do not kill the gays!

How is this even a question? LGBTQ+ people existing isn't political. Are you going to flag all POC streamers the same way because racism exists?

No no NO!

Twitch continues to make awful decisions all whilst the CEO is off doing internet comedy shows. The last bullet in that new list needs to be removed, I'd maybe argue the last 2 need to be removed but the majority of the focus is on the last bullet point. You're not about to hide us behind warning labels just because you feel we shouldn't be allowed to talk about the things actively affecting us. Twitch, the same site that allows pool, tub or beach streams ? The same site that has a category for politics ? The same ones affecting every ******* person in the US and outside it ? One of which following a candidate that is responsible for several felonious acts including Jan 6. A candidate that repealed a very important law that affects every woman in the US ? I don't see your ******** warnings for that stream. Repoductive rights, LGBTQIA+ Right and Immigration are not something you hide away. It is reality. Much as ya'll would love to pretend they don't exist, they do. You're giving power to the ******* idiots who have taken away repoductive rights. You're empowering an entire political party with this move and don't you DARE say otherwise. Twitch needs to wake up remove this bullet point and then do some internal cleaning because ya'll need to get rid of the people who'd even dare suggest that we be hidden away.

Twitch should stop supporting bigotry

I Just think people should be able to express themselves however they feel. Be what they want. As long as it doesn't cause harm do anyone then I can't see this being a sensitive issue. Why is the world going backwards? Did I miss something here? Twitch should do better at policing the extremism that goes on in Twich never mind this. Twice, be better and be more consistent with your rules.

I should not have to worry about being flagged or removed simply for talking about an aspect of my life that is central to my identity. My queerness is a central part of who I am, and not something that should or needs to be locked away because it makes people uncomfortable.

I’m a horror streamer/gamer/content creator. I’m also disabled and I happen to be a nonbinary trans woman. Having said that, I’m outraged that Twitch wants to censor us further, so I am signing this petition to protest against Twitch’s censorship and plans to be extremely transphobic/ableist/xenophobic/audist/racist and even possibly fatphobic too. Yeah, Twitch, you’re about to force many people to move to YouTube or another platform at this point if you do go along with this. This shouldn’t even be happening. Nothing about us without us. We built your **** platform and showed up at TwitchCon for years now. We’re not free until we’re all free. Do NOT PASS THIS horrible policy because I can promise you there WILL BE A REVOLUTION from LGBTIQQA+, disabled, neurodivergent, autistic, AuDHD, BIPOC, etc. streamers, and even the streamers who are women will be revolting against you, Twitch. Think twice before implementing this fascist policy.

The existence of queer people is not a political or social issue

The existence of people that are not cis or straight is not a "sensitive social issue" any more than the existence of the sun or trees is a "sensitive social issue". It's a fact. Treating it otherwise is ridiculous.

lgbt is a part of being human and is not political. plz its 2024, most people can look up actual educational information about these topics before making changes like this :/ its not that hard...

I am a trans person just trying to exist and do something that is helping me overcome my social anxiety: stream. I just simply want ONE place where I can exist online without the threat of being filtered out simply because I mention my identity. I'm tired, I'm being filtered out on major social media because of discrimination and things like this. I just want somewhere I can feel welcome to do something that will help me and make me happy. And now Twitch is joining in on censoring LGBTQ+ voices like mine. This is crushing.

being trans and LGBTQ+ is not political or a sensitive social issue. I am not a sensitive political issue nor is my community

I support my friends in these communities.

This is just another form of segregation. LGBTQ+ people shouldn't be treated like an "other."

Cowards caving to the loudest, dumbest chuds on the internet. Let queer people be queer.

I am AFAB queer and I am not the only one such living being in the world. But more importantly, I'm a PERSON and I matter. My rights are as important as anyone else's.

I am a queer person who watches countless other LGBTQ+ streamers on Twitch. Forcing them to tag their streams as “sensitive social issues” akin to discussions of war is abhorrent. The LGBTQ+ community is made up of people simply wishing to live their lives with the same rights and liberties as any other person. We deserve to live our lives with dignity rather than having to wear a label that denotes our lives as something unnatural; a label that will be forced upon us if we choose not to use it. If the argument is that LGBTQ+ lives are inherently political as there is continual legislation about them then I must argue that this is a bad faith argument as by that definition, all lives are political. Moreover, the people who are most commonly being legislated about are the people with the least power, who desperately need protections. This is not protecting people; this is homophobia with only the vaguest of a disguise.

Our queer existence is not political, we are just existing

Human rights are never up for debate. LGBTQ+ are not a political talking point they are people who want to live their lives like anybody else. They want to game as much as the next person. This policy is just making it so bad actors can become more embolden in their harassment campaigns.
