What LGBTQ+ topic do you wish more people knew about? This could be a queer icon, a piece of history, knowledge about certain labels, specific philosophy topics (or notable philosopher), art, or anything else. Also if there are topics that you wish specific sub populations had greater access to or knowledge of, feel free to qualify (for example, you might wish there was greater knowledge about a specific cultural gender to all cultures which don't have exposure to this gender, or a desire for your local gay community to be more educated on a topic important to you).

... They can littetally not walk "freely". If they show interest in the wrong person they are stoned and burned exactly the same. Gay/Lesbians can also escape prosecution, they just have to hide who they are. Same as the BI person. Bi means beeing attracted to male and female and they have to surpress and hide that attraction or face persecution. That is not free.

A straight person how is persecuted for being attracted to anyone not called John/Jane isnt free just because there is someone they are allowed to be attracted to legally.
