What is the #Future of #America’s #Gayborhoods?
For years, the #LGBTQ+ #community has carved out #safehavens in the form of gayborhoods or #gayvillages.
These areas, populated and frequented by the LGBTQ+ community, serve as places where we can #BeOurselves, #living #freely among #friends and #lovers, while watching out for one another.
But in 2024, do we still need them?

Good #Palestinians in good countries like #US also have to deal with the additional #trauma of reconciling their #demonization of the #West with feeling of #GUILT about #safeHavens that they "#enjoy" in the same US & West.
Their FIRST thought is that while their #Brothers & #Sisters in #MiddleEast suffer, the Palestinian #diaspora "enjoy every little thing" in the US.
Their "SECOND thought is [Palestinians in #Gaza] DON'T get to enjoy this" ➡️ https://mastodon.social/@rameshgupta/111460087100168191

How should #Palestinians reconcile their #DEMONIZATION of #US and #West with the feeling of #GUILT about #safeHavens that Palestinian #diaspora "#enjoy" in the same US and West?
While Palestinians in #MiddleEast suffer and blame #US, their #Brothers and #Sisters "enjoy every little thing" in the US.

#Uncertainty over the #Nevada #Republican #governor's position on bills that would expand #coverage for #genderaffirming #Healthcare
If he ultimately approves them, the state will join other #Democratic states in carving out #safehavens amid a flurry of #conservative efforts to #ban or #limit #access to #transgender #healthcare.

#Kenya #safehavens #atrisk with #draconian #antigay #bill. #Refugees from #Uganda may have to #flee again.
The latest anti-LGBTQ+ law proposed in Africa would expel #gay #refugees and #asylumseekers, and #punish #offenses deemed "#immoral" or aiding such conduct.
