It is a definition built around bloodlines, legal contracts, and prescribed roles, often used to uphold patriarchy, white supremacy, and compulsory heterosexuality.

Around the world, queer and trans people are resisting violence, occupation, criminalization, and systemic repression, often at the cost of their lives. From Uganda

Pride & Father's Day Today is Father’s Day. For many, it is a day of gratitude. For others, it is a reminder of loss, rejection, or harm. Within 2SLGBTQIA+ communities, this day often carries complicated weight. Some of us were cast out by fathers in the name of faith or
