Thank you to the Women's Law Project!

UPMC bowed to Trump and abandoned its trans patients, advocates say. It may have violated state law.

Well done!!! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤🤎🤍🩷🩵

We are doing our happy dance!!

A huge shout out to all of the activists and advocates that made the passage of an ordinance establishing a Human Relations Commission in Chester County, PA possible. Today was truly historic!

The 560,000 residents of Chester County will now have a way to mediate and adjudicate complaints of discrimination around protected classes that include race, disability, s*x, s*xual orientation, gender identity and others quickly and fairly before they escalate into costly court cases.

Our thanks to everyone in Chester County who made this happen!

Happy bis*xuality day!! 🩷💜💙

Happy Bi Visibility day! Today, we celebrate the B in the LGBTQIA+ community and raise awareness of the challenges bis*xual people face.

Bi people often experience marginalisation, such as biphobia and bi-erasure, both within the LGBTQIA+ community and in society at large.

This can lead to feelings of isolation, anxiety, and depression.

If you’re bi and struggling with your mental health, please know that you’re not alone. We’re here if you need to find support 💙

Thanks to Q***r Chameleon for their beautiful illustration.

📍 Where: 313 W Market St, West Chester
📅 When: Wednesday, Sept 24 | 10 AM
📢 Why: Because *everyone* deserves dignity, fairness, and freedom from discrimination.

Let’s make history— together.

Anti-LGBTQ+ extremists aren’t just shouting on TV — they’re quietly building power in school boards and statehouses. To fight back, we need strategy, not just outrage, says Former Pennsylvania State Representative Brian Sims.
