A Plea for Hope: Surviving as an LGBTQ Refugee

Ever since I was forced to flee my home country because of my sexuality, life has been a relentless struggle. What once was home—full of laughter, shared meals, and a sense of belonging—was turned into a place of fear and persecution. My identity, something I could never change, became a reason for rejection, violence, and the unimaginable pain of losing everything.

Today, I find myself far from home, fighting to survive. Each day is a challenge—finding enough food to eat, clean water to drink, a safe place to rest, and access to basic medication. Hunger gnaws at me constantly, but the ache of loneliness cuts even deeper.

As LGBTQ people, we are often told that we are a family, that we are each other's strength when the world turns its back. I am reaching out to that family now. My LGBTQ brothers and sisters, this is my plea: I need help.

No one should have to face hunger, homelessness, or the terror of being unsafe simply for existing. I know that many of us have endured hardships, and some may still be walking through fire. Yet, I hold onto hope that compassion, kindness, and solidarity can carry us through.

If you are reading this and you understand the pain of being rejected for who you are, know that I see you. And if you have the ability to help—whether by sharing this story, offering resources, or simply sending words of encouragement—please do.

This isn’t just about me; it’s about all of us. Our strength as a community lies in how we care for one another, even in the darkest times.

To those who are struggling like I am: Hold on. I see you. I love you. And to those who can help, thank you for being the light someone desperately needs today.

Together, we can make survival possible. Together, we can remind each other that love—our love—will always be stronger than hate.

We Need Your Support Now More Than Ever🏳️‍🌈🙏

Hello friends.

We are LGBTIQ refugees from East Africa, and we are facing unimaginable challenges in the refugee camps where we have been displaced. Every day, we struggle to survive in hostile environments filled with homophobia and persecution. Our lives are constantly at risk, and we need your help to make it through these difficult times.

Despite the challenges, we have some good news to share! The first group of LGBTIQ refugees from our community is finally heading to Canada. This is a huge milestone for us, and it wouldn't have been possible without your incredible support. We are deeply grateful to everyone who has stood by us, and we ask that you continue to support us in whatever way you can.

But we still have a long way to go. Many of us remain in these camps, living in fear and uncertainty. We are asking, kindly, for your donations to our fundraiser. Every penny counts—whether it’s for food, medication, or shelter, your contribution helps us survive another day.

Even though it's difficult to keep asking, we can’t stop. Our lives and futures depend on your generosity. Please, if you can, donate to our cause. Together, we can create a safer future for our community.

Thank you for your continued support, and let’s keep moving forward.

HELP A TRANS WOMAN NOT GO HOMELESS THIS CHRISTMAS. PLEASE REBLOG

One of my best friends, Rose, just got her 30 days notice. I heard her landlord talking to her and giving her the notice before knowing what was even happening.

She has had the worst year of her life and this should NOT happen to her. She is the sweetest person I know and needs housing. Please help her-- she needs money to cover the costs of moving, finding a place to live, and any possible rent. It's likely her parents will not support her in any way financially.

IF YOU WANT TO SUPPORT A TRANSFEMME IN NEED, PLEASE REBLOG.

Anyone who sends proof of donating will win free art, and what you get depends on how much you give. For my Les Mis followers, I will write anything but cosette ships (besides marius/cosette).

PLEASE DONATE HERE

Do you think I would look good wearing one of your shirt 🥺

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people in Kenya face significant challenges not experienced by non-LGBT residents. Sodomy is prohibited in Kenya, punishable by 21 years' imprisonment, and any sexual practices (termed "gross indecency") are a felony of the same statute, punishable by 5 years' imprisonment. On 24 May 2019, the High Court of Kenya refused an order to declare same sex marriage. The state does not recognise any relationships between persons of the same sex; same-sex marriage is banned under the Kenyan Constitution since 2010. There are no explicit protections against discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. Adoption is restricted to heterosexual couples only.

Expressions of homosexuality are illegal under Kenyan statutes and carry a maximum penalty of 14 years' imprisonment to 21 years in certain aggravating circumstances. Sex acts between women are mentioned under the gender-neutral term person and are enforced equally. Indeed, Prime Minister Raila Odinga in November 2010 called on for them to be arrested along with gay men.

LGBTQ migrants "asylum seeker and refugees" living in Kenya and continue to be at risk since the host community has stood firm on their decision to eliminate whoever practicing sodomy as stated.

The only thing my daughter needs to be taught sexually in school is boys have “cooties”. They need to not include all of you freaks!!!

I wasn't gonna reply buuuuuut....I'm in a good mood!

There's nothing wrong with age appropriate sex education!!

There's nothing bad about little Timmy or Tanya learning at 6, for example, that Jason has two daddies or Eleanor has two mommies and it's just the same as having a mommy and daddy.

I was taught that same lesson at roughly 7 and there was nothing sexual about it.

"His two daddies love each other the same way I and your daddy love each other."

Nice and simple; that was that and I went back to playing with my Lego.

What's so wrong with that?!

I have no idea why people like you sexualise gay, lesbian and trans relationships INSTANTLY as if they're seedy or dirty when they're absolutely not.

This is why we need Pride!

I know my art pieces usually don’t do very well on this account. But decided to share this here. It’s a little zine about my own queerness, the thoughts I’m mulling over rn and just like balance my hopelessness with the positive voice in my head.

[ashleymilesphil]

I don’t want to sound desperate, but I feel like so many of you don’t care or have stopped caring about the struggles of LGBTQ refugees in East Africa.

