#Peace is not quiet when people are being erased. On Nelson #Mandela International Day, we honor a legacy of human rights by defending LGBTQ+ safety, visibility, and the freedom to live without shame. #MandelaDay #QueerRights

#Mandela's legacy reminds us that equality cannot stop at symbolism. Under his presidency, South #Africa became the first country to explicitly protect sexual orientation in its constitution. We carry that lesson forward. #MandelaDay #LGBTQ

#Mandela Day asks what we do with freedom. For #LGBTQ+ people, the answer must include laws, streets, homes, and communities where no one has to become smaller to be safe. #MandelaDay #LGBTQ

For Nelson Mandela International Day, we remember that freedom must reach the people pushed to the margins. South Africa's post-apartheid constitution protected sexual orientation in law. Peace means dignity for #LGBTQ+ lives. #MandelaDay #LGBTQ
