“People with developmental differences—”
You can call me disabled, I promise not to cry.
It’s like they think we won’t figure out we’re disabled if they don’t say the word.

Muslims across the Arab world recently participated in Moroccan-based Aswat magazine’s anti-homophobia campaign, “Love for All.” To honor International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia on May 17, Aswat put out calls for Muslims to submit pictures of themselves holding signs condemning homophobia. In speaking of the motivations behind the campaign, Aswat writer Maher Alhaj noted that, “We [LGBTQ+ Muslims] are humans like others, we exist everywhere and we deserve to be acknowledged and celebrated within the fabrics of our societies like all other groups in society.”
While there are doubtless bounds and leaps to go concerning the acceptance of LGBTQ+ people in different societies, the steps being taken now are still meaningful.
…I’m fairly sure horses don’t move like that.
