    Cutting to the chase:

    I propose that on Tuesday, December 3rd, 2024 (the first day that both the House and Senate are back in session), all of us who are invested in this issue and have a platform (whether it be a blog, newsletter, column, podcast, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, etc.) publish a piece with the shared title: “LGBTQ+ People Are Not Going Back.” Yes, I know, it’s a cheesy title, but it holds Democrats accountable to their own talking points and makes it clear that backsliding on LGBTQ+ rights is nonnegotiable for us.

    So… a blog post and social media campaign.

    No fucking wonder we aren’t getting anywhere. This is some tragically weak-ass protest action.

    We need to get creative and we need to get into people’s faces.

    We need to set goals and consider sidelining a few issues that we’re getting beat on.

    We need to show our allies how they can help. Hitting ‘like’ on a social media post doesn’t count.

      Agreed. Do you have any suggestions? I do also think it will be easier to mobilize people if there is a successful social media campaign.

        I have been pushing for Black Panther styled militia building. I am starting the process for that on my end, but the paperwork takes a wile

            Violence is only allowed to be perpetuated against the lgbtq community.

            It’s not about starting shit anyway, just showing that violence against the community can be returned. People are willing to stand up for themselves
