Good charities/LGBTQ+ orgs to donate to?
Recently found out I can use Microsoft rewards points to donate to non-profits, looked around and ended up donating them to Lamda Legal for their work, but I was wondering if anyone here knew any other good reputable LGBTQ+ nonprofits or charities? I realized I didn't actually know that many when I was thinking of which one to give to

Reflecting on past mistakes
cross-posted from: https://lemm.ee/post/49671489
Recently today I realized that I am in fact a trans girl. I made a post about it in !asktransgender@lemmy.blahaj.zone and after that I was reflecting a lot on my past, the mistakes I've made, and I realize I've made a lot of them. I've said horrible things about and to LGBTQ people, and just awful shit in general when I was younger. I was a young and stupid kid and I would say horrible things online, things I heard from other people or read online. Things I now regret and feel horrible about. I know I can never excuse any of them just because I was younger but I do deeply regret those mistakes, and I am deeply sorry I said any of those things. I know that isn't an excuse but I hope people can find it in them to forgive me for my awful mistakes and accept me as a new person.

Oppenheimer actor Nick Dumont has come out as transmasculine and non-binary and has shared their new pronouns.
The star, who portrayed Jackie Oppenheimer – Oppenheimer’s sister-in-law – in the film, revealed their identity via their Instagram bio, which now includes “they/them” pronouns.
“They identity as a trans masculine non-binary person,” a representative for the actor told TMZ. Despite the star updating their information on the social site with their affirmed name, their Instagram handle, however, still includes their deadname.
Debate rages over police marching at Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras ahead of vote
NSW Premier Chris Minns has slammed a potential ban on NSW Police marching at the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras despite LGBTQ+ community consultation showing a majority do not want officers to take part.

Pride in Protest has consistently campaigned for the exclusion of NSW Police from the parade citing a culture of homophobia within the force and an adversarial attitude towards unsolved gay hate deaths.
Today's historic Supreme Court case on bodily autonomy should be garnering the same attention as Roe v. Wade.
United States v. Skrmetti is not distinct from these fights over reproductive rights — it’s their next phase. Before 2020, there was not a single law that banned access to gender-affirming care for trans people. Since then, nearly 36 states have attempted to restrict trans rights. This is not a coincidence. Recognizing the conservative turn of the courts, the Alliance Defending Freedom has drafted and promoted bills that restrict access to gender-affirming care. These model bills have been introduced in various state legislatures, contributing to a coordinated and successful strategy to limit transgender healthcare. These laws “are the result of an openly political effort to wage war on a marginalized group and our most fundamental freedoms,” writes Chase Strangio, Co-Director of the ACLU's LGBT & HIV Project.

Hong Kong's LGBTQ community won a major victory as the city's top court affirmed the housing and inheritance rights of same-sex couples, ruling against the government
Hong Kong's LGBTQ community won a major victory Tuesday as the city's top court affirmed the housing and inheritance rights of same-sex couples, ruling against the government.
cross-posted from: https://feddit.org/post/5105313
The decision comes after a landmark 2023 ruling by the same court shut the door on legalising same-sex marriage, but gave the government two years to set up an "alternative legal framework" to safeguard rights for such couples.
Tuesday marked the end of a six-year legal battle after resident Nick Infinger took the government to court when he and his partner were excluded from public rental housing on the grounds they were not an "ordinary family".
The case was later heard together with that of Henry Li and his late husband, Edgar Ng, who challenged government policies on subsidised housing and inheritance rules that barred same-sex couples.
