THE HUMAN RIGHTS CAMPAIGN HAS DECLARED A STATE OF EMERGENCY FOR LGBT PEOPLE IN THE USA
Please watch this video by Rudy Riggs explaining it!
Took uh, a lot longer to add this ID than I intended
Picture ID: A person with a black t-shirt, layered silver necklaces, several piercings, a hat, and red hair dye except for the middle section which is brown. Their hair is very short, and they are very expressive with their hands and head movement. Their visible hand has several rings, one of which is very large.
The background is of a beige room with a sign light on the left, a picture or painting on the right, and plant in the corner.
There are captions above their head and a title in front of their throat which only stays for a few seconds.

Captions(slashes are used to signify the end of a caption):
okay so a national state of emergency has been declared in America/
for LGBTQ+ people by the Human Rights Commission/
but what does that even mean/
I hear you ask/
look it up for yourself/
but I’m going to tell you the top line facts/
firstly they have released a statement of emergency/
which basically just states what the emergency is about/
and why they have decided to declare one/
they’ve also released what they’re calling a handbook/
which has a bunch of resources/
like different laws in different states of America/
as well as rights for LGBTQ+ people in different states of America/
as well how to determine access for healthcare/
how to finance yourself a move to a safer state or place and finding employment/
information for filing complaints against civil rights laws/
as well as a bunch of other stuff about how to identify rhetoric/
and how to oppose anti LGBTQ/
plus situations on school boards or in other areas of your life/
and then finally/
the Human Rights Commission have also released information for travelers/
coming to the United States of America/
which is pretty terrifying/
that is just the overview of a very in depth document/
so please go and look at it yourself/
this is supposed to be Pride Month/
and it’s really hard to feel pride/
when human rights are being violated across the entire globe/

Rudy makes a note in the video description that they misspoke in the video and that it was the Human Rights Campaign, not Commission.
