Pride, Bears & the Fight Against LGBTQ+ Erasure 🌈

Part 1: The Rise of LGBTQ+ Erasure—Why Visibility Is Under Attack

Introduction: The Illusion of Progress

People love to say, “Haven’t LGBTQ+ people won already?”
Gay marriage is legal in many countries. Pride parades happen every year. Some corporations even splash rainbow logos on their brands every June.

But here’s the truth: visibility doesn’t mean equality.

While corporations wave rainbow flags, while politicians take photo ops with queer activists, LGBTQ+ rights are being rolled back—in laws, in schools, in workplaces, and in everyday culture. The attacks aren’t always loud or obvious. Some are disguised under “neutrality”, others under “protecting children”, and some are outright censorship, erasure, and discrimination.

It’s happening right now, right in front of us.

And if we don’t fight back, it won’t stop here.

LGBTQ+ Erasure: It’s Not About Banning—It’s About Making Us Invisible

When we talk about discrimination, people often think of blatant oppression—brutal laws, physical violence, outright criminalization. And yes, that still exists in many parts of the world.

But a far more insidious strategy is at play today: erasure.

Erasure isn’t about saying LGBTQ+ people can’t exist. It’s about making sure they don’t feel like they exist. It’s about pushing LGBTQ+ people to disappear from public spaces, from workplaces, from media, from schools.

It’s about making sure the next generation grows up thinking LGBTQ+ people are rare, unnatural, or just… not there.

This is what LGBTQ+ erasure looks like in 2025:

📌 Governments rolling back LGBTQ+ rights

Anti-LGBTQ+ laws are rising worldwide. In the US, dozens of states have passed or proposed laws limiting LGBTQ+ rights—from bans on drag performances to restrictions on trans healthcare. In Uganda, simply being gay can now be punishable by death.
Russia has criminalized LGBTQ+ “propaganda.” This means merely mentioning that LGBTQ+ people exist in a positive light can get you fined, jailed, or worse.
Hungary has banned same-sex couples from adopting children. The government also outlawed LGBTQ+ education in schools, claiming it is “harmful to children.”

📌 The attack on LGBTQ+ education & representation

Books with LGBTQ+ characters are being banned from schools and libraries.
Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill prohibits discussions of LGBTQ+ topics in classrooms. Other states are following.
Teachers are losing their jobs just for acknowledging that LGBTQ+ people exist.
Even in countries without these laws, queer education is vanishing. Schools avoid teaching about LGBTQ+ history, reinforcing the idea that queer people don’t belong in the conversation.

📌 Corporations & platforms quietly erasing LGBTQ+ visibility

Google removed Pride Month from its calendar—along with Black History Month, Disability Awareness Month, and more.
Companies that supported Pride are suddenly “neutral.” Some brands are quietly withdrawing sponsorships from Pride events, fearing backlash.
Social media platforms are shadowbanning LGBTQ+ content. Creators on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube report that their content gets less reach, flagged as “sensitive,” or outright removed.
Streaming services are canceling LGBTQ+ shows at alarming rates. And when LGBTQ+ characters exist, they’re either background filler, tragic figures, or stereotypes.

📌 The growing backlash against trans people

Trans rights are under the most direct attack right now.
Bans on trans healthcare for minors are spreading fast. Some places are even targeting adult trans people, making access to hormones and surgeries nearly impossible.
Trans athletes are being banned from competing, even at the local level.
Bathroom bans and ID restrictions are criminalizing everyday life for trans people.
The media is painting trans people as a “threat”—to women, to children, to society itself. This is a classic scapegoating strategy that history has used against marginalized groups before.

How LGBTQ+ Erasure Works—And Why It’s So Effective

Erasure doesn’t happen overnight. It follows a playbook—one that has been used time and time again against marginalized groups.

Here’s how it works:

📌 Step 1: Make LGBTQ+ people a “controversy.”

Frame LGBTQ+ existence as something “debatable” rather than a simple fact.
Call it “political”—as if LGBTQ+ people choosing to exist is somehow a political statement.

📌 Step 2: Introduce “neutrality” as a weapon.

