💔 Leaving doesn’t always mean safety. Post-separation abuse is real — and it’s a tactic abusers use to keep control even after a breakup. At SOQIR, we stand with survivors and advocate for systems that protect rather than harm. 💜 #SOQIR #SupportSurvivors

🌈💜 At SOQIR, we know that abuse in LGBTQ+ relationships comes with unique barriers that can deepen isolation. We’re committed to amplifying these realities, supporting survivors, and pushing for resources that truly affirm queer lives. #SOQIR #SupportSurvivors

The SOQIR team knows that abuse isn’t always obvious — it can hide behind smiles and “loving” gestures. We stand with survivors, believing them, supporting them, and working toward a world free from control and harm. 💜 #SOQIR #SupportSurvivors

For interracial queer couples of color, love thrived even under stress. But for same-race couples of color, deeper relationship satisfaction came with more stress—especially from lack of outside support. When love is strong, the silence around it feels even louder. 💞🏳️‍🌈 #QueerPOCLove #SupportMatters

Queer couples made up of two women of color felt less stigma in public—but faced the most exclusion from family. Their love was less judged on the street, but more silenced at home. Visibility doesn’t always mean acceptance. 💔🏳️‍🌈 #QueerLove #Intersectionality

Remembering Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, a pioneer of queer theory whose work transformed how we understand sexuality, gender, and desire. Her bold ideas challenged norms and opened space for radical queer thought. 📚✨ #EveKosofskySedgwick #QueerTheory #LGBTQScholarship #QueerStudies

Queer people of color in both same-race and interracial relationships face more microaggressions and discrimination than those in white or white-partnered relationships. These findings echo lived truths: LGBTQ+ rights conversations must always include race. 🏳️‍🌈✊🏾 #IntersectionalityMatters
