is a brief pause, wherein all three of them stop and remember Meng Yao.
Then, Nie Mingjue says, “And don’t buy him a fucking car, what the fuck.”
“There comes a time at every kidnapping when one must consider one’s past actions and ask oneself, Is this in any way my fault?” Lan Xichen adds.
this lan xichen has me in tears
#lwj asking for romantic advice if he likes a poor guy and lxc going 'flashbacks' dont do it wangji#this is probably unfair to lxc. I like to think his principles of nondiscrimination extend beyond jgy#tho actually I dont think we have much evidence that his respect for jgy was just nc he liked him and not bc of any deeper principles#oh I fucked that tag upm you know what I mean. maybe he was just biased towards jgy bc he had a crush#ficblogging

New York University led by troubling example when the school shared an updated code of student conduct last week. Ostensibly aimed at curtailing bigotry, the new language instead shuts down dissent by threatening to silence criticism of Zionism on campus. Students who speak out against Zionism — an ethno-nationalist political ideology founded in the late 19th century — will now risk violating the school’s nondiscrimination policies.[...]
Tucked into a document purportedly offering clarification on school policy, the new NYU guidelines introduce an unprecedented expansion of protected classes to include “Zionists” and “Zionism.” Referring to the university’s nondiscrimination and anti-harassment policy, known as NDAH, the updated conduct guide says, “Speech and conduct that would violate the NDAH if targeting Jewish or Israeli people can also violate the NDAH if directed toward Zionists.”[...]
“Using code words, like ‘Zionist,’” the guide says, “does not eliminate the possibility that your speech violates the NDAH policy.”[...]
The entire premise of the guidance — that “Zionist” must be functioning as a “code word — is a flaw egregious enough to reject the entire document outright.
The language here is of utmost importance. The text does not say that “Zionist” can and has been used by antisemites as a code word, which is no doubt true. Instead, it takes it as a given that, when used critically, “Zionist” simply is a code word.[...]
According to NYU’s guidance, then, Zionist and Zionism are either antisemitic dog whistles when invoked critically or a protected category akin to a race, ethnicity, or religious identity. Ethically committed and politically informed anti-Zionism — including the beliefs of many anti-Zionist Jews like myself who reject the conflation of our identity and heritage with an ethnostate project — is foreclosed, and the long history of Jewish anti-Zionism, which has existed as long as Zionism itself, is all but erased.[...]
“For many Jewish people, Zionism is a part of their Jewish identity,” the NYU guidance says. And this is of course true. That does not, however, make Zionism an essential part of Jewish identity.
There are conservative Christians for whom the damnation of homosexuality is a key part of their Christian faith too, but Republican lawfare to see homophobic positions enshrined as protected religious expression have been rightly and consistently condemned by the liberal mainstream.
“The new guidance sets a dangerous precedent by extending Title VI protections to anyone who adheres to Zionism, a nationalist political ideology, and troublingly equates criticism of Zionism with discrimination against Jewish people,” NYU’s Faculty for Justice in Palestine said in a statement in response to the updated conduct guide.[...]
“Furthermore, the new guidance implies that any nationalist political ideology (Hindu nationalism, Christian nationalism, etc.) that is integrated into some members of that group’s understanding of their own racial or ethnic identity should be entitled to civil rights protections.”