Pretend that banning LGBTQ+ content is “just keeping things neutral.”
Act like removing LGBTQ+ history, representation, or education is just “keeping things simple”—instead of acknowledging that it’s a deliberate removal of queer voices.

📌 Step 3: Use children as an excuse.

Frame LGBTQ+ issues as “harmful to kids.”
Claim that discussions of LGBTQ+ identities are “inappropriate” while completely ignoring that straight relationships are openly discussed in children’s media.
Push the idea that LGBTQ+ people are inherently sexual or dangerous.

📌 Step 4: Make LGBTQ+ people disappear from mainstream visibility.

Limit queer media representation.
Demonize Pride events.
Encourage companies to stop LGBTQ+ support.
Make coming out seem dangerous, risky, or unprofessional.

📌 Step 5: Reinforce the idea that LGBTQ+ people are a “small minority”

If people don’t see LGBTQ+ representation, they assume LGBTQ+ people barely exist.
This makes it easier to argue that LGBTQ+ rights are a niche issue, not a major civil rights movement.

And when people don’t see LGBTQ+ representation, they forget we exist.

This is how entire generations are taught to push LGBTQ+ people into the background. This is how rights are quietly rolled back without much resistance.

What Happens If We Do Nothing?

The worst part of LGBTQ+ erasure? It works.

The more people buy into the “neutrality” lie, the easier it is to push LGBTQ+ people out of workplaces, out of schools, out of politics, out of society.

The trans community is already seeing the most extreme consequences:

More people than ever are detransitioning—not because they want to, but because they’re being forced off hormones and healthcare.
Trans suicide rates are rising.
Anti-LGBTQ+ hate crimes are increasing—in the US, the UK, and globally.
Far-right groups are openly calling for LGBTQ+ people to be eliminated.

If we don’t fight back, this doesn’t stop with LGBTQ+ people.

Book bans don’t stop at queer books.
“Protecting children” becomes an excuse to erase women’s rights, racial justice, and more.
If they succeed in silencing us, they will move to the next group.

Conclusion: Why This Fight Matters

LGBTQ+ erasure isn’t just about stopping Pride parades.

It’s about removing queer people from the world’s memory.

And we can’t let that happen.

🔹 We need to stay LOUD.
🔹 We need to support LGBTQ+ creators, businesses, and organizations.
🔹 We need to vote against anti-LGBTQ+ policies.
🔹 We need to push for LGBTQ+ education and representation.
🔹 We need to call out corporate hypocrisy.

If we don’t fight for visibility, we’ll lose it.

Part 2: Why Pride & Bear Events Are Still Acts of Resistance

Introduction: “Do We Still Need Pride?”

Every year, like clockwork, someone asks:

👉 “Why do we still need Pride?”
👉 “Why can’t LGBTQ+ people just live their lives quietly?”
👉 “Isn’t Pride just a big corporate party now?”

The answer is simple: because history has proven that if we stop being visible, we start being erased.

Pride is not just a party. It’s a protest. It’s a memory. It’s a defiance of a world that still tries to push LGBTQ+ people back into the margins.

And if you need proof, just look at what’s happening today:
🚨 LGBTQ+ education is disappearing from schools.
🚨 LGBTQ+ books are being banned.
🚨 LGBTQ+ people are being painted as “controversial.”

Pride isn’t just about celebration. It’s about fighting to exist.

Pride Started as a Riot—Not a Parade

Let’s get one thing straight (pun intended):
Pride exists because LGBTQ+ people fought back.

Before there were rainbow parades, there were riots.

📌 Stonewall (1969): When police raided the Stonewall Inn, a gay bar in New York, the queer community fought back. It was led by trans women, drag queens, and people of color. The riots lasted six days. This was the birth of the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement.

📌 White Night Riots (1979): When Harvey Milk’s murderer was given a light sentence, thousands protested. The police responded violently, targeting LGBTQ+ bars and people at random.

📌 ACT UP Protests (1980s–90s): During the AIDS crisis, LGBTQ+ activists had to literally fight for their lives. Governments ignored AIDS victims because it was seen as a “gay disease.” ACT UP shut down Wall Street, government offices, and medical institutions until the world was forced to listen.

