MODERATORS
Personally, I think OP's word support is warm and much needed. Probably because I don't see many people in real life (at least not around me) who would openly declare their support for LGBTQ+ rights.
Okay. But what will they then actually do to materially and politically support us? Words are meaningless if they aren't followed through with actions.
Will they tell homophobes/transphobes etc to get lost? Will they educate others? Will they actually back and support programs etc for us to get and keep more rights at work, in the countries we live in etc? Will they give us money? Will they stand by us in actual protests etc?
We need co-conspirators, not just folks that say pretty and kind words and then do nothing beyond that.
