Long before the World Cup draw, Seattle designated June 26 as its "Pride Match." By sheer coincidence, Egypt and Iran—two nations where homosexuality is criminalized—were drawn to play. Despite their official objections, Seattle organizers never considered canceling it. (1/2) #Seattle #WorldCup26

Huge win for local music! San Diego’s Songwriter Sanctuary has been awarded the Larry T. Baza Arts & Culture Award. Led by a queer woman, this incredible nonprofit ensures LGBTQ+ artists are paid fairly and never have to navigate the industry alone. 🎶🏳️‍🌈 #GoodNews #SDPride #QueerArt #LGBTQArt

Happy Juneteenth! I ran across this SPLC article from June 2022, by Preston D. Mitchum highlighting the intersection of Pride Month and Juneteenth. It's a really great reminder that we can’t silo identities, and a worthwhile read for everyone today #Black #LGBTQ #Queer #Quare #Juneteenth

It was a dark and stormy night, and there was a light over at the Royal Court Theatre… June 19th is the anniversary of the stage premier of The Rocky Horror Show (which evolved into The Rocky Horror Picture Show). Here is a collection of references and AI images for the fans! (1/4) #TRHPS

Maybe Pride shouldn't depend so much on corporate sponsorship. Maybe it should go back to relying on community support. “We've seen corporate sponsorships shrink a little bit, which has been very telling on who our actual allies were not..." — Josh Meek (1/3) #OhioPride #PrideMonth

“A new memorandum issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) calls for changes to care provided to LGBTQ+ military veterans, including ceasing all diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs and disbanding "gender ideology" initiatives.” #Veterans #Healthcare #LGBTQ

There is something Freudian going on with the GOP's obsession with James Talarico (And this is just another example of how AI is being abused and used for the wrong reasons.) #AIEthics #Deepfakes #GenerativeAI #TechReform #DigitalDeception #AIForWrongReasons #TexasPolitics

F is for Finis! 🏳️‍🌈✨ I’ve spent the last 11 days diving into the LGBTQ+ alphabet to build an educational primer for everyone. Today, I'm wrapping it all up with a master list of resources and some final reflections on what I learned. Check out the archive on Substack. #LGBTQ #Queer #Pride2026

LGBTQ alphabet: 2S is for Two-Spirit While the term Two-Spirit or 2S is relatively new, Two-Spirit people have always been part of North American Indigenous culture. They are part of the Queer community and deserve acceptance and respect everywhere. (1/4) #TwoSpirit #Pride2026 #Intersectionality

Day 9 of the LGBTQ alphabet series: Non-binary people have been with us forever, just under different names. The concept of people who don’t fit cultural norms of male/female has been around since the dawn of culture. #Enby #NonBinary #LGBTQ (1/3)

25 years of Xbox! Microsoft just dropped the trailer for the Xbox Series X25 25th Anniversary Edition and that translucent green is pure nostalgia. Can't wait to see the full specs. Who's picking one up? 🎮 #Xbox #Xbox25 #Gaming youtu.be/1-INYU6FLgI

Day 7 of the LGBTQ alphabet series: A is for Asexual! Asexual refers to people who experience little or no sexual attraction. Contrary to what some might think, aces aren't broken—they are simply who they are. 🖤🩶🤍💜 #LGBTQAlphabet #Asexuality #AcePride #AsexualAwareness #VisibleAce

Day 6 of the LGBTQ alphabet series: I is for Intersex. There is a lot of confusion about the term Intersex and Intersex people. Let's break down what it actually means in today's post. (1/4) #LGBTQAlphabet #IntersexAwareness

Day 5 of the LGBTQ alphabet series: The letter Q. 🧵 Digging into Q, I found two distinct terms: Queer and Quare. Queer is the general reclaimed term many use. Quare is a term from Black LGBTQ+ scholarship addressing the intersection of race and sexuality. (1/2)

Maybe people should pay attention to the warning signs instead of the dollar signs. AI can benefit society, but without proper guardrails, we may lose control and ourselves. This old geek thinks that when AI developers say we should pause, that's a red flag. #AI #AIDevelopment #AIEthics

Huge win for healthcare privacy! After a 3-year push, Hawai’i officially has a shield law to explicitly protect providers & patients of gender-affirming care. This safeguards bodily autonomy & stops out-of-state attacks on lawful care. #TransRights #Hawaii #ShieldLaw Tagging: @erininthemorning.com

Today is day four of the LGBTQ alphabet series for the letter “T”. Transgender people make up roughly 1% of the population both here in the US and globally. #Transgender #TransPride

GOP governors rebranding June is nothing but a desperate political stunt to erase LGBTQ+ people. But flags and proclamations don't define us. Our community's history is built on pure resilience, joy, and standing proud against hate. We aren't going anywhere. #Pride #LGBTQ #Resilience

Day 3 of Pride month and our Pride Alphabet series! Today’s cap celebrates Bisexuals—a group this Bi Sasquatch has a personal “bias” for! 😉 Bisexuals & Multisexual groups make up over 50% of our community, yet we tend to be the silent majority.