Pride isn’t about asking for acceptance.
Pride is about demanding space in a world that tried to erase us.

Why Pride Is Still a Protest Today

People who say “Pride is unnecessary” don’t understand what’s happening right now.

Here’s why Pride is still an act of resistance:

🔹 Because LGBTQ+ rights are being rolled back worldwide.

The same people who say “Pride isn’t needed” are often the same ones pushing anti-LGBTQ+ laws.

🔹 Because queer visibility is under attack.

Schools banning LGBTQ+ books.
Social media shadowbanning LGBTQ+ creators.
Companies dropping LGBTQ+ sponsorships due to backlash.

🔹 Because trans people are being erased.

Trans healthcare is being criminalized.
Trans athletes are being banned.
Trans people are being labeled as a “threat” to society.

🔹 Because hate crimes are rising.

More LGBTQ+ people are being harassed and assaulted.
In many countries, it’s still illegal to be LGBTQ+.
Even in places where it’s legal, discrimination is alive and well.

Pride isn’t just about the past. It’s about survival today.

Bear Culture: A Different Kind of Rebellion

Not all Pride events look the same. Within LGBTQ+ culture, different subcultures have created their own forms of community, resistance, and joy.

The Bear Community—Queer, Masculine, and Defiant

The Bear community is one of the most interesting movements within LGBTQ+ culture.

🐻 What is Bear culture?

It started as a rejection of the mainstream “perfect gay” image—thin, hairless, young, gym-obsessed.
Bears celebrate bigger bodies, facial hair, and natural masculinity.
It’s a mix of queer masculinity, inclusivity, and community.

🐻 Why Bear culture is its own form of rebellion:

In a world obsessed with youth and perfection, Bear events celebrate body diversity.
In mainstream LGBTQ+ spaces that sometimes prioritize looks over depth, Bears create stronger community bonds.
It’s a rejection of toxic beauty standards—even within LGBTQ+ spaces.

Bear events aren’t just fun—they’re about creating space for people who don’t fit mainstream expectations.

Why LGBTQ+ Spaces Matter More Than Ever

Some people argue, “Why do we need LGBTQ+ events? Why not just blend into society?”

Because blending in is exactly what the world wants us to do.

LGBTQ+ events create spaces where queer people can exist without apology.

What LGBTQ+ spaces provide:
✅ Community: Finding people who understand your struggles and joys.
✅ Safety: Not worrying about discrimination or judgment.
✅ Visibility: Making it clear that we exist, and we won’t be erased.
✅ Joy: Because after centuries of oppression, we deserve happiness, too.

Without LGBTQ+ spaces, visibility disappears. And when visibility disappears, rights disappear.

The Corporate Takeover of Pride: A Blessing and a Curse

One of the biggest criticisms of modern Pride events is that they’ve become too corporate.

🌈 Rainbow capitalism is real.

Companies slap a rainbow on their logo in June and do nothing for LGBTQ+ people the rest of the year.
Some brands donate to Pride while also funding anti-LGBTQ+ politicians.
Pride parades now have corporate sponsors, turning protests into marketing events.

🌈 But corporate Pride has also helped.

Visibility in media and advertising helps normalize LGBTQ+ existence.
Corporate pressure can force governments to back off anti-LGBTQ+ laws.
Major brands pulling out of anti-LGBTQ+ markets can create economic consequences.

So, is corporate Pride good or bad? Both.

The key is to hold companies accountable.
✅ Do they support LGBTQ+ employees year-round?
✅ Do they donate to anti-LGBTQ+ politicians?
✅ Do they actually help queer communities beyond marketing?

Because at the end of the day, Pride isn’t just a party. It’s a fight.

The Next Step: Beyond Pride, Beyond Visibility

Visibility alone isn’t enough.

🚨 If LGBTQ+ people are visible but have no rights, we lose.
🚨 If LGBTQ+ people can march in a parade but can’t access healthcare, we lose.
🚨 If LGBTQ+ people are allowed to exist but not allowed to thrive, we lose.

