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
the first Pride movement.

Download & print our brochure to share with other LGB folks. Make videos & share them with us on social. Want to write an article about your personal experiences? We’d love to post it on our site, email us for submission details (info@lgbausa.org)!
We also respect those who wish to remain anonymous. Every voice counts. Every action counts. But we have to speak up together.

Make your voice heard by using the hashtag #SpeakUpLGB and tag us @LGBAlliance_USA.

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.
