Data privacy is important for everyone. But for some marginalized populations, data privacy is indispensable for social connection, access to information, and physical safety.
Here are 3 articles published with Privacy Guides last year discussing this topic from different angles:

I'm looking for a feel good queer memoir audiobook for pride month. Seeking any recommendations.

Edit: I'm giving Dog Years by Mark Doty a try. It covers the serious struggles of 2 humans reflected in the love of their pet dogs. The sample charmed me. I'm listening via Libby & the Queer Liberation Library.

The fact that Jews are banned from PRIDE is a clear act of discrimination, and that's bolstered by their reasoning.
They argue Jews must denounce Israel and Zionism to be included and that these Jewish organizations haven't done so to the level that satisfies them.
This demand for loyalty pledges and denouncement isn't new. This is what was demanded of Jews in Spain during the inquisition, and more recently in the Soviet Union when Jews were accused of secret loyalty to Israel or a Jewish Cabal.

If you are a Queer non-Jew and you care about inclusivity, you must take this opportunity to stand by your Jewish siblings for their rights. Be an ally.

This article is talking about the UK press; I wonder if the results would be the same for the press here in the USA.
Note that The Guardian, which does such good work in many fields, is not good at all when it comes to trans issues.
