From the article:

"My biggest hope in life is to raise the rainbow flag in Iran and shout this fact that we exist."
So said Zahra Sadiqi Hamedani, also known as Sareh, talking to BBC Persian in May 2021.

Five months later she was arrested by Iran's revolutionary guard. Now she has been tried and sentenced to death, at the age of 31, along with another woman, Elham Choubdar, 24.”

1. Imagine if the American Taliban were to take over.

To hell with the US Constitution. The LGBTQ community would have Targets on their backs.

2. Some right wing Christian group somewhere is trying to stop the funding of HIV medication.

I can't remember the details but it was in the USA and same difference.

3. I think that was the texas lawsuit that went to the supreme court re the ACA

they argued it infringed on their religious rights to fund HIV medications as it was funding the "lifestyle."

So their religious freedom means people will die.

5. Truth to power

I believe the American Taliban would make LGBTQI people wear pink triangles, put them in camps for reeducation and deny them medical benefits. We must never let them get in charge again.
Also, a red state now won’t allow a person to change their sex in their birth certificate.