Pride is a tool. But the real work happens beyond the parades.

What We Need to Do:

🔹 Support LGBTQ+ businesses and creators year-round—not just in June.
🔹 Vote against anti-LGBTQ+ politicians and policies.
🔹 Defend trans rights—because if they lose, the rest of the community is next.
🔹 Create and support LGBTQ+ spaces—from Bear events to drag shows to safe community gatherings.
🔹 Call out companies that use Pride for profit while harming LGBTQ+ people behind the scenes.

Because if we don’t keep pushing, we’ll get pushed back into the closet.

Conclusion: Why We Fight

Pride isn’t about being tolerated.
Pride isn’t about being accepted.
Pride is about owning our space in the world—unapologetically, visibly, and powerfully.

🏳️‍🌈 Because the moment we stop fighting, they start erasing us.
🐻 Because LGBTQ+ culture deserves to thrive—not just survive.
🚀 Because visibility isn’t just representation—it’s resistance.

Part 3: The Transphobic Agenda—Who Benefits From This?

Introduction: Why Is Everyone Suddenly “Debating” Trans People?

A decade ago, most people barely talked about trans rights.

Fast forward to today, and suddenly trans people are the center of every major culture war.

📌 Laws are being written to ban trans healthcare.
📌 Schools are banning books that mention trans people.
📌 News outlets are treating trans existence like a “controversy.”

Why?

Because transphobia isn’t random—it’s strategic.
This isn’t just about people “having opinions.” This is a political weapon.

And like every weapon, someone profits from using it.

Step 1: Make Trans People “A Debate”

📢 Step one in every oppression campaign is the same:
Make people believe it’s okay to “debate” someone’s existence.

Sound familiar?

📌 Women had to “debate” if they deserved to vote.
📌 Black people had to “debate” if segregation should end.
📌 Gay people had to “debate” if they could get married.

🚨 Now it’s trans people’s turn. 🚨

🔹 “Are trans people real?” (What does that even mean?!)
🔹 “Should kids be allowed to transition?” (Doctors already have guidelines for this.)
🔹 “Are trans women a threat to women’s spaces?” (The real threat to women is… men. Not trans women.)

📌 Notice what’s happening?
The goal isn’t to have a discussion—it’s to create a public spectacle.

Because once something is “a debate,” it becomes acceptable to attack it.

🚨 The moment a group’s rights become “up for discussion,” they’re already being taken away. 🚨

Step 2: Push “Concern” and Fear—Even When It’s Fake

Fear is the easiest way to control people.

So once trans people become “a debate,” the next step is to make people afraid of them.

📌 They say trans women are a threat to cis women.
📌 They say trans kids are being “brainwashed.”
📌 They say trans healthcare is “experimental.”

🚨 The truth?

🔹 Trans women are way more likely to be victims of violence than perpetrators.
🔹 No one is “turning kids trans.” Kids have always been trans—now they have support.
🔹 Gender-affirming healthcare is decades old. “Conversion therapy” is what’s experimental.

📌 But facts don’t matter to fear campaigns.
Because the goal isn’t truth—it’s control.

🚨 Why Aren’t Trans Men a “Threat”? The Hypocrisy of the Anti-Trans Movement

If this entire backlash was really about protecting people from “gender ideology,” why aren’t trans men ever part of the debate?

📌 If trans women are being called a “threat” to women’s spaces, why aren’t trans men a threat to men’s spaces?
📌 If trans women are being banned from sports, why aren’t trans men dominating men’s sports?
📌 If transitioning is “dangerous,” why are laws targeting trans women first?

🚨 The reason is simple: This was never about fairness, safety, or protection.
🚨 This is about controlling gender norms, punishing people who don’t conform, and keeping men on top.

📌 The Real Reason They Don’t Talk About Trans Men

The silence around trans men exposes the true motivations behind this movement:

✅ Trans men contradict their narrative. If “biological sex is everything,” how do they explain men who were assigned female at birth but are indistinguishable from cis men?

