I’m not trans but the hostile legal and social environment facing trans people mirrors that experienced by me and other gay men in the 1980s. I struggle to understand those who lived through that era who don’t feel the parallels and the need now to stand with trans people. #TransRightsAreHumanRights

More from Matthew Hodson

Lies and distortions, devised or amplified by an unchecked media, the hostility of the police, Church and faith leaders, ignorance, fear of AIDS and a Government keen to gain political capital by pandering to homophobia led to Section 28. It reflected society in the 80s. It was a vote winner. 7/16

You can’t teach kids to be gay. You can teach kids that it’s ok to be gay. Seeing LGBTQ+ people represented (on TV, in classrooms, in every walk of life) can make self acceptance easier and faster. More and happier LGBTQ people aren’t a problem - we’re a blessing! 16/16

Section 28 was passed on this day in 1988. It didn’t come out of nowhere. It came from a society where 75% of people thought homosexuality was wrong. It came from a society that believed ignorance was better for children than any knowledge of lesbian or gay lives. 🧵 1/16

Every time I see Margaret Thatcher trending I think of the misery she inflicted on generations of #LGBTQ+ children through the cruelty of Section 28. You can’t teach children to be gay. You can teach them that it’s ok if they are.

It’s much harder to hate or fear what you know. Simply by existing visibly, as a gay man or as someone living with HIV or as a trans person, we challenge stigma and hatred.

This Administration continues to engage in its war with Iran without a clear strategy or definition of victory. That’s why I helped introduce a War Powers Resolution to permanently end this President’s war of choice.

What’s a “coywolf?” The modern history of canids in North America is a mess — extirpation, hybridization, introgression — sometimes called “canid soup.” Here’s some nuance about eastern coyotes, which are one part of the story! #wildlife #animal #animals #science #stem #nature #wolf #coyote

Against the backdrop of Putin's imperial plans regarding #Transnistria, #Ukrainian Odessa is preparing for a circular defense, as the Russian route to #Moldova runs this direction. Multi-kilometer anti-tank ditches, bunkers, barbed wire & "dragon's teeth", are already being set up around #Odessa.

It’s even better in the longer version, you can see him say “WTF was that?!” right before looking at the referee and smacking him. That’s what happens when you run Dobeš with Zuke’s around... 😂 I seriously can’t stop watching it. #GoHabsGo

Q: If Trump is in such perfect health, why does he keep going back for checkups? Oz: I think he likes the results. He does really well. He aces the test every single day. Really? If that is actually the case and he's in "perfect" health, why does he need checkups every single day?
