We are a species connected by our shared humanity but we act ever-more separate due to the liberalism myth of individuality.
We live in a paradoxical duality: Our humanity connects us, but it doesn’t necessarily protect us.
This is especially true for LGBTQ+ people in Poland, Chechnya, and Russia. Dominant religious myths and political parties have deemed our lives a threat to societal mores and values — or that we are non-existent entities, i.e., we simply do not exist in their country.
It's unlikely that we can all just get along. It's not pragmatic, realistic, or even human nature. However, we can build bridges that connect more of us, bridges that people feel safe crossing — regardless of individual values or beliefs — to start a meaningful, humane dialogue.
