This statement from Jonathan Joss's husband is heart breaking. No, headline writers, he wasn't "killed in an argument with a neighbor." He was *deliberately murdered* for being gay right after his dog was decapitated. Bet the murderer calls himself a "Christian." THIS is why Pride is important.

Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today. I'm so angry.
Statement from Tristan Kern de Gonzales
Husband of Jonathan Joss

My husband Jonathan Joss and I were involved in a shooting while checking the mail at the site of our former home. That home was burned down after over two years of threats from people in the area who repeatedly told us they would set it on fire. We reported these threats to law enforcement multiple times and nothing was done.

Throughout that time we were harassed regularly by individuals who made it clear they did not accept our relationship. Much of the harassment was openly homophobic.

When we returned to the site to check our mail we discovered the skull of one of our dogs and its harness placed in clear view. This caused both of us severe emotional distress. We began yelling and crying in response to the pain of what we saw.

While we were doing this a man approached us. He started yelling violent homophobic slurs at us. He then raised a gun from his lap and fired.

Jonathan and I had no weapons. We were not threatening anyone. We were grieving. We were standing side by side. When the man fired Jonathan pushed me out of the way. He saved my life.

Jonathan is my husband. He gave me more love in our time together than most people ever get. We were newlyweds. We picked Valentines Day. We were in the process of looking for a trailer and planning our future.

He was murdered by someone who could not stand the sight of two men loving each other.

I was with him when he passed. I told him how much he was loved.

To everyone who supported him, his fans, his friends, know that he valued you deeply. He saw you as family.

My focus now is on protecting Jonathan’s legacy and honoring the life we built together.

If your concern is how someone coped with trauma or how loudly they speak when recounting injustice and being ignored by authorities then you never truly cared about my husband.

Jonathan saved my life. I will carry that forward. I will protect what he built.

Ready for the #PrideMonth? While some politicians are busy turning fear into authoritarian control, let's do the hard work: defend a democratic, inclusive Europe. Hungary, we stand with you. 🏳️‍🌈 Because shantay, we’re here to stay. 👉 Join Volt: loom.ly/Mxq0pSA
Quote from László Kövér, speaker of the Hungarian National Assembly, over a background of the Hungarian flag: “Morally there is no difference between the behaviour of a pedophile and someone who demands same-sex marriage and adoption.” Below the quote are images of Viktor Orbán, Primer Minister of Hungary, and László Kövér.
Purple background with the header “In Hungary, Orbán is:” followed by a bullet-point list:
Banning Pride and LGBTQ+ events
Using facial recognition to identity and fine attendees
Censoring any mention of homosexuality to minors
Targeting foreign-funded organisations – banning or fining those that differ from “traditional values” or criticise the government.
Withdrawing from the International Criminal Court
Volt logo in the top right corner.Title reads: “Authoritarianism 101.” Three steps listed:
Divide: Frame a minority as a threat to the nation.
Divest: Step in as the “protector.” Use fear to take away rights.
Dominate: Silence opposition. Stay in power. Escape accountability.
Below, in a red rectangle, a quote reads: “Orbán is targeting queer people, using fear to justify authoritarian control.” Subtext says: “This isn’t just an attack on queer people; it’s an attack on democracy and freedom.” In the corner is a meme image of Jennifer Coolidge saying, “These gays, they’re trying to murder me” — a reference to The White Lotus season 2.
Volt logo in the top right corner.Title: “Division is easy. Let’s do the hard work.”
Three sections with bullet point for each follow:
In the law
Equal rights to marry and adopt
Recognise trans, non-binary, and intersex people
Protect against hate crimes and discrimination
In public services
Access to gender-affirming care 
Ban non-consensual “sex-normalising” surgeries
Train police and judges to address bias
In daily life
Inclusive education and workplaces
In the bottom left corner, an image of a protest sign reads “Protect kids from Orbán.”

M'he adonat que la retòrica i el discurs de molts nacionalistes espanyols és molt similar a la retòrica dels nacionalistes russos.
Castile: Changed its name to “Spain” to legitimize its control over the former Roman province of Hispania; Obsession with Catholic extremism, tied with its historical antisemitism; Spanish nationalists deny or downplay the existence of other nations inside the Kingdom of Spain, saying they are artificial inventions of “nationalist” politicians; Spanish nationalists decry the “oppression” of native Spanish speakers in Autonomous Communities with minority languages, especially Catalonia; Spanish nationalists say that the Spanish Empire was good for its subjugated nations and that it only fell because of Western powers conspiring against it; Castilians feel entitled to the land and resources of other Iberian nations, ignoring the wishes of their inhabitants; Spanish nationalists say that “everyone suffered under the Francoist dictatorship”, ignoring the policies enacted to destroy minority languages (they still glorify the dictatorship anyways).
Muscovy: Changed its name to “Russia” to legitimize its control over the former Kyivan Rus’; Obsession with Orthodox extremism, tied with its historical antisemitism; Russian nationalists deny or downplay the existence of other nations inside the former Russian Empire, saying they are artificial inventions of “nationalist” politicians; Russian nationalists decry the “oppression” of native Russian speakers in former Soviet countries, especially Ukraine; Russian nationalists say that the
Russian Empire/Soviet Union was good for its subjugated nations and that it only fell because of Western powers conspiring against it; Russians feel entitled to the land and resources of other post-Soviet nations, ignoring the wishes of their inhabitants; Russian nationalists decry the Soviet Union as “the loss of (an Orthodox)
Russia”, ignoring the Russification policies under the USSR (they still glorify the dictatorship anyways).

Masculinity is not changing yourself to appease the social expectations set on you by internet grifters. What masculinity IS can differ from man to man. To me, masculinity is shouldering your responsibilities and acting to protect those who cannot protect themselves.
