hayden christensen is living the dream. dude got to be in star wars, wear a custom-made darth vader suit, learn choreographed lightsaber battles, and kiss natalie portman. owns a farm now and never leaves it. that’s literally the dream. what a legend.

Some time ago Poland, in IGLA European ranking announced Poland as the most homophobic country in EU and honestly, I was angry, but basically just shook my head and mostly ignored the situation. But recently the situation for LGBT+ people in my country has become extremely dangerous.

Because we have a presidential campaign candidates go from place to place to meet the voters. And in one of those places our current president, Andrzej Duda, said “LGBT people aren’t people. They’re ideology”.

With that one sentence he showed he doesn’t see us as human beings but as lesser people and if he wins second election, he might create laws strictly against us. He will not make our life safer and easier and, in my opinion, he is willing to give consent to aggression against the whole LGBT+ community. He doesn’t care about the suicide rate among young children who were so harassed at school, because of their sexuality that the only way out for them was killing themselves. He will not pity the parents of those kids. He will not help and change laws and educate people. To him we’re not human beings. We’re ideology. And ideologies must be crushed.

Not only that, but he signed a Family Charter that basically says the “normal” family is the one with father and a mother and that denies non-heterosexual couples adoption, marriages and above all denies sexual education that is right now extremely needed at school. He said there’s no place for any of that in Polish society.

To make matters worse, during a teleconference one of the politicians of a ruling party “Law & Justice” (oh, the irony) said LGBT people aren’t people. He was immediately cut off, but he claims what he meant was that we, LGBT+ people have some secret ideology and will want to enforce it on everyone in Poland and he doesn’t believe in any other sexuality but heterosexuality.

Yesterday, another politician of the same party said “It’s time to protect people against depravation, filth and unmoral behavior. We need to protect ourselves against LGBT ideology and should stop listening to those idiotic things about human rights or equality. These people are not equal to normal people.”

And for the first time in my life I felt fear. For the first time in my life I am really, really afraid.

I’m afraid that I will get beaten, raped or killed because I’m a lesbian. I’m afraid that no one will help me. I’m afraid that if I go to the police they will just laugh at me and won’t treat me as a human being. I’m afraid that there will be laws created against us so harsh we won’t be able to coexist. I’m afraid my parents will be ostracized. I’m afraid I will die and Polish government will let it happen.

And honestly, I have no idea what to do but to ask for signal boost to make others know how bad things are getting and that we need support and help from others.

Don’t leave us alone.

Don't leave us alone

i have no words...

LET'S CANCEL POLISH GOVERNMENT

i beg you to replace this country in anything else cause the situation is getting worse and worse

Message from parents of LGBT people to politics from ruling party and polish president after their extremely homofobic words. This video will break your heart.

Lublin today.

We are not an ideology.

PLEASE SPREAD IT: ,,HOMOSEXUALITY IS NOT PEOPLE, IT’S A IDEOLOGY. ‘’ POLISH MP SAID. AGAINST DEHUMANIZATION OF LGBT PEOPLE

On Friday, MP of the Agreement and deputy minister of the group and Regional Council Jacek Żalek remotely participated in the “Facts after Facts” program. During it, he was asked to comment on the words of the staff chief of president Andrzej Duda, Joachim Brudzinski, who wrote in social media that “Poland without LGBT is the most beautiful.”  

- Would you sign under this statement? - Katarzyna Kolenda-Zaleska, who was leading the program, asked. 

- I understand that it’s about ideology - replied Żalek. 

When the TVN24 journalist decided that “they are all homosexual people, transsexual people”, he replied: “These are not people. This is ideology. " 

 - How are these not people? Listen what are you saying - asked Kolenda-Zaleska. 

- No, they are not people. This is ideology - repeated the MP. Suddenly the TVN24 journalist covered the interview. - No, sir, there are limits, including in this program. I would like to thank you very much for our conversation, because if you say that LGBT people are not people … - she said. 

Polish President Andrzej Duda has called the promotion of LGBT rights an "ideology” more destructive than communism, in a campaign speech.

He is an ally of the ruling nationalist Law and Justice Party (PiS), and is seeking re-election on 28 June.

He said his parents’ generation had struggled against communist ideology for 40 years and “they didn’t fight for this so that a new ideology would appear that is even more destructive”.

Critics say PiS has an anti-gay agenda.

The LGBT rights group ILGA-Europe says Poland is the worst-performing country in the EU in terms of LGBT rights, in an index published last month.

PiS won a majority in parliament with a conservative-nationalist agenda strong on Catholic values, including support for traditional families and opposition to gay marriage.

Speaking to supporters in Brzeg, southwestern Poland, Mr Duda said “parents are responsible for the sexual education of their children,” and “it is not possible for any institutions to interfere in the way parents raise their children”.

One of his chief rivals, liberal Warsaw Mayor Rafal Trzaskowski of the centre-right Civic Platform (PO) party, has been criticised by religious conservatives for allowing discussion of LGBT issues in Warsaw schools. The election is likely to go to a second-round runoff vote.

In his speech in Brzeg, Mr Duda said “this is not why my parents’ generation for 40 years struggled to expel communist ideology from schools, so that it could not be foisted on children, could not brainwash and indoctrinate them…

"They did not fight so that we would now accept that another ideology, even more destructive to man, would come along, an ideology which under the clichés of respect and tolerance hides deep intolerance”.

Rival candidate Robert Biedron of the Left party - an LGBT rights activist - called Mr Duda’s Family Charter “a radical document which divides Polish society, introducing standards reminiscent of the most brutal… times of Polish and European history”.

,,Today is the best time to take a stand. After what President Andrzej Duda said (about LGBT - ed.), All people of good will, anyone who wants to be in solidarity with this minority, which is not called people today, should take a clear position in this matter: how equality is equality. If we are democrats, we are on the side of human rights and citizens’ rights, nobody should excuse in these matters.’’ - said Biedroń.

I’m thinking about getting a hamster and naming it after #star wars. Sound off in the replies if this is a bad idea.

When I first heard the term CIS being used on Tumblr, I didn’t know it meant being comfortable with your assigned gender. I thought this whole site was talking about the Confederacy of Independent Systems. As in

the Sith’s droid army, and when everyone was saying “CIS scum” they were calling people out on being Sith

Every so often this post dies out and then spikes my activity again

if you're going to listen to any celebrity right now, listen to john boyega. hes spoken out since the start, since way before this. hes had to deal with people telling him that him speaking out isnt right and 'kids look up to him so less swearing'. he was breaking at the protests. and the fact his career could be ruined for speaking from his own experience and basic white celebs get praise for posting a picture isn't right and if you need anything to make you realise that the treatment of black people is different from anyone else, this should be it.
