“Hello. This is Gay Pride month, although I can’t imagine why anyone would be proud to be a homosexual.”
In 2025, the LGBTQ community finds itself navigating an increasingly hostile and complex digital landscape. Social media — once a beacon of connection, identity, and advocacy — has become a double-edged sword, simultaneously offering platforms for visibility while enabling a resurgence of hate, censorship, and systemic erasure.
Before marriage equality. Before many cisgender, heterosexual people could openly acknowledge a gay or lesbian relative or coworker.
On May 7, Chief Justice John Roberts, in a not-so-veiled swipe at Donald Trump, stressed that the U.S. Constitution’s “main innovation” was the creation of an independent judiciary.
Last week, Trump held a campaign-style rally on the campus of Macomb Community College in Warren, Michigan. To the delight of his MAGA fans, he trotted out the same personal grievances he’s been serving up since 2015.
The LGBTQ community has come a long way, but let’s be real — there’s still a lot of work to do. Every day, many of us still deal with barriers that make life harder than it should be. If you’ve ever wondered how you can help, you’re not alone — and the good news is, there’s a place for everyone to get involved.
