Five years ago, I implemented non-discrimination protections for LGBTQ commonwealth employees.

These employment protections still do not exist statewide. Instead, GOP state legislators are spending their time trying to roll back rights for young trans students.

Tell your legislators: We want MORE protections for LGBTQ Pennsylvanians. Pass legislation that protects LGBTQ people from discrimination in employment, housing, and within public spaces: on.pa.gov/FindMyLegislator.

Europos Parlamentas netrukus svarstys rezoliuciją, kuri Europą paskelbs "LGBTIQ laisvės zona". Jau dvejus metus kai kurios Lenkijos savivaldybės save yra paskelbusios "zonomis be LGBTI".

Ši rezoliucija yra signalas visiems LGBTIQ asmenims, organizacijoms ir aktyvistams, kad Europos Parlamentas pasisako už jų teises. Tai taip pat yra signalas išrinktiems politikams, vyriausybėms ir sprendimus priimantiems asmenims, kad LGBTIQ asmenų diskriminacija jokiu būdu ar forma neatitinka europinių vertybių.

„Mūsų teisės, mūsų laisvės. Mes nesame ideologija. Mes didžiuojamės Europos #LGBTIQFreedomZone piliečiais“.

Honestly we could not have said this Any better.

Thank you for this, @dearasianamericans

“Happy Black History Month, friends.

Without Black History, there is no Asian American history as we know it.

Without the Civil Rights Act, the Immigration and Nationality Act would not have passed, the historic change that led so many of us Asian Americans being here in America.

Let's celebrate the events, the movements, and the people that fought for ALL of us to exist in America.

Black History is Asian American History; our history overlaps and so will our future.

Black history is my history and I'm here to celebrate it.

"letters-to-lgbt-kids:

TW: S*x

My dear lgbt+ kids,

Gay isn’t a s*xual term.

Many gay people have s*x, yes. That’s a beautiful thing, nothing that needs to be hidden away. We can talk about it. It can absolutely be a important part of a gay person’s life. And yet, it’s important to say: Gay isn’t just about “what people do in their bedroom”.

Minors can identify as gay. They might have zero s*xual experience and zero interest in s*x yet and can still feel confident in the fact that they have romantic feelings for the same gender - just like straight kids can have crushes or be in their very first relationship with another kid before they even start caring about s*x.

Homophobic people will often argue that we are “overs*xualizing” minors or pushing them to have s*x if we allow them to identify as gay. The opposite is true: if kids are allowed to explore their romantic feelings without it being a “shameful secret”, they will have a healthier attitude towards love and s*x as adults.

And even as an adult: You can be gay and don’t have s*x.

Portraying gayness as a purely s*xual thing can put pressure on gay people who are not s*xually active to “prove” their identity. No matter if it’s because they’re a minor, as*xual, have trauma or health conditions that make it difficult for them to have s*x, simply don’t enjoy s*x… They are still gay, even if they do nothing in their bedroom.

And if you are gay and have s*x, well, even then reducing it to a s*x term doesn’t do you and your relationships justice. It’s so much more than something you do under the covers. Gay love is love.

With all my love,

Your Tumblr Dad"

Why JoJo Siwa's coming out is such a massively big deal

https://edition.cnn.com/2021/01/30/us/jojo-siwa-coming-out-significance-wellness-trnd/index.html

There's no precedent for what JoJo did -- no star of her caliber, at her age, whose audience is made up of mostly elementary schoolers, has come out so publicly. And JoJo, with her unflappable joy, is an example unlike any LGBTQ young people have had.
