Life for queers in Western countries has got much better since I was a terrified, lonely little gayboy on a Scottish island in the 1970s. But with this, and what's happening in the US, we see that our gains aren't set in stone. They can be taken away at any time. Keep fighting.

EXCLUSIVE: The government has ditched its promised ban on conversion therapy.
A briefing document leaked to @itvnews states "The PM has agreed we should not move forward with legislation to ban LGBT conversion therapy".
It breaks 4 years of promises.

Cancel culture is when a person accustomed to speaking over others gets talked back to.
That's it. That's the whole phenomenon.

Finally, it often seems that conservatives have claimed the language of "ethics” to impose old-fashioned morality, which is very disappointing. Ethics is too important to let anti-queer activists take it from us. The end. 7/7

“Some … have hypothesized that … heavy internet exposure might be responsible” … and there we are – if only we could protect young people from bad influences, stop them getting ideas, they'd all be straight. Same thinking as underlies Florida’s “don’t say gay” bill 6/7

Trans identity is “at least in part, a result of peer influence” – if that was true, we'd all be straight. We were surrounded by straight peers growing up. It’s not that easy to shift a sexual or gender identity 5/7

... “College-aged youth are declaring new identities … without their parents’ knowledge” they write. Calling for parental control over young people's - young ADULTS' - sexual identities is a RED FLAG 3/7

... The article collapses together “children”, “teens” and “college-aged youth” as all requiring protection of older adults. Fits with the expansion of “adolescence” up to 25 by conservative activists attempting to control young adults 2/7

So many thoughts.

Good point. This is what happens when you devolve work to non-experts.

So sad that kids today spend so much time online. When we were kids we were always outside throwing rocks at one another, smoking, lighting small fires, stealing car hood ornaments, shoplifting, trying drugs... one time I drank gasoline.

A lot of academic Twitter is bragging about their new jobs right now so I wanted to shout out to the years-on-the-market without a bite folks; there is no fair logic to this, the system is broken, it isn’t you. It seems like everyone is getting jobs but it’s just Twitter.

Pornography is not an addiction; it is a way to escape from other issues in your life. I interviewed , a clinical psychologist and associate professor in the clinical psychology PhD program at Bowling Green State University. Listen here: bit.ly/3Kqklt1

Question for academics: do you ever write stuff purely for your own pleasure? I published this article on how "popular culture" is represented in popular culture. I can't imagine it will be of any interest to other human beings, but I'm fascinated by it bit.ly/3MzDPNt

This story of a young man struggling with his sexual feelings is so familiar to me: as a young Christian I hated my sexuality. I spoke to Isaiah Gee about his struggles with his sexual expression and tried to reassure him that #pornaddictionisnotathing
