Shout out to all the queer Jews who feel conflicted over this holiday.
Shout out to all the queer Jews forced to participate (you deserve to make your own choices).
Shout out to all the queer Jews who are in traditional communities, and will read in tomorrow's torah reading that being queer is wrong
Shout out to all the queer Jews who feel the need to repent for their queerness (you are perfect the way you are).
Shout out to all the queer Jews who are tired of lying, and tired of repenting for lying.
Shout out to all the queer Jews who can only think of all the times and all the people they are lying to every time they read Al Chet
(על חטא)
Shout out to all the queer Jews who think of how many less sins they'd commit if only they weren't queer.
Shout out to all the queer Jews who do not feel safe today.
Shout out to all the queer Jews who do not know if or when they will ever feel safe on Yom Kippur.
You are all accepted here. You deserve a voice. My DMs are open if you need someone to talk to. This holiday can be challenging, but you will make it through.

Daniel 8 Compared to Leviticus 16 (Daily unto Yearly, and the Day of Atonement) - Psa. 77:13 KJB
In the book of Daniel, there is mentioned the phrase “the daily” (Dan. 8:11,12,13, 11:31, 12:11) in association with the Sanctuary of God which is the ongoing day by day ministration of the High Priest, which ended in the yearly service of the Day of Atonement (Lev. 16:1-34, 23:26-32).

Daniel 8:14 KJB - And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.
Side note:
The word “cleansed” [Daniel 8:14 KJB] is found tied to the following words, in relationship to the sanctuary and of judgment:
Consider that in Job 25:4 KJB, utilizing the same word found in Daniel 8:14 KJB, for “cleansed”, is given as “justified”, but in parallel [Isaiah 28:10 KJB, the ways of the Lord being “equal” [Ezekiel 18:25,29 KJB]] in vs 4, as meaning, “be clean”, and even vs 5, refers to “pure”, referring to a case to be judged, as Job's.
Consider that in Job 15:14 KJB, utilizing the same word found in Daniel 8:14 KJB, for “cleansed”, is given as “righteous”, but in parallel [Isaiah 28:10 KJB, the ways of the Lord being “equal” [Ezekiel 18:25,29 KJB]] in vs 14, as meaning, “be clean”, and even in vs 15, refers to “saints” [holy], and “clean” again.
Consider also that Psalms 51:4 KJB, utilizing the same word in Daniel 8:14 KJB, for “cleansed”, is given as “justified”, but in parallel [Isaiah 28:10 KJB, the ways of the Lord being “equal” [Ezekiel 18:25,29 KJB]] in vs 4, as meaning, “be clear when thou judgest” [ie. day of atonement, Leviticus 16 & 23:27-32 KJB, see also Revelation 9:13-15, 14:6-7 KJB], then read further in vs 7, of “clean” and “wash”.
Consider that in Job 22:3 KJB, utilizing the same word found in Daniel 8:14 KJB, for “cleansed”, is given as “righteous”, but in parallel [Isaiah 28:10 KJB, the ways of the Lord being “equal” [Ezekiel 18:25,29 KJB]] in vs 3, as meaning, “perfect”, and even in vs 4, refers to “judgment”.
Consider that in Psalms 19:7-9 KJB, utilizing the same word found in Daniel 8:14 KJB, for “cleansed”, is given as “righteous”, but in parallel [Isaiah 28:10 KJB, the ways of the Lord being “equal” [Ezekiel 18:25,29 KJB]] in [vs7]: “perfect”, [vs 8]: “right”, “pure”, [vs 9]: “clean”, “judgments”, “righteous”.
Etc, etc. for every time the underlying word, as found in Daniel 8:14 KJB, is used in scripture, it almost inevitably is connected with the same words in context, if not in the very same text itself, see [H6663], “צדק”, “tsâdaq” in the King James Concordance.