✅ Trans men challenge the patriarchy. If they admit trans men exist, they must admit that some people who were raised as girls grow up to be stronger, more “masculine,” and more successful than cis men. That’s terrifying to them.

✅ Trans men prove transitioning works. If transitioning was fake, trans men wouldn’t blend into society as effortlessly as many do. But they do. And that threatens the entire anti-trans ideology.

🚨 The anti-trans movement doesn’t attack trans men because it was never about trans people. It was about upholding gender power structures.

📌 If this was really about sports, safety, or biology, trans men would be just as much a part of the conversation.
📌 But they aren’t—because this isn’t a debate. It’s a political attack.

Step 3: Justify Laws That Strip Away Rights

Once fear has been successfully planted, the next step is to pass laws.

🔹 Ban trans kids from sports.
🔹 Ban gender-affirming care.
🔹 Ban teachers from saying “trans” in schools.

🚨 This is about erasure.
Not “protecting kids.” Not “fairness.” Just erasure.

And if you think this only affects trans people, think again.

📌 Because every time rights are taken from one group, others are next.

Step 4: Who Profits From Transphobia?

Let’s be real: No one just wakes up one day and decides to hate trans people.

🚨 This outrage is manufactured. 🚨

And like every political weapon, someone is benefiting from it.

1️⃣ Politicians—Using Hate to Win Elections

📌 Can’t fix the economy? Blame trans people.
📌 Can’t solve healthcare? Say “woke culture” is the problem.
📌 Can’t create jobs? Say you’re “saving kids from gender ideology.”

🚨 Translation: They have no solutions, so they create fake problems.

And who suffers? Trans kids. Trans adults. The LGBTQ+ community.

📌 It’s all a distraction.
📌 And it works—because fear gets votes.

2️⃣ Right-Wing Media—Making Money Off Hate

📌 Fox News talks about trans people almost every day.
📌 Far-right influencers are making millions off “anti-woke” content.
📌 Clickbait headlines spread misinformation faster than real news.

🚨 Why? Because outrage makes money.

🔹 The more you hate, the more you watch.
🔹 The more you watch, the more ads they sell.
🔹 The more ads they sell, the richer they get.

📌 This isn’t about “concern.”
It’s about profit.

3️⃣ Religious Extremists—Trying to Control Society

📌 Many anti-LGBTQ+ laws are written by religious lobbyists.
📌 Some politicians literally take orders from Christian nationalist groups.
📌 The same people banning trans rights also want to ban abortion and gay marriage.

🚨 This isn’t just about trans people.
It’s about forcing their beliefs onto everyone else.

📌 Because in their perfect world:
🚫 Women don’t have control over their own bodies.
🚫 Gay people stay in the closet.
🚫 Trans people don’t exist.

📌 And if we don’t fight back, they’ll keep taking more.

Step 5: Where Does This Lead If We Do Nothing?

History shows what happens when a group is targeted and dehumanized:

📌 They lose rights.
📌 They lose safety.
📌 And eventually… they lose the right to exist.

🚨 This is not just “culture war nonsense.”
🚨 This is how oppression works.

And if we ignore it?
📌 They won’t stop with trans people.

Because the same people attacking trans rights are already rolling back women’s rights, LGBTQ+ rights, and racial justice.

🚨 First they came for trans people.
🚨 Then they’ll come for the rest of us.

Conclusion: We Must Fight Back—NOW.

📢 Transphobia is not random—it’s a strategy.

📌 It’s designed to distract you.
📌 It’s designed to divide us.
📌 It’s designed to justify taking away rights.

🚨 But we are NOT powerless. 🚨

🔹 Call out misinformation when you see it.
🔹 Support trans people loudly and publicly.
🔹 Push back against politicians using hate for votes.
🔹 Fund LGBTQ+ organizations fighting on the frontlines.

Because this fight isn’t just about trans people.

🚨 It’s about ALL of us. 🚨

Part 4: Visibility Is Resistance—Why We Can’t Be Silent 🔥

Visibility Isn’t About Validation—It’s About Survival

People love to say,
👉 “Why do LGBTQ+ people need to be so visible?”
👉 “Why do trans people make everything about gender?”
👉 “Why does Pride even still exist?”

