Make no mistake about it: Trump is creating an America where there is no free speech. Trans people are being forced out of public spaces. The next step will be banning any defense of LGBTQ people.

Fight back!

Trump's idea of banning Pride flags is part of a broader pattern of oppression.

First Trump wants to monopolize the use of the American flag, in essence saying that right wing nationalists are the only true Americans.

Donald Trump has said he would have “no problem” with removing Progress Pride flags from Washington, D.C. streets. The remarks came during a September 15, 2025 exchange in the Oval Office with right...

# Genital Autonomy Collective Summer GoFundMe Update: Portland Pride & InterConnect 2025

Sorry for the delay in this update, I’ve been taking a break after months of summer events.

Y’all may have seen that our board member, Perry, posted about Google trends of related search terms spiking along with our events. It’s been extremely motivating seeing objective measures of interest in the topic of genital autonomy. Our boots on the ground public outreach is clearly reaching people, and I’m extremely proud of everyone helping to make that happen! Y’alls time volunteering and generous donations have been extremely helpful.

## Portland Pride GALDEF Booth
Between **GALDEF**; The **Genital Autonomy Legal Defense & Education Fund**, **Intact Global**, and **Genital Autonomy Collective**, we had 9 volunteers helping out! It was even a bit cramped at times between the morning and evening shifts behind just one table. I had a great time meeting folks from Intact Global, and GALDEF in person again! There were many many good dogs, and I definitely did not bribe any with treats. We gave away all of the literature we printed out on Hadachek v. Oregon. The most popular was our zine: *Hadachek v. Oregon: Information about the lawsuit for LGBTQ+ People* written by T.T. Perry. This is available on our public drive folder for anyone that would like to print it. We had a small flier on foreskin restoration devices which was very popular and shows the need for accessible literature on foreskin restoration, which we’re currently working on.

I also talked to many other orgs running tables to possibly collaborate. Including:
* A local apparel company to make higher quality GAC logo shirts for future events
* Someone at OPB, Oregon Public Broadcasting, excited to bring Hadachek v. Oregon to their higher-ups
* A queer focused non-denominational church supportive of genital autonomy as an in-person location for support groups
* And, many others without concrete plans

### Hadachek v. Oregon Updates
We helped Intact Global easily collect **over 200 emails**. Ask anyone who’s collected emails before, and they’ll tell you it feels like pulling teeth. However, Oregonians show up to fight for human rights, and wanted to know how and when to support **Hadachek v. Oregon**. We ask that people come to the **Pioneer Square Courthouse** in Portland to show support on the day of the hearing. You can find out when by subscribing to the Intact Global email newsletter at the link below. You can join a Genital Autonomy Collective Discord server for updates as well!

Hong Kong vetoing a bill that would have allowed limited legal rights for same-sex couples shows how the city lags internationally on human rights, one couple says. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/09/17/asia-pacific/society/hong-kong-same-sex-rights-bill/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #asiapacific #society #hongkong #lgbtq #china

The same-sex bill represented an opportunity to implement what would have been a rare liberal shift in Hong Kong's legal landscape.

I'm experiencing some annoying anti-queer bigotry in some aspects of my life right now, but as I have been doing for the last 3 decades, the best way I know how to react to that is to continue having a phenomenally great time.

i have so much queer joy, you can't possibly take that away from me.
