TDoR is this Saturday, November 20. Check the webpage to see if there are any events near you. If not, start your own, or light a candle in remembrance of all the lives lost to transphobic violence.
This is BIG NEWS, guys. It won’t go into effect right away, but Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell has officially been declared unconstitutional, and will be provisionally repealed.
California has finally come to its senses—Prop 8, which banned same-sex marriage in California, has been overturned. This is an incredibly significant step forward in GLBT rights in this country.
Obama has declared June 2010 GLBT Pride Month, just as he did last year. Events will be going on around the country all month; check and see if there’s anything in your area.
Today is the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia. Though most of the promotions and events are in Canada, there are events worldwide today. Check and see if a group in your area is helping to eliminate homophobia and transphobia. If not, get out there and do something yourself, or form a group to further the cause!
HALLE-FUCKIN’-LUJAH.
This story’s nearly a month old now, but it still breaks my heart to think we live in the kind of society where this kind of thing goes down all the time and we turn a blind eye. It’s no more acceptable, but it’s one thing when an adult or even a teenager is murdered for not fitting the norms. It’s an entirely more monstrous thing altogether when a kid not even two years old dies for acting like a girl.
Heads up: this is an intense article.
This is proof that not all of us Christians are bad people who hate gays. Some of us are gay ourselves, and there are even Christian allies out there. This article brought me to tears, it’s so beautiful.
This is encouraging news. Hopefully, if Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell is repealed, then the next step will be some intrepid politician looking at our national laws and saying “well, they can serve in the military, but they can’t get married? That’s just not right.” Then again, you can die for your country at 18 but have to wait until 21 to drink, so who knows. This is still a step in the right direction, America.
This year’s theme is “Live Your Life Well”. Chances are that if you are not dealing with a mental health issue yourself, you know someone who is. Look out for yourself, learn how to take care of your mind, and live well.
