Don't worry guys, I have happier projects on the way, but I gotta warn you that I have one more bittersweet one coming up in the next week or so. --- ♥ --- Anyways this project was finished today because in my community, a display of pride flags were stolen, broken, shredded and stomped into the mud. I'd rather not post sadder stuff during Pride month, but I'm just genuinely heartbroken that people would do this and I'm not in the mood to make a happy project. This is the second year in a row this happened btw I live in the most liberal area of my state, yet things like this still happen and it makes me sad. --- ♥ --- Sometimes I wonder how many anti-LGBTQ+ incidents were never reported or dealt with, due to a lack of support. --- ♥ --- Anyways, LGBTQ+ people are a vulnerable group and deserve your support. Support can include: ♥ Using someone's correct labels ♥ Donating to LGBTQ+ charities ♥ Lifting up LGBTQ+ people ♥ Educating yourself on LGBTQ+ issues ♥ Calling out anti-LGBTQ+ behaviors ♥ Treating LGBTQ+ people as you would straight/allo/cis people. --- ♥ --- Check out my project that highlights how respecting and supporting can sometimes overlap! ♥ "Are you really 'respecting'" https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/601072226/ Check out some of the double standards I noticed between the treatment of LGBTQ+ people and the treatment of allo cishet people! ♥ "The Double Standards: why don't we get treated the same as allo cishets?" https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/662331081/ --- ♥ --- Credits: All quotes taken from news sites that I will not link to protect the victim’s privacy and to prevent the searching up of possibly triggering topics.
