Obviously this is far-right agitprop whining about us gays getting any attention during Pride Month, but I genuinely can't imagine anyone would actually get upset about a "Wiki Loves America 250th" campaign and competition Anyway, come support us at @wmlgbt.org by getting involved: w.wiki/NLS5
Tweet from Justino Russell (@JustinORussell)

Wikipedia begs you for money on literally every page.

Then they run 'Wiki Loves Pride 2026' with cash prizes for editors to create more LGBTQ+ articles.

They want to add more sections about "trans-men", "people that
menstruate", "non-binary people", "omnisexuality", the "transexualizing process", "queerphobia", and much more that I'll spare you from seeing. (link truncated)

But if we suggest a 'Wiki Loves America 250th' campaign with prizes, everyone loses their minds. Is that not the type of diversity they're going for?
@wikilgbt

I really recommend @Grokipedia if you don't want you and your family to get programmed into normalizing the unnormal.

Followed by screenshots of proposed articles for the editing campaign:

• Pride celebrations in the United Kingdom (needs expanding)
• Pride celebrations in India
• Pride celebrations in Australia (drafted, needs expanding)
• Pride celebrations in New Zealand
• LGBTQ history in South Africa
• Lesbians in Love and Compromising Situations
• Homocultura (Portuguese article)
• Tarso Brant (Portuguese article)
• CasaNem (Portuguese article)
• Dante Olivier (Portuguese article)
• Inclusive Writing in France (French article)
• Menstruation among transgender people (French article, highlighted with a red oval)
• Noor (dancer) (French article)

27 years ago, two years after the introduction of effective HIV treatment, the Bay Area Reporter, San Francisco’s lesbian and gay community newspaper, ran ‘No Obits’ as its headline. It was the first edition not to report an AIDS death in almost 15 years.
The Bay Area Reporter front page, 13 August 1998.
The headline ‘No obits’ is written in red above the lead story.

One of the most moving panels in the UK AIDS Memorial Quilt is the one that no-one sees. It remains covered up because the parents of the person who died are ashamed. HIV stigma creates barriers to testing and treatment. It perpetuates the epidemic. #MakeStigmaHistory
A white panel has been pinned over a panel of the quilt.
There is a note attached which reads:
This panel was made by a friend for a friend.
The parents do not want this panel to be shown anywhere.
The stigma still exists.
Until this changes this panel will remain covered. 
A red ribbon is not enough. 
The quilt is not enough. 
What will it take?
Attitudes must change.
