A cozy day deep in the Dinaric Alps where winter is still covering the mountain side in meters of snow. The perfect time for soup, pancakes, and homemade Ružice. (a baklava type sweet) What more could anyone want but to be gay in the forest. 🌲 🏔️ 🏳️‍🌈

5 years ago today the Balkan country of North Macedonia passed some of the region’s most comprehensive anti discrimination legislation with the introduction of the Law on Prevention and Protection from Discrimination. This law protects LGBTQ people from discrimination in housing, employment, healthcare, and services and makes all discrimination against people for their sexuality or gender a crime. While there is still a fair amount of room for further legal progress in North Macedonia on other issues, in the area of Anti Discrimination this country has definitely stepped up.

So well done to North Macedonia, and may the years ahead bring even more legal wins like marriage equality and the easing of requirements for legal gender change. 🇲🇰 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️

5 years ago today Mexico banned the highly abusive and life scarring practice known as “conversion therapy.” This form of torture is based in the pseudoscientific belief that LGBTQ people can be mentally abused into no longer being q***r. Experts have long called it out for what it is; barbaric abuse with no impact on sexuality or gender. In 2020 Mexico took the step to ban it in all forms, something that countries like the USA still have not done. Currently, the Supreme Court is in the process of siding with radical Christoid theocrats and will likely rule in the near future that all states that have banned conversion therapy must re-legalize it and allow parents and churches to torture their kids for being q***r. Yet another example of how primitive and pathetic the USA is. Mexico could teach its northern neighbor a few hundred things about human rights. Well done Mexico 🇲🇽 🏳️‍⚧️ 🏳️‍🌈 ***rmexico ***rhistory

27 years ago today South Africa decriminalized gay male relationships. From 1957 until 1998 being convicted of being a gay man meant a fine of 4000R, imprisonment for 2 years, or in some cases both. In the decades since 1998 South Africa has developed into the undisputed leader in q***r rights in the African continent and was the 5th country in the world to achieve marriage equality back in 2006! ***rhistory

Up until 1980 homosexuality was legal in the West African country of Togo. But 45 years ago today, the country made being a gay criminal offense punished with 3 years in prison and a fine of 500,000 West African Francs. This law is still in force as we speak, in 2025 being gay (or trans which is considered to be the same thing under Togolese Law) means a life of state sponsored violence. This was a decision made by Togo’s government on their own and decades after independence from France. During French rule homosexuality had never been criminalized as it was legal in France since 1791. This makes Togo’s oppressive laws even more grotesque as they openly chose to attack our community of their own accord.

7 years ago today, the US state of Maryland finally banned the barbaric and abusive practice known as conversion therapy. Those subjected to this practice are mentally and at times even physically tortured into claiming they are no longer q***r in order to escape. It is widespread in Christian circles and still takes place across much of the USA and world at large. Many children are sent to these torture camps by their own parents and are often scarred for life by what they endure. Of course conversion therapy does not work and it only causes pain and trauma.

On this day in 2018 Maryland became the 11th state to make this practice illegal, and now in 2025 a total of 24 states have similar bans in place. The fact it is not 50 highlights just how much work remains before this country can even somewhat convincingly pretend to care about human rights. ***rhistory

Just 24 years ago being gay in Minnesota could result in one year in prison and/or a $1,000 fine. Next time someone tries to tell you that the USA has always been a good country for q***r people, remind them how fu***ng stupid they sound. Countries like Albania, Kazakstan, and Bosnia all allowed people to be openly gay far before the USA. In fact, being gay was not legal in nearly have of the country until 2003 and it was not until 2023 that Minnesota officially passed a bill that repealed its archaic ban on homosexuality, as the 2001 decriminalization was based in a court ruling from Doe et al. v. Ventura et al. (2001), State District Court Judge Delila F. Pierce. The shocking fact is that Minnesota was actually on the earlier side of states repealing such laws. If you think our safety and rights in America are guaranteed, think again. Republifreaks and Magats are desperate to drag the entire country back into the theocratic dark ages.

3 years ago today Colombia further cemented its position as a global leader in LGBTQ rights and in respect for personally Liberty. Unlike increasingly backwards and primitive hellscapes like the USA, Colombia is looking towards the future, not the past. Well done to an American country that actually cares about freedom and human dignity. 🇨🇴 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ ***rrights

3 years ago today New Zealand banned conversion therapy practices with a vote of 112 to 8. The overwhelming support is incredibly encouraging and shows just why New Zealand is one of the best places on earth for LGBTQ people. Sadly, this ban was very much needed as many evangelical groups across the country still hold barbaric and hostile views that endanger q***r youth in particular. Churches like Destiney Church in Auckland preach extreme homophobia and transphobia and organize anti-q***r protests and lobby against q***r rights just as an example of the what New Zealand still contends with. Even in the best countries conversion therapy is still practiced, often behind closed door and this is why bills like this one are so important. Well done New Zealand. Keep standing up for your country’s most vulnerable. 🇳🇿 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ ***rhistory

One year ago today Greece made massive legislative strides in guaranteeing fully equal rights for its LGBTQ citizens. Marriage equality, equal adoption rights for q***r couples, and comprehensive anti discrimination laws were all passed and entered into law on this day. Greece has become one of the most legislatively advanced countries for LGBTQ people in the world due to his historic day. ***rhistory

Being tolerant does not mean tolerating inherently intolerant world views. Being accepting does not mean accepting oppression and those who propagate it. Being progressive not mean being polite to the belief systems that destroy our world or the people who support these systems. Hope this clears things up for anyone who was confused. I prefer peace but I will always go to war for our right to exist freely and safely. ✌🏻💕 ***rrights

11/02/2025

46 years ago today one of the most barbaric countries to ever exist passed a law punishing homosexuality with death. The law still exists today and is frequently implemented with LGBTQ people still being executed in mass in 2025. ***rrights
