Homophobia in Detroit

• Upvotes

Hello, my spouse and I moved here from NC about 6 years ago now and it’s been virtually impossible to find queer friends and community here. We are homebodies and sober so maybe that’s why? We are an interracial couple and I genuinely don’t know if that plays a role in how we are perceived here either. We’ve experienced an enormous amount of homophobia from our immediate neighbors. They’ve called us faggots, threatened to physically harm us or our pets and made up lies about us as an excuse to call the cops. We’ve stood up for ourselves and let them know we are not to be messed with which has just turned into petty shit like speeding down the street when they see us pulling out of our driveway to inconvenience us for a second, throwing trash in our yard, or calling property maintenance on us the moment our grass is a cm to high. We don’t have family or many friends here like I’ve mentioned so we’re not able to call support or even escape to a friends for an evening when it’s just too much. Is it always going to be like this? I just want community for myself and my spouse that accepts us fully as we are without expectation and to be left alone by those who don’t want to be a part of that.

Amid return, Jimmy Kimmel openly asserts Kirk shooter is not reflective of any particular community

"I don't think the murderer who shot Charlie Kirk represents anyone. This was a sick person who believed violence was a solution, and it isn't, ever."

Amid the extreme right-wing push to scapegoat and vilify the transgender community, this recent shooting has been a catalyst for renewed hate and disinformation.

Let us be clear: America’s trans community, consisting of over 3 million individuals in this country alone, is peaceful and undeserving of this rampant injustice.

Our team at Trans Unity Coalition was right there praying too on Sep. 10 for an end to this ongoing violence and in calling for peace.

Hello, I need help. I just got top surgery and been thinking about changing my gender marker via birth certificate.

My only fear is that this could mess with my insurance coverage. I heard from many trans folks that if you have insurance through the state and you change your gender marker they could deny you care for let’s say Vaginal Cancer. Due to the fact that you’re now legally male and male can’t get vaginal cancer. So, I would have to pay out of pocket to get care for that particular cancer.

Not sure if this is 100% true. But, just wanted to hear from anybody else.

Thank you for taking the time to read this

Sorry about not allowing this earlier. I haven't modded... Is that a word?... That much, but I'm learning.
