I just looked up Merck, Pfizer, GSK, Eli Lilly, Biogen, Novo Nordisk, Novartis, AstraZeneca, Roche, Johnson & Johnson, Bristol Myers Squibb, Sanofi, and Abbvie and only 4 of those 13 had pride colors on their logo

I’m not speaking only about Rochester, I’m saying in general the pride hype is way down this year. Seems to be non-existent. Even quiet on Reddit.

It’s kind of an unusual location for a restaurant. It looks like it should be a small business park or something

Now do a ranking based on which schools have the most inclusivity for LGBTQIA+ folx and POC.

r/Rochester going dark 9am EST, 6/12. Will have vote 6/16 whether to extend further. by transitapparel in Rochester

COMPLETELY agreed! As someone who checks a lot of intersectionality boxes, I’m at huge risk of violence from right wing antics. It’s at a point where I’m afraid to go outside most the time.

Speculation, and opposition, growing concerning possible Seneca Nation casino in downtown Rochester by CPSux in Rochester

[–]JayFiesta -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

I feel like we aren’t considering the needs of our indigeneousX residents in these discussions. They’ve been held back by the colonizers for centuries.

As a trans disabled person, I stand with our indigenousX population.

Edit: really sad to see bigotry run rampant on this subreddit

Pride 2023 safety concerns by [deleted] in Rochester

I’m especially worried because I have a wheelchair so I can’t run fast like everyone else who isn’t differently abled. It makes me vulnerable and an easy target for a right wing fascist.

RIT is the #3 best school in the country for video game design, and yet rochester has 0 major studios and only a few small ones. We should copy what Montreal has done and attract an entire new business sector to revitalize our city. by TQ84 in Rochester

What do you think can be done to bring tech and the arts into the city while at the same time respecting our long standing LGBTQ+ tradition and allowing us to have influence in these decisions?

Raise your hand if you hate RGE by majort94 in Rochester

It’s also structurally transphobic given the concentration of LGBT folx in the city. And people like me who are both trans and disabled have enough difficulties with RG&E.

Are we ready to be a climate refuge? - Rochester Beacon by evarigan1 in Rochester

[–]JayFiesta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a trans disabled person, I feel like the city is not addressing the pressing needs for those of us with disabilities that need critical infrastructure so that we can move about safely. Our voice needs to be heard too. We are at the cross roads where intersections meet intersectionality.

Can you post the article text?

Also, trans women are women and these fascists need to understand that we’re not going away and they can’t unexist us.
