I know yall don't like talking about "political" topics on this stream and I know it isn't technically political, but god they sure do love making queer people into political pawns. Still, I am so grateful for the whole section talking about the entire situation. Not only allowing Austin express his anger towards just the ludicracy of people's hatred. It also means a lot hearing the allyship from both hasan and qt, hasan obviously because he knows the legislation etc, but also qt because she knows how the community is, and she knows how it has been these past couple of days. Honestly i love this group of people, not only fear & but the people they are associated with it will always be a pretty bubble in the ses pool that is twitch. -trans man (also engl is my second lang sorry for bad grammar.

I really appreciate you guys talking about controversies like this. It can really blow when you just see this stuff on twitter, and you see the bigoted perspectives are ratioing the ones in support of LGBT and all the replies are just one sided because all the checkmarks are shown first. Starts to feel hopeless at some point, but seeing people like QT and Hassan and Kaceytron speak out about it on twitter itself and watching you guys discuss it here helps restore the hope a bit.

Had the honor to meet the definition of an admirable human being; people from every part of his life took time to write him letters of gratitude for his influence in their lives. He reached the height of his career as head librarian for a major city school district, with nothing but awards and recognitions along the way. He lived a triumph of a life well into his 80s, and never felt comfortable enough to admit anyone that his “roommate” was really his partner of 20 years . I think about him often, and what could have been for him, and others, if he had been able to live his life _fully_
