A drag show in front of symbols of the ROC, which imposed a patriarchal heteronormative Chinese identity on Taiwan for decades... this is dissertation material
Taiwan President Tsai @ingwen was treated to a live drag show at the presidential office in a meeting with the country’s most famous drag queen, Nymphia Wind.

Good morning and happy Wednesday to everyone who knows the election wasn’t stolen. The Supreme Court, on the other hand …

This Supreme Court: Six right wing politicians, masquerading as judges, gleefully imposing their politics on the country by fiat, and unremorsefully living lives of leisure subsidized by billionaires with interests before the court. An outrageous scam.

So, let me get this straight: yesterday the Supreme Court ruled colleges CAN’T discriminate on the basis of race but today they ruled that a web designer CAN discriminate against the LGBTQ+ community? Sorry, but this Court is so freaking messed up.

Very moving to witness the palpable hope for equal rights in #Thailand at #BangkokPride2023, with major politicians joining #pride, including PM frontrunner @Pita_MFP. Amazing to see actress #LalanaKongtoranin in action helping a heat victim - she’s also a medical doctor!
