what i’d like to see more of in discussions on “gay rights”

fromonesurvivortoanother:

  • the right to not be sexually abused based on your sexuality or gender identity
  • the right to not be denied housing or employment based on sexuality or gender identity (still legal in a ton of states btw)
  • the right to not be made homeless when you come out
  • the right to be equally represented (i.e., not by cis-male white gay men)
  • the right to health care that doesnt deny you coverage based on “pre-existing conditions”
  • the right to donate blood and not be denied based on your sexuality
