#Juneteenth commemorates the day when 250,000 enslaved Black Americans in Galveston, TX learned of their freedom 2 years after the Emancipation Proclamation. Today, we honor that legacy of resilience in the face of oppression & the importance of standing with marginalized communities worldwide.

The expanded #GlobalGagRules are fundamentally anti-democratic. This IDAHOBIT, we’re fighting for the heart of democracy, a world where all people worldwide can live free, healthy, and dignified lives. Democracy depends on it. #IDAHOBIT2026 #EndtheGGRs

The Council for Global Equality@globalequality· May 17

Under the #GlobalGagRules, any international organization, foreign government, or organization that provides information, services, or referrals for #abortion, recognizes the health and rights of #transgender people, and promotes #DEI policies would be unable to receive U.S. foreign assistance.

The Council for Global Equality@globalequality· May 17

But these values are at risk under the Trump administration’s new #GlobalGagRules, weaponizing nearly $40 billion in foreign assistance to force compliance with an extremist, ideological agenda. So what are the Global Gag Rules? ⤵️

The Council for Global Equality@globalequality· May 17

🧵 Today is #IDAHOBIT, the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Intersexphobia & Transphobia. This year's IDAHOBIT theme is "At the heart of democracy,” reminding us of the freedoms we’re fighting for.

Yesterday, Congressional champions committed to health, equity, and human rights introduced legislation that would block the Trump Administration's expanded Global Gag Rules. We are proud to join 85+ organizations in calling this policy out for what it is: cruel and dangerous.

Such a huge win! Carl would’ve undermined the very position he was nominated for. Rori Kramer of @ajws-humanrights.bsky.social a CGE member, said: “Jeremy Carl wasn’t fit to serve. We oppose any nominee who champions hate.” www.linkedin.com/posts/global...

As we brace for the Trump Administration to drastically expand the global gag rule and weaponize foreign aid in their attempt to erase transgender, nonbinary, and intersex persons, one thing is clear: cruelty is their point. Read more: www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

This #HumanRightsDay, we are proud to endorse @markey.senate.gov's #InternationalHumanRightsDefenseAct. This bill, unequivocally, recognizes that the rights of LGBTQI+ people around the world are human rights and mandates human rights reporting on criminalization and violence. 🧵⬇️

The Council for Global Equality@globalequality· Nov 20

Reintroduced with bipartisan backing, the Global Respect Act affirms on this Transgender Day of Remembrance that no one should face violence for who they are. As Mark Bromley notes, it holds perpetrators accountable. Grateful to Reps. @mcbride.house.gov and Brian Fitzpatrick. 🌍🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 shorturl.at/UXrfL

Millions of LGBTQIA+ people and underserved communities around the world depend on these kind of life saving programs. Thanks @Rosen.senate.gov and @Kaine.senate.gov for introducing the HIV Medication Access Act to reverse harmful Trump Admin actions that’d eliminate HIV prevention efforts.

The Council for Global Equality@globalequality· Sep 10

The courageous LGBTQIA+ service members who volunteer to defend our country don’t deserve these kind of discriminatory attacks. Shame on Republicans and any Member of Congress who votes to pass any of these amendments! @equality.house.gov

The Council for Global Equality@globalequality· Sep 3

Thank you @kaine.senate.gov for reminding us that we are a nation of laws, not men. Everyone- including LGBTQIA+ people- are entitled to equal protection under the law.

The rights to free expression and peaceful assembly belong to all of us. Today, @globalequality.bsky.social & @amnesty-usa.bsky.social rallied in D.C. as Budapest Pride prepares to march tomorrow under new repressive laws. Pride is protest. Pride is resistance. Solidarity transcends borders. 🌈🇭🇺

The Council for Global Equality@globalequality· Jun 6

Last night, we celebrated pride, visibility, courage & global solidarity with our host, Irish Ambassador Geraldine Byrne Nason; Spain's trailblazing Senator, Carla Antonelli; and many dozens of LGBTQI+ advocates and allies from all around the world! 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ 🌍 🇮🇪 🇪🇸

As Under Secretary of State Uzra Zeya & LGBTQI+ Special Envoy Jessica Stern attend the Equal Rights Coalition conference in Berlin, we call on all of our partners to ensure that defending LGBTQI+ human rights remain on the global agenda after January 20th.

When trans rights are under attack, what do we do? Rise up; fight back! US v. Skrmetti is a test of how much SCOTUS will allow restrictions on healthcare — because affirming care, abortion, IVF, and birth control are all on the line. Everyone deserves access to quality healthcare, everywhere.

Two people stand in front of the scotus building holding signs that say “proud mom of trans & nonbinary kids” and “it’s healthcare, stupid!”

Two women hold signs with trans flags that read “keep legislators out of my child’s doctor’s appointments” and “fight like a mother for trans rights”

A perso ln bundled for warmth holds a sign in front of scotus that reads “if we had an equal rights amendment I wouldn’t have to be here!”

For #IntersexAwarenessWeek, we're amplifying a message from our friends at @interact.bsky.social: intersex allyship is E-A-S-Y! Educate yourself & others Adapt your language to avoid unscientific gendering of bodies Speak up to question stereotypes You can be an advocate for respect and equality

image of a short-haired white-presenting young person called Kassie with text that reads "Intersex is more common than you think. Nearly 2% of all people are intersex. If you've met 50 people, chances are you've met an intersex person."

a person in a skirt and cane called Desmond pictured with text that reads: "Intersex people deserve control over their bodies. Despite opposition from healthcare and human rights groups, surgeries to normalize children's bodies based on stereotypes continue today. They often result in complications, loss of sensation, and sterilization. Let kids grow up and decide for themselves!"

a blond person called courtney smiles besides text that reads "Intersex is not a disorder. While some intersex people may have additional health needs, there's nothing wrong with bodies looking a little different. Hormones, gonads, genitals, and eve chromosomes exist on a spectrum. Intersex is beautiful!"

a short haired person in a red shirt called justin smiles besides text that reads "Intersex describes a person's body. Intersex is usually used to describe innate physical traits, not gender. Like anyone, intersex people can have any gender and any sexual orientation. There are intersex men, women, nonbinary people, and others!"

“Demographics” is a white supremacist, anti-#LGBTQI, pro-forced birth project. Novak is a leader of this movement and Musk is a billionaire who owns a massive platform. One word: YIKES👇
