🌈 Vandaag tekende @juliahamel.bsky.social namens Volt Houten het Regenboog Stembusakkoord van COC Midden-Nederland.

Iedereen moet in Houten veilig en open zichzelf kunnen zijn β€” op school, op straat, bij de sportclub en daarbuiten. Daarom zetten wij ons in voor acceptatie, veiligheid en inclusie. πŸ’œ

It’s Hungary all over again. Step by step the first rights of queer people are taken. And worse of all, the same tactics are employed in most other countries, including my own. That’s why we keep going to prides, to stand up for our rights! πŸ’œπŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ

Legerwoordvoerder: IsraΓ«l is aanval op Gaza-Stad begonnen In dit liveblog lees je het laatste nieuws over de oorlog tussen IsraΓ«l en Hamas.

Netanyahu gaat door met zijn genocide. Ons kabinet staat erbij en kijkt ernaar.

Laat de minister morgen voor het Kamerdebat nog met nieuwe sancties komen. Onacceptabel als Veldkamp niet direct in actie komt.

Purple background with a white Volt-logo on the upper right corner. There's a rainbow from the lower left side to the higher right side. Over the rainbow (pun intended) is a photo of a crowd. A bunch of them are dressed in purple Volt shirts. There are a lot of rainbow flags in the picture. Among the people is Francesca Romana D’Antuono, our Volt Europa co-president.
Text in white above the picture says: Budapest Pride 2025. Forbidden, yet unstoppable.

Als Orban ons niet tegenhoud, doet een beetje regen dat helemaal niet. Dit weekend was ik bij de CSD in Keulen. Het is zo belangrijk voor de regenboog communities om op CSD te kunnen vieren dat we onszelf mogen zijn! Daar staat de regenoogvlag voor en daarom hoort deze ook gewoon op de Bundestag!

Anderhalf jaar zette dit kibbelkabinet ons land stil, en werd Nederland minder groen, minder eerlijk, en minder veilig.
Maar mijn belangrijkste boodschap is dit: Vandaag pakken we onze toekomst terug.

Slechts 8 dagen hadden ze nodig. Opnieuw is er een motie aangenomen in de Tweede Kamer die de rechten van transmensen schoffeert en de Eerste Kamer buiten spel zet. Stop die tijd in het aanspreken van mannen die hun handen niet thuis kunnen houden! Dat is pas β€œhet beschermen van vrouwen”!

Let je op? Er wordt gezaagd aan de poten van de democratie. We mogen van laffe conservatieven geen debat meer voeren. Transpersonen worden in frontlinie gezet, maar dit gaat iedereen aan. Kijk waar de Amerikanen zijn beland: boekverbrandingen en stervende vrouwen omdat ze geen abortus kunnen krijgen

OrbΓ‘n bans Pride in Hungary as polls show rival surging Fidesz says it’s trying to prohibit Pride to keep children safe from the so-called LGBTQ+ agenda, but opponents say the prime minister’s party is trying to create a wedge issue.

This is why we still fight for queer right! We have to support our Hungarian brothers and sisters! We celebrate pride to be ourselves and being able to love freely without judgement.
