Today's SCOTUS decision on conversion therapy
In Authoritarianism, Dictators Come for LGBTQ People First. Here's Why: The No King's Protest underscores how many believe Trump's attacks on queer rights are putting American democracy in peril. Sam Donndelinger, Spencer Macnaughton, and Jelinda Montes, Uncloseted Media, Oct 21, 2025
"Our silly queer lives and our silly queer drama and our endless arguing about terminology, it’s fundamentally incompatible with authoritarianism because it’s fundamentally a declaration that we either defy classification entirely (my preference) or we at least get to dictate that classification amongst ourselves. The state wants to be the one who decides which of us are valid. It doesn’t want to let us hash that out ourselves in mean-spirited Instagram reels." (Our Visibility is Somehow a Threat to Power, or: on Trans Day of Visibility, Margaret Killjoy, Mar 31, 2026)
