We are saddened to be stepping away from this platform at this time, and hope to be able to return at a later date. Either way, be sure to connect with us on our other social media platforms listed in this image.
ALT We first joined twitter in February of 2012. While no form of social media is as safe as we would hope for LGBTQ+ people, the recent policy changes involving speech to and about transgender, nonbinary, and gender nonconforming people are preventing us from effectively communicating with our members. We are saddened to be stepping away from this platform at this time, and hope to be able to return at a later date. Either way, be sure to connect with us on our other social media platforms @lgbtbarny.
