Pride Month celebrations and art share across Bluesky

cultureJun 11, 202652110,664

Creators, streamers and community groups launched Pride Month art challenges, merch sales and mutual-aid fundraisers, including a 50-plus STL miniature pack drive raising donations for Point of Pride and a Femboy Fight Club fundraiser for the Trevor Project. One organizer posted $5,956 raised toward a $10,000 goal, while SAG-AFTRA promoted a 50 percent off Pride tank flash sale through June 14. Local history and service organizations received spotlighting, from a new historical marker for drag aerialist Barbette in Round Rock, Texas to shout-outs for LYRIC youth services and the Miss Major Alexander L. Lee TGIJP Black Trans Cultural Center Justice Project. The combination of artwork, event listings, media recommendations and direct donation appeals funneled Pride Month activity into tangible support and local visibility for LGBTQ+ people this month.

At a moment when politicians in Washington are targeting trans people, rolling back rights, and trying to divide us, Pride this year is a reminder that we must always stand together and fight for one another. Happy Pride, New York City.

How about you provide gender affirming care to ALL AGES in your new clinic if you want to defend transgender New Yorkers? Dysphoria occurs at many ages and gender affirming care is suicide prevention.

love what you're saying, please reinforce it with what you're doing. there's a level of trust that's been broken with the trans community and its hard to see this as anything but words.

Love this, would love trans kids not having their healthcare taken away even more!!

Aditya Mukerjee 🦦 🏳️‍🌈23

okay but please fix the budget and uphold your promises to fund trans healthcare and the public libraries, so we can actually stand with you on this!

So let me remind you that YOU promised to look after your trans consituents and WE supported your campaign. Expand trans Healthcare and protect trans kids Mr. Mayor 🏳️‍⚧️

Rose Linden12

Dude, SERIOUSLY... Wow. Step the fuck up and help trans kids!

Ms. Trannÿ of Tÿranny 🏳️‍⚧️12

Including people who say that we can't get trans related care if under 19. As if it were cigarettes.

Except for transgender kids, right?

Stacey “National Champion” Fakename8

This is the tweet preceding your announcement that the new gender care center will serve trans people of all ages, correct? Because if not, this feels deceptive and dishonest

Why are you banning trans adults (and children) from receiving safe medical treatments??

Joelle Maslak6

This is bizarrely out-of-touch with the queer community. Do what you promised and fight for trans youth.

So, @mayor.nyc.gov are you going to protect ALL people, or just some? Let’s see you put your actions where your words are. Protect trans kids now, and reverse this insane, comply-in-advance policy!! www.erininthemorning.com/p/mamdanis-n...

Love this. Now protect trans kids

Dear @mayor.nyc.gov, We really need to know more about this denial of care to trans youth. Why do this? Is there more to know about it? Are all services barred? What would you say to this appearing to kowtow to Trump's agenda? (full disclosure: i think you're awesome, so i'm confused here is all)