We are a group of queer refugees living in a very hostile refugee camp. Every day, we fight to survive amidst starvation, a lack of clean water, and the constant threat of disease. Some of us are battling malaria and HIV without access to proper medication. Our stories are heartbreaking, but they barely reach the world.

It has now been 4 days since we last received a donation. Many of us are running out of food, and clean drinking water is a luxury we can only dream of. Some members of our community, including children, are dangerously malnourished. We live with the reality of illnesses that could be prevented if we had access to basic healthcare.

What will it take for the world to care about us? As LGBTQ refugees, we have been silenced, abandoned, and persecuted, but we refuse to lose hope. We need your support to make it through another day.

Please, if you’re reading this, consider donating to help us. Your contributions will go directly toward food, clean water, and essential medication. Every little bit helps. If you cannot donate, reblog this post and spread the word. Your kindness and generosity can save lives.

The very fact that we are still here, holding on, is a testament to our resilience. But we can’t do this alone.

Please, share, reblog, and if you’re able, donate. Together, we can bring hope and relief to a community that has been forgotten by the world.

Three out of four OG Rescue Bots done!

Heatwave was super fun to do (I definitely went overboard with the colors… even if you can’t see some of them, it’s the thought that counts 😅

It has come to my attention that it is exceptionally hard to put flag colors on a none-white surface and be able to tell what they are, especially with the lighting I chose (I’ll adjust it later so you can actually see the colors and know what flags they represent)

Anyway, time for the list of flags!:

Demi-AroAce on the big flag and on his left shoulder

Bisexual flag on his left shoulder and right foot (this applies to him and Kade)

Pansexual flag on his helmet and left arm-tire

Apagender/Inersgender flag on his windshield, the upper party banner on his ladder, and his right leg-tire (I think… can’t exactly see it bc of the blending mode making it look white, but I think that’s what I put there, I could be wrong, I have bad memory… 😅) btw, apagender just means ‘gender apathy’ or literally not caring abt your gender and how others perceive your gender regardless of if you’re trans or not

Genderqueer flag on his right arm, right leg-tire, and the lower party banner on his ladder

Demiromantic flag on his right arm-wheel thingy (sorry no technical terms today-)

Demisexual flag on his left arm-wheel thingy

Polyamorous flag on his left shoulder (the newer version I’ve seen pop up, mainly because the design is easier to replicate due to the lack of literal Pi symbol. I was originally meant to put it on the big flag, but I was unsure and decided against it)

Finally, the Rainbows: the side of his helmet, his left leg, his right arm-tire, and his windshield

I used quite a few flags on this, huh? I love Heatwave and am mostly projecting my own, personal identities on him, but I do want to be inclusive to as much of the community as possible! I don’t want to come off as disingenuous by throwing flags around for the sake of representation, so just let me know if you find this in any way offensive or hurtful or if you want to let me know if a flag I’ve used is controversial, etc!

I’m always open to criticism, and once more, headcanons for Boulder and the others so I may add on!

Promoting the Safety and Rights of the LGBTIQ Community in Africa

Across many parts of Africa, LGBTIQ individuals continue to face significant challenges related to safety, legal rights, and societal acceptance. Despite global advancements in LGBTIQ rights, many African countries maintain laws that criminalize same-sex relationships, leaving vulnerable communities exposed to discrimination, violence, and persecution.

These challenges are compounded by widespread stigma, which often results in exclusion from education, healthcare, and employment, as well as physical violence and psychological harm. In some regions, LGBTIQ individuals live in constant fear of being targeted by hate crimes, arrested under anti-LGBTIQ laws, or subjected to harmful 'conversion therapy' practices.

However, there are individuals and organizations working relentlessly to improve the situation. Local activists, human rights defenders, and civil society organizations are making a difference by challenging discriminatory laws, raising awareness, and providing essential support to those in need. Despite the risks, these efforts are creating spaces of resistance, solidarity, and hope.

It is essential that the global community continues to advocate for the rights and safety of LGBTIQ people in Africa. Governments, international organizations, and individuals all have a role to play in dismantling harmful laws and practices while promoting respect for human dignity and equality. Through collective action, we can help ensure that everyone—regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity—can live free from fear of persecution and violence.

The path forward requires not only legal reform but also a cultural shift toward greater acceptance, inclusivity, and understanding. Let us stand together in solidarity with LGBTIQ individuals in Africa, working toward a future where every person is free to live authentically and without fear.

Therefore through donating anything even if it's little so that we can survive this horrible situation through getting access for survival necessities mostly food, and sanitary items please consider making a donation or spare anything to make aworld of difference on our lives just know that every coin is Worthy even if it's little

Yknow I think people should be able to label themselves however the fuck they want when it comes to sexuality/gender and that includes people who don’t want labels at all. If you see someone who labels themself a certain way, and your first thought is something along the lines of “They don’t fit the requirements of that label” instead of something like “Let me explore how they view themselves and how they label themselves in order to better understand why they want those labels, and how that overall fits into how they want to be perceived.”, then there’s something wrong.

These spaces don’t exist to exclude others, they don’t exist to tell someone they’re wrong, and they especially don’t exist to hurt others. Everyone has their own self identity, learn to respect it, because it isn’t that hard and it’s not gonna fuck up your life if someone goes against your preconceived ideas of how certain things should be. Acceptance doesn’t cost anything, but exclusivity and oppression does.

Let people be themselves, it really won’t hurt you.
