Ghana's Parliament just passed its anti-LGBT+ bill – rushing it through before a foreign-funded anti-rights conference. But the President ca
[Image Description: Screenshots of an instagram post by the accounts lgbtrightsghana, justright.ghana and others. The post is an image of a hand waving the flag of Ghana under text that says: "Ghana is legalising the wiping of its LGBT+ population. The world is silent." The description of the post reads:
On 29 May 2026, Ghana's Parliament passed a law criminalising LGBT+ people, their allies, their advocates, and anyone who refuses to look away. It has been two days. Not one makor government has issued a statement. Not one international institution has picked up the phone loud enough for anyone to hear.
This is what abandonment looks like. It does not always come with an announcement. Sometimes it just looks like silence on a weekend while people's lives get dismantled.
The UK is about to host Ghana's President at an investment summit in London. The EU has active partnerships with Accra. The IMF has an ongoing programme with Ghana. The African Union exists. The UN exists. And yet the loudest sound coming from any of them right now is nothing.
LGBT+ Ghanaians are not a talking point. They are people who woke up on Friday to a parliament that voted to make them criminals. They are people who are right now calculating whether they are safe, whether their landlord will use this law, whether their employer will, whether their family will. That calculation is happening in real tome while the world decides whether this is worth a statement.
The world is silent. That silence is a choice. And history will record who made it.

in happier pride news i actually found this deeply heartwarming
that's solidarity baybeeee
Further context: Durham city council (Reform UK) cut funding and support for Pride. The Durham Miner's Association and other trade unions raised enough money for Durham Pride 2026 to go ahead - a direct call back to when Lesbian and Gays Support the Miners (LGSM) raised money for mining communities when Margaret Thatcher seized union funding during the miner strikes of 1984-85.
At the 1985 Labour party meet, the motion to support LGBT rights as a party was passed due to a block vote from mining unions.
Stephen Guy, the chair of the Durham Miners’ Association, said that when it became apparent Durham Pride was under threat, he took it upon himself to “encourage the trade union movement to step up and do the right thing, and stand shoulder to shoulder with the LGBT+ community […] They not only raised funds for us, but came to our communities, uplifted our spirits when they were down, and showed their solidarity.”

i've been phasing the phrase 'google it' out of my vocabulary and going back to 'look it up'. fuck you youve lost your generic trademark privileges
we gotta get back to torrent distribution, i just watched someone eat eight grand in bandwidth charges because they ran a direct-download piracy site with local file hosting through cloudflare. torrents were invented literally for this exact reason
torrents work like this
i have a file or folder on my pc that i want to share with other people. let's call it gayshit.mp3
unfortunately gayshit.mp3 is 750mb and im not paying for discord nitro so i need another way to send it
i put it into qbittorrent and it makes a torrent file. this is essentially a very small file that points to gayshit.mp3 so other computers can find it. kinda like a treasure map
i send this tiny file to my friend, who loads it into qbittorrent. their computer takes a moment to find mine over the vast expanse of cyberspace and then (as long as my pc is running and the file is still where it should be), it gets copied from my hard drive to theirs
this is the cool part: if somebody else loads that tiny file, they can download it from both of us. if i'm offline but my friend is on, the third person can still get it. this also means that if two people have separate halves of the file, they can download the other half from each other. as long as some combination of people have the pieces between them, they can all have the whole thing.
crucially this does not require a server!!! you can just upload the file to a few people and as long as they keep it, it's still accessible. as long as somebody, somewhere is still connected, it's available forever. the only way it goes away is if everybody disconnects from it.
please learn to torrent
An expert guide to get started using torrentsTorrents are one of the most popular forms of file sharing on the internet, accounting for over
always use qbittorrent, do not use bitorrent or utorrent.
Does anyone know the way to avoid your ISP threatening you for seeding torrents... do VPNs truly work... I think a lot of people still torrent (even young ppl) but the fact that ISPs like threaten to throttle your service or otherwise punish you for seeding stresses me out to where I do it a lot less and tend to look for plain files. And I feel bad when I download without seeding lol
I'll look it up on my own but maybe its good to add to the thread
Here's a response from an anon:
hey i saw your questions in the notes of the torrenting post and id like to let you know that YES they do indeed work, even if you use a vpn that remains within the us (i don't personally recommend this though). the gist of what a vpn does is it makes your IP address put on a disguise before it goes out into the world wide web and sends/receives data. since your ISP doesn't recognize the IP address as you, and therefore someone they're liable for damages caused by said address, it doesn't care what happens under it. there's also a torrenting guide on fmhy(dot)net :) happy sailing!
