One Nation NSW's proposed education bill is a direct attack on trans and gender diverse students, denying their existence and preventing teachers and counsellors from supporting them.

It’s ok to not be in the mood for holiday cheer, this time of year means something different to everyone. However, if the silly season has you feeling a little more down than usual, always know that there is someone you can talk to. ❤️ 🌈

This a landmark day for LGTBQ people, and we have every reason to celebrate that a conservative-majority SCOTUS has affirmed LGBTQ employment protections. Our work is not done. We have to pass the Equality Act and ensure all forms of anti-LGBTQ discrimination are banned.

Trans people are who they say they are and deserve to live their lives without being constantly questioned or told they aren’t who they say they are.

A reminder that anti-racism is an active choice and exercise. Don’t just say “BLACK LIVES MATTER” online without doing the work or having conversations. It’s times like this when we notice those around us who continue to see this as an American issue instead of a global one.

In a few hours my country, #CostaRica, will recognise equal marriage. An extraordinary moment of celebration and gratitude to the work of so many activists, and of quiet reflection of the lives of those who lived without seeing this moment. #siaceptoCR #IESOGI
