Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions ( #BDS) Movement : We welcome the news that the International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association (ILGA World) has removed a bid to host its next world conference in apartheid #TelAviv and suspended the membership of complicit Israeli organization Aguda.

The Board of ILGA, a federation of 1,900 #LGBTQIA+ organizations in 160 countries and territories, voted unanimously to remove the bid by Aguda from the vote at its 2024 World Conference in Cape Town, South Africa, November 11-15.

The announcement of Aguda’s bid to host the ILGA World Conference in Tel Aviv as Israel commits genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza, escalates its violent apartheid rule over all Palestinians and conducts massacres in Lebanon, provoked widescale condemnation among ILGA member organizations and board members.

Former ILGA Secretary General Phumi Mtetwa withdrew as a keynote speaker from this year’s conference over the bid, saying, “Apartheid is Apartheid, and there's no room for negotiation or tolerance, especially not from within the LGBTQI+ movement.” ILGA board members have been vocal in their opposition, condemning the proposal as “trying to blatantly #pinkwash war crimes which does not represent our movement that stands in strong solidarity against any oppression.”

ILGA further voted to suspend Aguda as it reviews its compliance with the ILGA constitution. ILGA’s review process can come to no other conclusion than to expel Aguda and all organizations complicit in Israel’s crimes.

Aguda has a history of pinkwashing Israel’s crimes, even defining the Israeli #military as “one of the more progressive organizations in Israel” in terms of LGBTQIA+ acceptance during Israel’s genocide, and promotes activities in illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian #WestBank.

ILGA apologized for the anger and harm done to its communities, recognizing “the historical experience with #apartheid and #colonialism in #SouthAfrica: even the possibility of voting on such a bid in their home country would have been at odds with the unequivocal solidarity for the Palestinian people.”

We thank the many South African organizations and all #ILGA members who immediately recognized the Aguda bid for what it was, an attempt to pinkwash Israel’s war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide, and pushed ILGA to do better.

I'm not just an ally but i have my own lgbtqia+ life (and past). As a #sexworker in my youth and such... but that's not the important part here, it's merely the background.

So i was working as a night porter in some random #hotel in #hamburg, #germany. Random hotel as in, random near the #reeperbahn. Yes exactly that one and in right that #district.

I didn't like that job for several reasons .. one of them that i wasn't made for it.. But hell... here we are.

At one night, a relatively unremarkable (female read) guest left.

I didn't recognize her at all, but was happy to receive her key and put it where it belongs as long as a guest is out of house.

I had some few duties to do, like registering lot's of bills from the bar, at least giving out some late beers or cocktails .... and clean up stuff..

The usual thing to do everyday/night and on weekends especially..

Way later, the main entrance door was at least half locked so i needed to hit a button to let 2 strangers in after they rang the bell.. (i told you, reeperbahn, you wanna lock the doors at least a few hours at night;))

First in came a somewhat eccentrically dressed person .. holding someone else, feminine read, on a leash. Clearly commanding - but not rudely - requesting a key.

I was a tiny bit startled ... but i vaguely recognized the person on the leash to be someone i've seen before.

So i didn't hesitate long and handed the key out to strange person holding the leash.

I didn't even think about that moment at all .... the night was long, sitting in midst of a red light district was strange enough .. so the friday night changed to saturday morning..

I finally was done with my shift in the morning and while already some guests where down do get breakfast... i strode into the buffet to grab my own and finally end the "workday".

As i walked along the tables on my way out, one of the (male read) guests saw me .. and gave me a heads up and thanked me for being so understanding.

I SRSLY didn't knew that he was the strange female from the night... And i don't care whatsoever..

But i felt like i didn't do something wrong.... which i like still up to today. ;) (And yes, i hated that job so much, this is srsly the only thing on the whole job i liked. ;)

La première édition du festival This is Drag annulée.

Pour la première fois, un festival dédié à l’art des drag-queens devait se tenir le week-end des 6 et 7 juillet à l’Elysée Montmartre et au Trianon, à Paris.

Finalement, cette édition de lancement a été annulée.

Dans un communiqué publié sur le site du festival, les organisateurs écrivent qu’il est «crucial de penser à la sécurité de tous et d’avoir conscience du contexte politique incertain» pour expliquer leur choix.

«Cette décision difficile a été prise après avoir pris en compte que ce week-end coïncide avec une des élections les plus importantes de ces 30 dernières années. Nous attendions cet événement avec impatience, y avons mis du temps, des moyens et tout notre cœur.»

I'm planning on attending another nearby #pride2024 celebration tomorrow afternoon. It's about an hour's drive each way, and runs from noon until 10pm. I'm hopeful that I will have the requisite #spoons in order to go the day. Last time, the crowds didn't overwhelm me, which I was pleased by. I assume that had a lot to to do with being around my tribe.

So if you don't hear from me tomorrow, it's all good. It means I'm having fun. 😊

Pride and Prejudice - by Doc Impossible

When your whole world screams at you, from the day you’re born, that you’re bad, you’re wrong, and that you should be ashamed of yourself… well, it’s hard to not believe that. The omnipresence of a belief based on social stigma makes it almost impossible to avoid picking up at least some of it. This is called self-stigma, and self-stigma is the mother-category of all sorts of really awful things, from internalized racism to internalized transphobia to any number of self-reinforcing self-hating beliefs. And self-stigma is bad. Really bad.

(99+) Pete Buttigieg is just a faggot. It's very important to me that younger queers understand this... – @vaspider on Tumblr

It's very important to me that younger queers understand this: to the people who you're trying to be more respectable for when you say things like neopronouns set the trans movement back or you're why the cishets don't accept us or including [aces/bi people with the 'wrong kind' of partners/non-binary people/kinksters/non-passing trans ppl/furries/polyam people] just hurts us, can't you wait until we get all our rights before we talk about some of yours? -- to those people?

What the Waffle House Index Says about Target Removing Pride Displays | by Piddling Piddles | Prism & Pen | May, 2024 | Medium

And just a few days ago, Target announced a more limited range of Pride merchandise based on “guest insight and consumer research,” and far fewer physical locations hosting displays and offerings. This is an explicit response to the harassment Target faced during last year’s Pride Month, where some very loud people made noise about something very few cared about prior, at least not until trans issues became more prominent.
