Somos fortes e orgulhosos! 🏳️‍🌈 We have the power to make change. ✊🏽 Our Kiss-in at AIDS 2026 in Rio 🇧🇷 was a declaration of LGBTQ+ rights. We will continue fighting to ensure everyone can freely express themselves, control their bodies, and pursue pleasure. 💋 Beijos!

Criminalization is bad for human rights and bad for public health. Fear of persecution is pushing people away from essential health services. Governments must be held accountable and LGBTQ rights must be protected. Gay sex is not a crime. theguardian.com/global-devel…

From Franco-era Spain to contemporary queer life, La Bola Negra explores how stigma and repression shape generations. Queer history is about our lives, relationships, and stories that survived silence and oppression. ow.ly/6Lwc50ZY2ms

Vibrators, strap-ons, cock rings, and more, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to queer pleasure. Explore what works for you, communicate your boundaries, and remember: you have a right to explore ways to give yourself pleasure. ow.ly/MoHW50ZXfWc

35 years later, No Skin Off My Ass still feels radically queer. Made for almost nothing, outside the rules of mainstream cinema, Bruce LaBruce utilized filmmaking to tell political, provocative, and sexual stories. ow.ly/pqgZ50ZVALL

Queer sexuality is power, pleasure, and resistance. 🔥🏳️‍🌈 In a world that criminalize us, we continue to shamelessly express ourselves, challenge stigma, and fight for our rights. Our sex is political. Our existence is resistance. ✊🏾💋

Queer art is a key part of our cultural history. Harry Bush’s art gave gay men space to see desire represented openly, creating powerful visual legacy that still resonates with community and queer artists today. ow.ly/kFUH50ZQLeE
