Lingerie that is not sexual, fine art, breastfeeding, medical drawings, and sexual news are all allowed as well. Safe sex education and products, STD awareness, and contraceptives are all allowed, so long as they don’t depict graphic sexual content. There are a few “adult” categories that ARE allowed to advertise. Sexual clothing, dating sites with sexual themes, erotic massage, sex toys, and marriage services are not allowable either. Enlargement or enhancement products cannot be promoted.
Full or partial nudity or sexual content in images, videos, or even in language cannot be promoted. Escorts and prostitutes cannot be promoted.

If you’re using in any way, these policies dominate. This applies to paid ads, paid trends, and promoted accounts, but not to organic advertising. Next, you need to understand the advertising policies. If your profile picture or header image is violating this rule, they can remove it and suspend you, and will suspend you permanently in the case of repeat offenses. If your content is reported as sensitive and your account is not marked as such, Twitter can enforce labeling, permanently adjust the setting on your account, remove the media, or even suspend your account if the violation is steep enough. Meanwhile, the account imagery is visible even if the feed content is blocked, so it’s unregulated exposure. Live videos are not allowed because they’re difficult to scan or enforce. You are allowed to post adult pictures and videos, but you cannot have them in live video, profile images, or header images.

So without further ado, let's take a look at five awesome, diverse LGBTQ accounts to follow on Twitter. I can read a short tweet about a topic - say, gay marriage or queer youth homelessness in Seattle - and decide whether or not I want to continue exploring the topic by replying, clicking any links provided, exploring hashtags, or doing research on my own. And Twitter is also great for another, slightly more obvious reason, too: Succinctness. One reason Twitter is one of my favorite platforms on which to follow LGBTQ figures is that its users frequently post on a wide and varied array of topics that are important to them and the communities in which they are involved it's therefore relatively easy to find people who inhabit the same communities as you do, which helps bring people together even if they're not geographically in the same place. As a queer woman of color who grew up and went to college in predominantly white communities, I tend not to be surrounded by too many people who share the same identities as mine as a solution, I usually turn to social media to find like-minded people, ideas that help me expand and explore my identities, and conversations I can count on to be inclusive and intersectional.
