His shirt reads “They gave me a medal for killing two men, and a discharge for loving one.”
HOW DOES THIS HAVE ONLY THIRTEEN NOTES
Oh, I’m sure this one can do better ;)

It’s doing a lot better.
Much better
URGENT ALERT: In Alabama, teachers are forced by law to lie to their students and say that being gay is a criminal offence. We have a chance right now to end this terrible law.
Lesbian, gay, bi, and questioning youth in Alabama are being fed this false information that hurts their mental and physical health, and makes it more likely they’ll be bullied or worse.
Alabama lawmakers now have in front of them a new bill to strike this anti-gay section from the law, but there’s only a few weeks before this session is over. If they don’t feel the pressure from the public and the media, this bill will languish in committee and we won’t have another chance before 2014.Tell the tell Alabama lawmakers to pass the “Hate Doesn’t Belong in the Classroom” bill (HB 496) before the next class of students graduates. Sign and share now!

This should have thousands of notes.

I reblog this every time it comes up on my dash. Such a powerful message.
So, it is all explained really by the photo. I really wanted to make sure this got out, and I have only seen this pop up rarely, when last year it was HUGE. And myself, being a tiny blog, couldn’t really get it any notices, so I was wondering if you could share it. If your blog does, it will reach out to thousands of people who could help. Anyways, it is ok if you don’t, but I would be really grateful if you did or maybe spread it to some friends.

Facing Our Oppressors
Wilfred de Bruijn, a Dutch man living in France for 10 years, was the victim of a brutal attack in Paris while he was “walking arm in arm” with his boyfriend. Here his face is bloated, seeped in blood, his bruised right eye shut tight, his tooth broken. His is one of the latest cases of homophobia in France, where LGBT activists say reports of verbal and physical assaults have surged as lawmakers consider a bill legalizing same-sex marriage.
This is Coy Mathis, a transgender 6 year old living in Colorado. It just so happens that my brother is in her class at Eagleside Elementary School in Fountain, Colorado. When I asked my brother how he felt about Coy he said, “She’s got really cool hair and we play on the slides at recess.” I asked what he thought about Coy’s decision to be a girl and he said, “She is a girl. She just got the wrong body on accident.” How is a 6 year old more understanding and accepting of her than many of the adults at Eagleside Elementary?
I love hearing good things from my state n.n

My Facebook and G+ newsfeeds have been filled with pink and red lately, so it seemed important to point out to the queer and allied in my life that Human Rights Campaign actually has a track record of promoting some rights at the expense of others. Being a fairly rough-and-tumble sort of cisgender queer man, I waded in.
It’s frankly unconscionable; transgender rights are integral to queer liberation, and moreover transfolks are our sisters and brothers, have shed the same blood, sweat, and tears in horrifying numbers for the same goals. The fact that names like Virginia Prince and Sylvia Rae Rivera aren’t as prominent in our histories as Harvey Milk says, I think, all it needs to about the need for some pink and purple soul-searching. Go forth and introspect.
Visually, too, I think the HRC equality logo leaves a bit to be desired, but I made minimal changes. The colors are based on the transgender pride flag designed by Monica Helms in 1999, the most widely used of several designs and to my eye, the most pleasing.
Considering that HRC seems to be continuing to give lip service to trans folks while throwing them under the bus, this is important and timely.
People need to know that the most visible LGBT “equality” organization out there continues to only fight for gay and lesbian equality at the expense of everyone else.
Trans allies, please repost. (And don’t give money to HRC.)The lack of notes on this is troubling to me.

So many tears.
[series of gifs of women talking: “Comm rumors about lesbains that I would like to dispel:” “It’s not really sex.” “Are you sure? You don’t look like a lesbian.” “Something happened to them to make them gay.” “Guys that bats that say I’m a lesbian too. Can I join?” “Have you not been fucked right by a guy?” “Oh so, you hate guys? No I love guys. I just don’t want them in my bed.”]
Kameron Slade, a fifth-grader from Queens, NY, was scheduled to deliver a speech as part of a school-wide competition at PS 195. But when the principal learned Kameron’s speech was about same-sex marriage, he was ordered to choose a new topic or lose the opportunity to speak. (via)
I’ve been annoyed over this ever since I first saw it on the news. I love this kid though. He totally gives me hope that the next generation will be more tolerant of gays.
Kameron - You’re my hero! =D
