Commet: User @lizzielizzard_ has accused a member of BTS of wearing a Confederate T-shirt. This is not only defamatory information but also untrue. This user has a following of 22k and is using their platform to post misinformation. We urge you to take swift action before the members of BTS are affected by these baseless accusations.
"Rapper, Rylo Rodriguez, is using both Jungkook and Jimin's voices as the intro for his song āExcuse meā ( ft. NoCap) without their prior approval / properly crediting them."

Jikook & Queer People: Put Your Money Where Your Mouth is
HAPPY PRIDE!!!.
Festa & Pride, is my freaking jam. I'm so happy around this time of year. Homophobes, Bigenderphobics and racists can't burst my bubble of joy!.
For Pride month, I send an Email to my friends and family that includes organizations around the world to support this entire month, with the intention that a 1 time donation can hopefully turn into a monthly donation!. But any donation, no matter how small makes a difference!.
Please consider these amazing organizations
1. The Astrea Foundation for Justice
Astraea Lesbian Foundation For Justice

2. The Sylvia Rivera Law Project
SRLP (Sylvia Rivera Law Project)
(small note: I made a post about Sylvia and Marsha P. Johnson)
This is the first post of an upcoming series meant to highlight the BIPOC queer activist that have shaped the world into what it is today. W
This is an organization that is close to my heart, and it's an organization that I recommend to everyone and anyone.
As stated on their website: SRLP is a collective organization founded on the understanding that gender self-determination is inextricably intertwined with racial, social and economic justice. Therefore, we seek to increase the political voice and visibility of low-income people and people of color who are transgender, intersex, or gender non-conforming. SRLP works to improve access to respectful and affirming social, health, and legal services for our communities. We believe that in order to create meaningful political participation and leadership, we must have access to basic means of survival and safety from violence.
3. Outright International
Global Programs
OI is an organization dedicated on working with partners around the globe to strengthen advocacy of LGBTIQ+ human rights movements, and protect LGBTIQ+ people who have been violated of their human rights. OI advocates for inclusions and equality.
A statement from their website: Ensuring human rights for LGBTIQ people everywhere through three strategic program areas
We are resilient.Ā Together with our families and through compassion, a greater Navajo Nation will come to be.Ā
5. SAGE: National Resources Center - LGBTQ+ Aging
The National Resource Center on LGBTQ+ Aging is the country's first and only technical assistance resource center aimed at improving the qua
In an article released by healthjournalism.com it was reported that a study led by Fredriksen-Goldsen and her team surveyed 2,560 lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender adults aged 50-95 across the United States. They found participants had greater rates of disability, depression and loneliness and increased likeliness to smoke and binge-drink compared with heterosexuals of similar ages
As stated on their website: For 40-plus years, SAGE has worked tirelessly on behalf of LGBTQ+ older people. Building off the momentum of the Stonewall uprising and the emerging LGBTQ+ civil rights movement, a group of activists came together to ensure that LGBTQ+ older people could age with respect and dignity. SAGE formed a network of support for LGBTQ+ elders thatās still going and growing today. SAGE is more than just an organization. Itās a movement of loving, caring activists dedicated to providing advocacy, services, and support to older members of the LGBTQ+ community. LGBTQ+ elders foughtā and still fightāfor our rights. And we will never stop fighting for theirs.
"WE REFUSE TO BE INVISIBLE".
Change in the world and safe spaces for queer people don't just happen, it takes a community; every single person is important and can contribute in our fight for basic human rights!.
If we want to make the world a safe place for people we love and admire, so that they feel like they can live authentically and freely, then we must fight for it.
Every week I'll posting 5 new organizations + advocacy groups that go beyond mainstream so that we can all learn and support the queer community.
Fuck bigotry, fuck prejudice, fuck homophobia
this isn't about a ship, this is about actual queer people, and queer lives. Lets us be the change we want to see in the world.
LOVE WILL ALWAYS WIN!
Please share, any bit of help makes a difference!.
let's all work together to make sure BTS gets the respect they deserve!
Record breaking milestones for Grammy nominations
PART 1.Ā
JULY 7th - AUG 21st: ARIRANG GRAMMY SUBMISSIONS BEINGĀ
(Over 300 experts will be divided and will be voting on who will move forward)
What can we do?
- We need to make A LOT of noise throughout all social platforms.
- THIS IS CRUCIAL bcs it allows us to make sure that BTS is voted into categories that matter (record of the year, song of the year, album of the year)Ā
From what I read, if a BTS song is submitted into the Asian Pop category; let's use 'Normal' the Korean version as an example - that same song cannot be submitted for other categories like, Song Of The Year, even if its 'Normal' the original version. Does that make sense? if not let me know and I'll try to explain it in a better way.
PART 2.
OCT 12th - OCT 22nd: FIRST ROUND OF VOTING BEGINS
(after all of the submissions have been categorized)
What can we do?Ā
- We need to make noise once again, because this is the part where ARTISTS get to vote on the nominees who will advance into the next step.Ā
PART 3Ā
DEC 10th - JAN 27th: WINNERS WILL BE CHOSEN
What can we do?
- We need to go all out - we need to be louder - we need to make sure that BTSās impact is acknowledged more than ever
WHAT WILL I BE DOING TO HELP US?
1. Iāll be making a community space so that we can all actively work on adding updates about BTS accomplishments - I really need accounts to participate so weāre not missing anything / having things fall through the cracksĀ
2. I'll be making Photoshop templates for us to use individually - this will allow all of us to create flyers so that we can spread them everywhere. This will not only be helpful for me, so I don't continuously stress myself out by creating new templates to add different record-breaking milestones, but it'll also allow people to showcase the diversity of their accolades. So, it's not just generic accomplishments. We need to be loud (example of flyers is included below, I did not make the flyers, just so we're clear)
3. Reminder posts - Iāll be queuing posts a week in advance and a day in advance to remind people of our goals. And finally, making a post on the first day of each round so we can move forward

