Queer/queer ally twitter is arguably one of the best parts of twitter. Whether it’s declarations of self love, witty takes on everyday life, enlightening social commentary, or political analysis, this section of twitter is a gift that keeps giving.

People who are like “IDGAF, I’m going to keep referring to Bobrisky as he”, okay o, Balógun Ìyànà Gender. But first, please tell us: where will you see Bobrisky to call her ‘he’? Inside her bae’s helicopter? 😂😂😂

You can’t actualize your full potentials as a person if your life is criminalized.
You’re not human before gay.
You’re a gay and human. They both coexist. If you put human before gay, it totally means ‘homosexuality’ can be acquired.
So yes! Gay lives are in danger in Nigeria.

Glad Halle Berry dropped out of playing a trans man, but of note, her apology in no way touches on the fact she repeatedly referred to the character with "She/Her" pronouns, and called it "a woman's story".
Her apology doesn't show an understanding about why that was wrong. https://t.co/95DeV3kxHW

Being queer in Nigeria is stressful man. Everything is triggering. Every fucking thing. You can't interact with ppl, watch movies, comedies, music videos, peruse social media, etc w/o being triggered.
Sometimes we even forget how triggering everything is.
