Re-blog to support Jason Collins, who has become the first openly gay male athlete playing in a major American team sport!
Jason says he wears jersey #98 to honor Matthew Shepard and The Trevor Project (we were founded in 1998).
The Rhode Island Senate just voted 26-12 to approve marriage equality, guaranteeing that The Ocean State will be the 10th state to allow same-sex couples to legally marry. Because the Senate made some revisions to the bill, it still requires a final passage in the Rhode Island House, which will likely happen next Thursday. Back in January, it passed easily there by an overwhelming 51-19 vote. Gov. Lincoln Chafee (I) has promised to sign the bill.

The Rainbow Crosswalks Of Sydney, Australia
A popular rainbow crosswalk has been suddenly removed from Sydney, Australia’s gay and lesbian district because the city claimed it was a traffic hazard. The crosswalk was created to honor the 35th anniversary of the gay and lesbian carnival, and supporters want to keep the crosswalk because they say it serves as a symbol of the city’s tolerance.
In response to the city removing the crosswalk, people have started creating their own rainbow crosswalks.
The public gallery broke into a traditional Maori love song after the announcement that the same-sex marriage bill had passed for New Zealand.
Excuse me while I go cry
CHILLS
manga-nerd asked: Currently I donate monthly to the HRC. Lately, however, I've been hearing that they prioritize "normal" LGBT people, silence the voices of non-conformers, are mainly concerned with marriage equality, etc. Do you have any suggestions for other organizations or charities where my money would be put to better use? Thanks.
Will: there are so many charities its hard to choose. I mean you have the Gay & Lesbian Leadership Institute, Astraea Lesbian Foundation for Justice, The Point Foundation, The Empowering Spirits Foundation, and so many more. So good luck. You can also help your local charities that support the community. :D
today my friend said that he was going to do an impersonation of a gay man and i got ready for some homophobic high pitched comment about clothes but instead he just said in the exact same tone without expression “i am attracted to men”
This was forwarded to me, so I’m passing it on. There is more info that was in the email but should be available via the people doing the study if you’re curious for more details:
We are doing a research study about transgender men’s’ experiences with pregnancy. We are surveying people who identify as transgender men (assigned female at birth with a transmasculine/ transmale/ female-to-male gender identity) who have been pregnant and delivered a baby. If you self-identify with this population, then we would like to invite you to participate in this study.
If you choose to be in the study, you will complete an online survey. It will take about 20 minutes to complete. The questions will relate to your experience with fertility, conception, pregnancy, and birth. To be eligible for the study you must be over 18 years old and have completed a pregnancy within the past 10 years.
You can skip questions that you do not want to answer or stop the survey at any time. The survey is anonymous, and no one will be able to link your answers back to you. Please do not include your name or other information that could be used to identify you in the survey responses.
Questions? Please contact the study coordinator Lexi Light (415-206-6453, LightA@obgyn.ucsf.edu) or the principal investigator Dr. Jennifer Kerns (415-206-3157, KernsJL@obgyn.ucsf.edu). If you have questions or concerns about your rights as a research participant, you can call the UCSF Committee on Human Research at 415-476-1814.
Being in this study is optional. If you want to participate, click this link to start the survey: https://redcap.ucsfopenresearch.org/surveys/?s=c4SXLP.
This looks incredibly interesting. It’s good that research on this sort of topic is being done, since a lot of medical research completely ignores the existence of trans* people, especially those that use their reproductive systems.
Signal boosting!

Ellen’s just like “Don’t even lie to me. I went on ‘trips’ with plenty of girls and we were ‘just friends’. I AM ELLEN, DON’T YOU DARE HIDE YOUR GAY IN MY PRESENCE.”
^ “DON’T YOU DARE HIDE YOUR GAY IN MY PRESENCE.” I literally thought Gandalf the Grey.
YOU SHALL NOT PASS [as heterosexual]!
Ellen is Gandalf the Gay
GANDALF THE GAY
For the fucking comments oh my GOD.
Ellen can smell your gay from miles away.
