Calling it out every single time when you see/hear it, making sure the people affected have support. It’s scary as hell. Writing to MPs. Donating to the @manaakicollective.bsky.social for those who don’t have parliamentary security to protect them. Challenging family members & the patriarchy.

"It falls upon us to be putting our bodies on the line to help protect those people who are vulnerable," Kluwe says. "I know there are a lot of members of the LGBTQ community that want to protest, but it is not safe for them. If that means that I'm the one on the dais, if I'm the one getting arrested, if that's what it takes, well, then I'm willing to do that."

Trans liberation and disability justice are one fight.
Image features torn paper strips in the colors of the Trans and Disability Pride Flags (blue, white, pink, green, yellow, red, and dark gray. A transparent black square sits over the colorful background. Light blue text reads: “Trans liberation and disability justice are one fight. We work as one community to protect our rights and freedom, including our civil rights under Section 504. We refuse to leave transgender and gender nonconforming people behind or treat their civil rights as a bargaining chip. And we reject anyone who believes justice can be achieved for disabled people at the expense of trans people.” There are also logos for American Association of People with Disabilities, Disability Culture Lab, National Disabled Legal Professionals Association, and New Disabled South.

Tomorrow! If you want to let Destiny know they're outnumbered by people who love and support our queer community, please come. We'll see you there.

Last weekend, Destiny Church escalated its attacks against the queer community. Destiny wants to drive queer New Zealanders back into the closet.

PAPA won't let this happen. We stood for queer liberation as No Pride in Prisons and we stand for it now.
A poster with an illustration of a transgender person hitting Destiny Church's logo with a hammer. Text reads: Defying Destiny: Day of Queer Power. Doctor Emmy Rākete, Chloe Swarbrick, Rev. Mua Strickson-Pua. Sunday 23rd Feb, 2pm, Albert Park Rotunda. These queers bash back.

This needs to be reposted.

Of course Chris Penk knew.
He lied because he wanted her brand of hate to come here to NZ, and because he’s a coward who hides his real, unpopular theocratic agenda from the voters.
