#sexualorientation — Public Fediverse posts

New demonym just mutated: gender/queer.
As in genderqueer or ... Sexqueer?
I gotta be honest, I still adore the simpliciry of MOGAI, tbqh.
Speakable, categorised, and (not completely, unfortunately, but mostly) inclusive.
I know queer isn't something every member of mistreatment person interactions is comfortable with.
There probably isn't "a" solution.
I do like gender/queer for most cis hets and MOGAI for in-group comms.

Headline: The Trump Administration Has Made 150 Million American Workers Newly Vulnerable to Workplace Discrimination

Source: Center for American Progress

From the article: "Essentially, all employees and job seekers, a total of approximately 153 million Americans, benefit from the protections the EEOC provides. The Equal Pay Act—a law requiring equal pay for equal work that the EEOC enforces—covers virtually all employers, while other laws enforced by the EEOC apply to all but the smallest employers. Whether they work in the private sector or for the government, practically all employees and those applying for jobs are protected by the EEOC against illegal employer actions" (Annotations removed for clarity)

#Actor '#AbhayDeol is #queer', say #fans as #actor #discusses #sexuality and says 'embraced all #experiences'.

He refuses to strictly define his #sexuality. He doesn't want to be #labelled as he has embraced all kinds of experiences in his life. Has he #comeout? Is he #a queer or just a #narcissist? #Fans are #speculating.

The #gays are asking: How do you #comeout to a #straight #guy?

#Comingout as #queer is no easy process, and it’s different from person to person. Coming out to #family is one thing. Coming out to #friends is another. Coming out to #straightmen? An #Olympic level feat.

#Women’s #panel seeks #action against ‘#conversiontherapy #training’ targeting #LGBTQIA+ #community

A #Tirupati-based #organisation had #advertised a training program on treating 47 ‘#psychosomaticdisorders’, and listed #homosexuality, lesbianism, #transvestism among them.

Conversion therapies are #pseudoscientificpractices, targeting the LGBTIQA+ into changing their #SexualOrientation, #GenderIdentity and #GenderExpression.