Let’s be clear: Visibility is not about seeking attention.

🚨 It’s about staying alive. 🚨

The push to make LGBTQ+ people invisible again is not just a cultural shift—it’s an intentional strategy.

📌 If you make a group invisible, it’s easier to take away their rights.
📌 If you make a group invisible, it’s easier to erase their history.
📌 If you make a group invisible, it’s easier to convince the world they don’t exist.

The moment people stop seeing LGBTQ+ representation in books, media, schools, workplaces, and history—
📢 is the moment it becomes easier to strip away protections and silence voices.

🛑 That is why visibility matters. 🛑

The Attack on LGBTQ+ Visibility—A Coordinated Erasure

We are watching an orchestrated attempt to shove LGBTQ+ people back into the closet.

❌ Google removed Pride Month from its calendar.
❌ Schools are banning books that mention LGBTQ+ existence.
❌ Companies are quietly dropping support after facing backlash.
❌ Politicians are criminalizing teachers for discussing LGBTQ+ history.
❌ Social media platforms are restricting LGBTQ+ content under the excuse of ‘neutrality’.

🚨 The goal? To roll back progress while pretending it’s not happening. 🚨

The less you see LGBTQ+ people in public life, the easier it is to demonize, dehumanize, and erase them.

Pride, Bear Events, and LGBTQ+ Gatherings—More Than Just Parties

👉 Some say Pride events are “no longer necessary.”
👉 Some say Bear events are “just for fun.”
👉 Some say LGBTQ+ spaces are “too political.”

WRONG.

These events are acts of defiance.

📌 Pride started as a riot, not a parade.
📌 Bear culture was born as a rejection of mainstream beauty standards.
📌 LGBTQ+ spaces exist because the world still tries to push us out of public life.

These spaces are more than just celebrations—
🚨 They are survival mechanisms. 🚨

They remind us that we exist.
They remind us that we are not alone.
They remind the world that we are not going anywhere.

Even Within LGBTQ+ Spaces—We Need to Do Better

🏳️‍⚧️ Trans and nonbinary people are STILL being pushed to the margins, even in queer spaces.

It’s not just about external oppression.
It’s also about the internal biases we need to dismantle:

📌 Why do some gay men still exclude trans men from “men’s spaces”?
📌 Why do some LGBTQ+ events quietly sideline nonbinary people?
📌 Why are certain body types, races, or expressions still seen as more “desirable” in queer culture?

We can’t demand visibility from the world while ignoring the ways we erase our own people.

🚨 If our community isn’t safe for ALL LGBTQ+ people, then what are we even fighting for? 🚨

This Isn’t About Tolerance—It’s About the Right to Exist

Visibility isn’t about asking for acceptance.
It’s not about tolerance.

📢 It’s about existence.

Pride, Bear events, LGBTQ+ representation—
They aren’t about forcing anyone to “accept” us.
They are about refusing to be erased.

🚨 The more visible we are, the harder it is for them to erase us. 🚨

Final Thought: The Fight for Visibility is The Fight for Survival

📌 History has shown what happens when groups are erased from public life.
📌 History has shown what happens when voices are silenced.
📌 History has shown that every fight for rights begins with the fight to be SEEN.

LGBTQ+ people are not going back into the shadows.
We are not going to pretend we don’t exist to make others comfortable.
We are not done fighting.

📢 Visibility is resistance.
📢 Visibility is power.
📢 Visibility is the difference between having a future… or being erased.

🚨 And we will NOT be erased. 🚨

💥 Conclusion: The Fight Is Ongoing

The LGBTQ+ fight for rights isn’t over.
Governments, corporations, and conservative media are actively trying to erase us.

📌 We need to be LOUD, VISIBLE, and UNAPOLOGETIC.

What can we do?

✅ Support LGBTQ+ businesses, media, and events.
✅ Speak up against injustice—both online and offline.
✅ Call out hypocrisy, even in our own spaces.
✅ Fight for trans and nonbinary voices to be heard.