Record breaking milestones for Grammy nominations

I really, really need help from others to participate on this, I don't have the bandwidth to continue to do it all on my own.
and if you need help you ask, so I'm asking, please help me, but more importantly, help BTS!
The fact that I have not felt a single ounce of anger since my š» passed is very telling
Same love @koookminkapuso and that holly acc are the reason I make disclaimers, theyāre the reason Iām very fucking afraid to make long-form posts because I worry the same thing will happen again
That people will steal my words and my posts
And grammatically change it, thus continuing the long-standing racial undertones towards non native English speakers
I refuse to stay silent as someone tries to rebrand themselves especially after the distress theyāve caused me
Coming here and fooling others as this peaceful, loving army while youāre actively causing harm and not taking accountability is something I WILL NOT let slide
I donāt want people to be fooled by a wolf in sheepās clothing
The āi wish I would have known so and so did thisā
Is very much present
Either yāall acknowledge what Iāve been saying this whole time, about the shit Iāve experienced here
Or we continue to ignore it
And before someone accuses me of bullying. When I first addressed this whole thing with same love I was very formal and asked them to take down the post they stole from me
In that time, they ignored my request, continued to make posts even though I and several others were asking them to kindly take it down
And it wasnāt until I threatened them with plagiarism that they finally apologized, and you can even see the comments on that post rn where same love was silent while I was getting harassed under their post
@koookminkapuso
āIt wasnāt plagiarism.ā You stole my post and CHANGED parts of it to make it grammatically correct. Do you think changing the grammar makes you better than me? If anything, it just shows the blatant knowledge you had about what you were doing and WHY you were doing it. Don't think for a second that I didnāt know your intentions and motive
And letās talk about how you were in the comments DEFENDING YOURSELF and not asking people to UNDERSTAND WHY I WAS RIGHTFULLY UPSET
You don't get to come here and start anew. Not on my fucking watch, this is my fucking space
You can try to fool other people, but Iām not stupid, and we both know what you did and why it was wrong
You donāt get to play the victim in this scenario; you were and are not and will never be the offended party
And the thing weāre going to address here is the fact that I know I make grammatical mistakes, I just donāt give a fuck bcs the English language is stupid AF
And intentionally changing my posts for grammatical sake is LINGUISTIC IMPERIALISM, and the fact that I write the way I write and I change it depending on how Iām feeling that day, IS MY CHOICE.
And if we deepen it, even if I didnāt change it, the fact that this happens to people whose second language is English is a very common racial theme
Youāre fucking lucky I saw right through you, that would have gone completely unaddressed
