I am deserving of life
and deserving of love.
I am normal, perfectly normal.
I am unique, not a freak.
I bring goodness into the world
by being true to who I am.
It is beautiful to love,
And the love I feel is beautiful.

Gay rights legend & pioneer Fred Sargeant (74), one of the co-founders of the Gay Pride march in NYC and participant in Stonewall in 1969, was violently assaulted by trans rights activists at Burlington Pride this weekend. @LGBAlliance_USA condemns this unconscionable act.
[1/7]
He says "I went to Pride to protest their misogyny, homophobia, exclusionary policies and divisiveness. I was met by screaming, multiple assaults, ageist comments, shoving, slaps to the back of my head, pouring coffee on me and repeated attempts to steal my signs." [2/7]
His statement continues:
"Being unsuccessful in their attempts to disrupt my protest and drive me away, the mob pushed me to the ground"

He would later say, of attending: "Before I went, my husband asked why I was going to protest. I answered, if I don't who else should?"

On July 12, 2022, the U.S. Department of Education formally released its proposed revisions to Title IX implementation and opened them for public comment. These changes would codify “gender identity” into law, rendering single-sex spaces illegal in any educational
institution that receives federal funding. We encourage everyone to submit their opinions on the proposed rule changes by September 12, 2022.

Below we offer some of the most important points we focused on in our letter of opposition but it is extremely important that
you include your own wording/thoughts in your submission.

-Defining sex and, thus, sexual orientation around an individual's self-declared identity makes it impossible for gay and lesbian students to organize same-sex only groups/clubs or to have their boundaries around sexual

This Pride month, we invite LGB people to stand up for same-sex rights and community amid both new and old forms of homophobia, rainbow capitalism, and homosexual erasure in the name of “inclusivity” and “queerness.” Image
Pride has a long history of political & social activism. In honor of tradition, as well as progress & growth, we invite you to speak up & make your voice heard. Let's put a stop to the homophobia & self-hate coming from within our own community.
It's time to speak up for ourselves & each other.
If you’ve been afraid to voice your doubts or concerns about what’s been happening within our community in recent years, Pride is the time to be brave & start speaking up, just as previous generations of LGB people did to create

A statement about #DontSayGay (a thread).

The legislation in Florida known as the "Don't Say Gay" bill is not really about same-sex orientation or same-sex rights. The bill aims to ensure schools will not be permitted to discuss "sexual orientation or gender identity" (1/7)
below the third grade level. Since sex ed or sexuality in general is not currently discussed in these younger grades, the bill itself does not affect same-sex rights in schools; rather, it is clear this bill is primarily designed to prevent schools from (2/7)
promoting gender ideology to young children. While we do not align politically with the proponents of this bill and we fully understand that many of its proponents are likely homophobic in addition to being critical of self-ID, we do agree that gender ideology is (3/7)

I am a Gay Man From an LGBT-Free Zone 1/6

"Fortunately, transitioning was never presented to me as an option, and I eventually grew up to accept myself as a feminine gay man." 2/6
"People who suffer real discrimination do not care about their pronouns. People do not identify as gay either. They either are gay or they are not. What does it mean that someone identifies as gay? Does it mean that they are not really gay? Being gay is not an identity." 3/6

Another #WhenICameOut thread for #NationalComingOutDay

"When I came out the first time, I was a young, bisexual of man of 19, surrounded by a community that was thriving and vibrant. The historic Hotel Washington had not yet burned down, and I was saying 'queer' not 'bi'.

"I would sneak into the bars of the Hotel Washington, from the scandalous Rod's to the upbeat New Bar. It was then that I first felt the joy of that community, but also first saw the schisms too. Yet we all wept when the Hotel burned down.

"I still remember the first time I watched Prince on MTV; I was wide-eyed and eight, and when he came out of the bathtub I knew, I just knew that 'I shouldn't be feeling like this!' Internalized homophobia came to me even before I knew what desiring a man meant.
