Just in time for Pride Month YouTube removed our channel without any warning.
The reason? Our videos on Sexuality, queer realities of life and Safer sex would violate guidelines on "sex and nudity" - and were allegedly "a danger for the community".
That's a slap in the face - and not just for us,
but for allwho are in favour of Education, visibility and sexual health use.
We say: We will not put up with this.
Our work has a clear public mandate:
Empower people. Educate people. Promote safer sex.
Making gender identities visible.
We make no porn.
We make Empowerment - for gay, bi+, trans and queer people.
We now even have to write terms like "sex" with two Gs ("segg") or disguise them with special characters - just so the algorithm doesn't block us.
What now?
We will continue. Loud. Visible. Uncomfortable.
We will not be silenced.
Our work is important - and we are continuing it.
We tell you exactly what happened in the video below:
