Trump’s vision of “greatness” isn’t about lifting people up—it’s about cheap labour, weakened rights, and nostalgic exploitation. It’s not the golden age. It’s the Gilded Age, reheated and rebranded.

If Jesus didn’t have a biological father, what does that say about his chromosomes? And what does it say about us if the idea of a trans Jesus makes us uncomfortable?

Calling yourself an ally doesn’t guarantee you a spot on the ship. Allyship is earned through action—not comfort, not compliments. And if you fall off? Swim back and keep doing the work.

Rebranding DEI to make it more palatable won’t dismantle white supremacy—it just reinforces it. The problem isn’t the words. It’s how quickly we abandon them when things get uncomfortable.

When a woman voices a "male" lion, the misogyny shows up fast—and so does tone policing. Here’s why asking a question isn’t an attack, and why discomfort isn’t the enemy.

I’ve been voting for 27 years, and now I cast my ballot with my queer neighbours in mind. Here’s how to vote with empathy, inclusion, and real impact this election.

The term Two-Spirit was created by Indigenous people in 1990 as a way to honour and reclaim gender-diverse identities rooted in pre-colonial traditions. If your idea of liberation excludes them, it’s not liberation at all.

When someone made a hurtful comment about a friend’s mobility device, I froze. But my friend Patty didn’t. She stirred in the lesson from a video I’d made—and chose to give that friend their agency.

Transphobia and homophobia don’t exist in a vacuum—they’re rooted in a deep contempt for femininity. To fight back, we must confront misogyny, white supremacy, and colonialism together.

Stonewall was more than a bar—it was a battleground, a symbol, and the spark of a movement. Here’s why the 1969 uprising still matters and how its legacy lives on in every step toward queer liberation.

Unchained Philanthropy has raised over $75,000 to support 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals in Hamilton—funding everything from gender gear to queer-inclusive kids’ books. Here’s how community generosity is changing lives.

True allyship means showing up for everyone—not just those who look or live like us. Intersectionality reminds us that liberation isn’t one-size-fits-all, and real solidarity leaves no one behind.

You can be kind, well-intentioned, and still get it wrong. That doesn’t erase your goodness—it reveals your capacity to grow. Even heroes like Mr. Rogers had blind spots. What matters is listening, learning, and evolving.

True feminism is intersectional. If it doesn’t include trans and queer people, it’s not feminism.

White guilt isn’t helpful—it just reinforces white supremacy. Instead of getting stuck in guilt, focus on real action and allyship.

Marginalized people fought in World War II too—2SLGBTQIA+, Black, Jewish, Indigenous, and women fighters helped win the war. It’s time their stories were told.

Whether it’s 2SLGBTQIA+ rights, immigrant justice, or basic human dignity, Budde calls out the hypocrisy of those who use the Bible as a weapon instead of a guide. If your faith makes you cruel, maybe it’s time to re-read the Book.