🚨 The Betrayal Within: The Dangerous Game of Dropping the ‘TQ’ 🚨

One of the most insidious betrayals in recent LGBTQ+ history comes from within the community itself.

👉 The LGB Alliance and other exclusionist groups claim they are “protecting” lesbian, gay, and bisexual people by dropping trans and queer people from the movement.
👉 They argue that the “TQ” is a distraction and that LGB people shouldn’t be forced to fight for trans rights.
👉 Some LGB individuals are even aligning with conservatives who actively want to roll back LGBTQ+ rights as a whole.

🚨 Let’s be absolutely clear:
🚨 This is not just selfish—it’s suicidal.

The Illusion of Safety—You Are Next

Some LGB people think that if they throw trans and nonbinary people under the bus, they will be spared.
📌 They believe the right-wing movement will stop with trans people.
📌 They think homophobia is “mostly solved” and that they can live comfortably without worry.
📌 They think that by dropping the ‘TQ,’ they are protecting themselves.

🚨 They are wrong. 🚨

History proves this over and over again:

📌 In the 1970s, feminists who excluded trans women thought they were safe—until men turned against them, too.
📌 In the 1980s, mainstream society abandoned gay men during the AIDS crisis.
📌 In the 1990s, “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” forced LGB people back into the closet.

Every time an oppressed group abandons part of its own people, the oppression doesn’t stop—it just shifts targets.

🚨 Today it’s trans people. Tomorrow it’s YOU. 🚨

Why the LGB Alliance and Their Followers Are Playing With Fire

The LGB Alliance and similar exclusionist groups are not actually about protecting LGB people.

📌 They are funded by the same conservative, right-wing think tanks that actively oppose gay marriage, adoption, and LGBTQ+ rights as a whole.
📌 Their rhetoric mirrors anti-LGBTQ+ talking points from the 1980s.
📌 They are being used as a wedge to divide the LGBTQ+ community—making it easier for conservatives to attack us all.

📢 If you think they’ll stop at banning trans people from public life, think again.

The Right-Wing Playbook—A Step-by-Step Guide to Erasing All LGBTQ+ People

Step 1️⃣ Target the most vulnerable group first.
👉 Trans people are the easiest target because many people still don’t understand them.

Step 2️⃣ Convince part of the community to turn against itself.
👉 Get some LGB people to agree that “trans issues” aren’t their fight.
👉 Make it seem like LGB people will be “safe” if they abandon the trans community.

Step 3️⃣ Once trans people lose rights, move the goalpost.
👉 Bring back the argument that “being gay is unnatural.”
👉 Push for bans on drag queens, gay adoption, and same-sex education in schools.

Step 4️⃣ Erase all LGBTQ+ visibility.
👉 Ban Pride events under the excuse of “protecting children.”
👉 Defund LGBTQ+ healthcare and organizations.
👉 Criminalize “public displays” of queerness.

Step 5️⃣ Return to the days when being LGBTQ+ meant losing everything.
👉 No protections.
👉 No visibility.
👉 No community.

🚨 If you’re LGB and think you’ll be safe by throwing trans people under the bus—think again. 🚨

We Rise Together—Or We Fall Apart

📌 Stonewall was led by trans women, drag queens, and gender nonconforming people.
📌 The fight for LGB rights was NEVER separate from the fight for trans rights.
📌 Every gain we’ve made has been because the LGBTQ+ community fought TOGETHER.

💥 If the LGB Alliance had existed in the 1960s, we wouldn’t have Pride today. 💥

So, a message to those dropping the ‘TQ’:

🚨 You are helping the people who want to erase YOU next. 🚨

🚨 You are not an exception—you are their next target. 🚨

🚨 And when they come for you, who will be left to fight for your rights? 🚨

Final Thought: The LGBTQ+ Community Must Stand United

📢 We don’t win by leaving people behind.
📢 We don’t win by making our community smaller.
📢 We win by standing together—LOUDLY, VISIBLY, and UNAPOLOGETICALLY.

Because if history has taught us anything, it’s this:

🚨 United we survive. Divided we disappear. 🚨
