The RP Group’s Post

The party of “freedom” is systemically persecuting parents and friends of 2SLGBTQIA people. Don’t come to tell me that “not all republicans are like this…” Yes they are. And the BIPOC and 2SLGBTQIA people who play their games are the most extremely dangerous lot within the party, as they offer the excuse these white Christian nationalists need to justify theor evil actions. Persecuting a nationally recognized organization excercising its right to freely assemble is unconstitutional, but who said they care a bit about the Constitution? All they care about is the erasure of people who do not comform to their very narrow ideologies. Why bring “politics” into a LinkedIn thread? Because these state actions by politicians are just blueprints of what they are planning on doing come Janaury 2025. In fact, it is all layed out in their Christofascis manifesto, Project 2025 (really, google it and understand what they want to do.) If you haven’t raised your voice to condemnd these actions, you are part of the problem. And of you are still living in denial that our minoritized communities are not really subjects of systemic persecution in the USA, there’s nothing I can do to help you understand.

The internet laws around sex, sexuality, and pleasure are actively blocking people from becoming aware that there are products, mediums, and conversations that can help them connect and heal with their bodies. They are harming viable businesses in #sextech and #femtech that are committed to #sexualwellness and holistic reintegration of human pleasure and sexuality. Sexuality is human. They are inseparable. The censorship and the shame and guilt it fosters must stop. #stopcensoringsexualhealth #sextech #sexualsexrevolution #wellness

It represents a legal strategy adopted by anti-LGBTQ+ far-right figures to challenge brands' DEI efforts. The legal attacks also align with a wider trend of conservative legal advocacy groups leveraging recent Supreme Court decisions to challenge corporate DEI practices. This poses a threat to brands aiming to connect with younger consumers who value inclusive values. Despite the backlash, Target has acknowledged the impact of the controversy on its sales and pledged changes to its Pride approach in the future. https://bit.ly/45iyIu5 #CommPRO #Target #LGBTQ

At LavRights, we are firm believers in using the law as an organizing principle to affirm our civil rights and self-determination. Unfortunately, we know all too well that our legal system itself can be a source of bias and violence towards our community. So what can we do about that? On May 1, our own Lead Attorney Ikál Nico Quintana, will be speaking to Washington's Superior Court Judges Association for a bystander education training. We're making sure our Judges in Washington know how to recognize and intervene when they see harassment, bias, microagressions, and inappropriate conduct. Because when people in power are good allies, we all benefit. ✊🏾 #trans #TransRights #LGBTQ+ #InclusionMatters #bystandereducation

It's #nationalnewsliteracy week in the US. Around the world, news and media literacy are crucial for schools to integrate into their #DEIJ work. A few ways (resources linked in the comment section) to help you think more about that critical intersection: * Research pushes us to think about how 'media framing' can dehumanize, criminalize, or erase #LGBTQ+ victims of violence (Morrison et al., 2020) *Research also reminds us to pay very close attention to whose experience and expertise is given the spotlight in stories: and that when it comes to Religion and Equality, anti-lgbtq voices have been prioritized (How Religion and LGBTQ Rights Intersect in Media Coverage, 2020) *The team at GLAAD offers reporting advice for journalists, with explanations on why this advice matters. Invite students to see how this guidance is being followed (or actively ignored) (GLAAD, 2024) How might you work on your #newsliteracy this week and beyond?

🌈 PRIDE MONTH! 🌈 Estate planning can be complex for LGBTQ+ couples, especially those not married or in civil partnerships. For those deciding to live or retire abroad, lack of recognition of same-sex marriage in some countries further complicates spousal pension rights. It’s vital to have a Will to ensure your assets are passed on as you wish. At JPS Wealth Management, we can help you to overcome some of these challenges and achieve your financial goals. Together, we can create a brighter financial future. Advice relating to Wills necessitate the referral to a service that is separate and distinct to those offered by St. James’s Place. Wills are not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. #PrideMonth #Pride #LGBTQ #BrightonPride #BrightonAndHovePride #LGBTQRights

"Amid what one critic called “an ongoing campaign to make Florida uninhabitable and unsafe for transgender individuals,” Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration quietly reversed a policy that allowed Floridians to obtain driver’s licenses that reflected their gender identity." The driver’s license change “is part of an ongoing campaign to make Florida uninhabitable and unsafe for transgender individuals,” SLC's Simone Chriss said. Chriss is among the lawyers representing plaintiffs in a federal lawsuit challenging the state’s ban on the use of puberty blockers, hormone-replacement therapy or surgery to treat transgender minors diagnosed with gender dysphoria. The law also made it more difficult for trans adults to receive medical care in Florida.
