Mosab Abu Toha was abducted and beat by the Israeli army after he was stopped at an Israeli military checkpoint while trying to leave Gaza with his family.

He was released and made this statement earlier today:

[ I'm safe but I still have severe pain in my nose and teeth after being beaten by the Israeli army last Sunday.

I gave them all my family's passports, including my American son's passport but they didn't return anything to me. Also my clothes and my children's were taken and not returned to me. No wallet, no money, no credit cards.

Everything was confiscated.

I'm in pain. ]

LGBTQ+ RIGHTS IN RUSSIA ARE BEING ERODED COMPLETELY

The ministry of justice in Russia has proposed to label "the global organization of LGBT" an extremist group. The court case is set to happen on the 30th of November. If passed, this measure will make LGBTQ+ activism near impossible. Activists could face up to 6 years in prison. Yes, 6 years for advocating for equal rights.

Despite the fact that lawmakers have no legal footing to judge "the global organization of LGBT" as an existing group, considering there is no hierarchy, no leader and no such name is used widely, this will probably be passed. And the lives of queer Russians will be in jeopardy.

I beg of you to spread this post. I know it's exhausting considering everything that's happening in the world. I know the genocide in Palestine is more pressing, I know the war in Ukraine is still happening, but please. We need to be heard. Someway. Somehow.

I'm Russian, I'm queer, I will not let this regime break me. no matter how hard it tries.

India has refused to give legal marriage rights to couples, despite saying "queer persons have an equal right and freedom to enter into a union". Instead of calling it what it is - homophobia, - they try and hide it behind tradition and arbitrary rules, stating marriage is an exclusively heterogeneous institution between a "biological man" and a "biological woman". This is not only homophobic, but transphobic as well.

Not only this, but indias government also said that "Living together as partners and having sexual relationship by same sex individuals... is not comparable with the Indian family unit concept of a husband, a wife and children", further alienating queer people from the rest of Indian society.

This is not okay, and we need to do what we can to fix it. Below, I have linked some petitions linked to queer rights in India, and it would be extremely helpful if you could sign them. Remember, one of the best ways to make change is to educate yourself on the issue!
