In 2002, a lesbian couple - Marié Fourie and Cecelia Bonthuys - petitioned the Pretoria High Court and the Department of Home Affairs to recognise and register their union as an official and valid marriage.

ok but the only reason women’s clothes (and dresses in particular) have functional pockets these days is because millennials made a big deal out of it. like i cannot impress upon you how 90% of women’s jeans never used to have pockets you could put anything in. JEANS ffs
“It has pockets” is such an annoying millennial thing like it needs to die

Just so we're clear on how absolutely stupid the British Government is. When a petition is signed with over 2 million people saying No to Digital ID, it gets ignored. When 9000 people answer an online, unadvertised survey, suddenly it's "overwhelming support".
UK consultation results show overwhelming support for social media age limits, with 89% of responding parents backing a legal minimum age requirement. The debate is increasingly shifting from whether age assurance works to how it should be governed and enforced. #ageverification biometricupdate.com/202606/u…
Community note
To say that ~9700 people is an overwhelming support is misleading. gov.uk/government/pub… A petition against it was signed by ~65000 people. "Do not ban social media for under 16s": petition.parliament.uk/petitions/7572… And the anti-digital ID (which is also a form of age verification, amongst other things) was signed by nearly 3m petition.parliament.uk/petitions/7301…

Replying to @AustinWyckes
Like we at @DivinationBlog host Queer Your eReader, we have 5 genres, and our criteria is 'has queer characters'. We ask people to confirm the actual rep in the book so people can easily choose the books that appeal to them!

We want to hear from you - what are you doing to celebrate Pride this year? Are you attending any events, or maybe you're reading/watching/listening to something in particular. Share any of your recommendations for stuff you've particularly enjoyed and/or found valuable

Our stance on what makes a book queer: Queer characters Queer people deserve as varied representation as straight people. We deserve to see ourselves in a variety of genres without our queerness being invalidated.
