First of all, not everyone knows about it. in fact most walkthroughs and guides don’t mention it as a romance option at all, which is a shame.

More importantly it’s a knockout love story, not only for a video game but for historical fiction, period. I was floored.

i’ll admit i assumed (based on the writers at warhorse treating women a…certain way [historical accuracy idk]) that the gay romance storyline would be a cruel joke, some infantile homophobic gross-out moment—instead, Hans is evoking legendary knights (suggesting lancelot was gay?) and its emotional and beautiful and kinda sexxayyyy.

THANK YOU WARHORSE. who wrote this storyline? where did it come from?

i don’t know if these scenes were mo-capped by the actors but if so please share the bts. ❤️🌈

TW: mentions of suicidal thoughts and queerphobia

I’m an atheist but I want to be a Muslim. However, I’m also queer. I’m genderfluid, bi, and on the asexual spectrum. I have seen so much lgbt hate from Muslims. I don’t know how I can be a part of religion that doesn’t support people like me.

If I do convert I will 100% “act” on my feelings. I have to. If I don’t, I’ll die. I tried for years, since I was 12, to be cis, to be straight, and it didn’t work. I just made myself miserable. If I did it again I don’t think I’d survive it. I’ve seen Muslims say that “it’s just a test from Allah and you’ll be rewarded.” I’m not going to torture myself to suicide for anyone, and I can’t worship a god that would ask that of me.

What can I do? I know there are many queer Muslims, Muslims who are in gay marriages and transition, and they do so saying that Islam as a religion is lgbtq+ friendly. That Allah made them like this. Are there arguments that can be made in support of this? Verses up for debate?

I’m sorry if it seems like I’m rambling. I just want to be Muslim, but I also want to be myself and I don’t know if the two can coexist.

Recently the Department of Health and Human Services proposed a new rule which would allow insurance companies to exclude gender affirming care.

It is best to write a unique comment as federal employees are required to read and track each unique comment submitted.

However, here is a template that could be used as a starting point. Customize yourself or copy/paste into ChatGPT and ask it to rewrite it using differnet words.

I am writing to express my strong opposition to the proposed rule titled "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act: Marketplace Integrity and Affordability," which would remove the requirement for insurers to cover gender-affirming care as an essential health benefit and restrict access to ACA coverage for DACA recipients.

Gender-affirming care is medically necessary and recognized as such by leading organizations like the American Medical Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics. Excluding it from essential health benefits would create significant barriers for transgender individuals, leading to worse health outcomes and deepening disparities. Additionally, this rule would disproportionately harm DACA recipients by denying them access to ACA health insurance. Many DACA recipients already face challenges accessing affordable healthcare, and this proposed change would further marginalize them.

This rule undermines the principles of equality, non-discrimination, and justice that the Affordable Care Act is meant to uphold. The decision to remove these protections not only risks the well-being of vulnerable groups but also contradicts the fundamental values of fairness in healthcare access.

I urge you to reconsider this rule and maintain gender-affirming care as an essential health benefit while preserving ACA coverage for DACA recipients. Ensuring healthcare access for all individuals, regardless of gender identity or immigration status, is critical to fostering an equitable and inclusive society.

Thank you for considering my comment.

This applies to any marginalized group (to varying degrees) depending on the specific cultural and social conditions at play during a specific time of course.

The U.S. department of health took down this document about the benefits of gender affirming care for young people.

But the courts made them put it back.

But I have no idea if this court decision will be upheld or not.

So please, down load it to your hard drive so that the U.S. government can't bury it later.
