While Queer Crescent loves a strategic act of civil disobedience, the protests by European and U.S. teams in support of LGBTQ+ communities at the #worldcup in #qatar falls short of solidarity.

Qatar is a microcosm of an increasingly homophobic and transphobic world. For context, in the US we’ve seen more than 300 anti-LGBTQ+ bills introduced in states across the country. #fifaworldcup2022 #transrightsarehumanrights #lgbtq #queermuslims #lgbtqmuslims

⚽️ Let’s kick that protest ball back, and connect with social movements and grassroots organizations like @queercrescent @alQaws @HelemLebanon @tqmp_india @TheMASGD @QShiaCollective who are working to upend islamophobia and homophobia alike.

Let our grief be another form of love for those who’ve been taken from us this year. We grieve to remember, to carry on their memory, to piece together the beautiful parts of their lives. Our family. You’ll always mean the world to us. #TransDayOfRemembrance

🧵 In Dearborn, outside forces seek to disrupt our community by stirring prejudicial undercurrents ahead of mid-term elections. Intolerance towards LGBTQ communities has swelled w attempted book banning. Our ED @shenaazism shares how this hurts LGBTQI youth. #Love4Dearborn

The Trevor Project’s 2022 national survey on LGBTQ youth reports 20% of Middle Eastern/Northern African respondents have attempted suicide. These are your kids. These are our kids. And if we want them to live and thrive, we need to protect and ensure their safety.

Shame on you @CAIRMI for siding with hate and injustice. Your actions to rally against inclusive school curriculum hurts us all, and is embarrassing. #CAIRMIaccountability
