Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #discriminatory, aggregated by home.social.

  1. “Significant #discrimination persists. An estimated 2 billion people live in contexts where #consensual #samesexrelations are #criminalised, with at least 42 countries specifically criminalising consensual same-sex relations between #women. #Transgender #people, and especially #transgender #women, are #criminalised under these and other #discriminatory #laws.”

  2. #HarveyMilk strongly advocated for this #strategy, famously urging people to #comeout to everyone they knew. He believed that #personalconnections would reduce support #for #discriminatory #measures like #Proposition6.

    Ultimately, the #visibility and #personalstories of #LGBTQ+ people played a #crucial role in the campaign. #Proposition6 was #defeated at the #polls, marking a significant #victory for the #LGBTQ+ #rights #movement and setting a #precedent for future #activism.
