Whoah. In one day of #GayIsOK we reached 33,985,300 people. Our goal was 10 million, but let’s make it 100 MILLION people speaking out for love and equality. What do you say?

This is what it’s like to be trans in far too many countries across Europe. Spread the word.
Cutest grandparents, maybe ever?
Brilliant. This Irish paper store is making confetti out of anti-gay leaflets, and the proceeds are going to YesEquality.
Maggie, a 3rd grader from Texas, has a lot to say about marriage equality - and she sent her thoughts to congress:
“Dear Congress,
Would you like it if someone wouldn’t let you get married to a person you loved of your own gender? No. So why are you not letting people do that? That needs to change, and it needs to change now. Would you rather me send letters all year? Or you listen the first time? Your choice.”
Agreed, Maggie.

Iceland; I salute you.
but by buying the tickets they are in fact supporting the preacher. he basically got all their money without having to give his sermon.
The tickets were free, you just had to reserve them. Then they reserved all of them.
So it was just a huge “fuck you” to that guy. Super rad!ah, thank you! i didn’t know it was free

Did you know Google Translate suggests the words “faggot”, “fairy”, and “poof” as direct meanings of the words “gay” and “homosexual”?! Check out this translation.
Google already has the technology to filter out hateful language - typing “female” doesn’t throw up sexist words - and 500 million people use Google Translate every month. That’s a lot of people being taught these insults.
Add your name to sign and tell Google to remove this anti-gay language!

Virginia could pass a law that allows doctors, teachers, and all businesses to deny service to gay, lesbian, and bi people under the guise of “religious freedom”. In the face of progress for marriage equality, this is how anti-gay groups are fighting back.
If we can convince members of the voting committee to vote ‘no’, it will never see the light of day. We need a giant public outcry right now to show the committee that citizens in Virginia and around the country are paying attention.
Can you add your name to this petition?
(Thank you to Silver for the illustration!)

I’m eating a tall bowl of purple mac and cheese past midnight because I am astronomically asexual and exist to spite god

Conservatives when a baker refuses to serve a gay couple:
Yeah that’s fine! It’s not discrimination at all.
Conservatives when a store refuses to serve them because they aren’t wearing a mask during a pandemic:
No! That’s taking️ away my rights you should serve everyone I don’t have to wear a mask to be served you need to serve me anyways
If you are not sure where to start, here are some civic engagement tasks you can do some or all of today:
1) GIVE TO ADAPT
–http:www.adapt.org/donate This will help them continue to organize disabled activists and disability advocates on the ground protesting in DC and to recruit more people to help them with this action– they have been responsible for organizing and supporting many of the folks you have seen photos of protesting, getting arrested, and dragged out of buildings in DC these past weeks and they need our support to keep working to protect disabled rights (and the rest of our rights, too).
2) CALL YOUR SENATORS
IF YOU ARE CALLING A DEMOCRATIC SENATOR:
–Call your senator and thank them for fighting against all efforts to repeal the ACA without a bill that actually improves healthcare. –Let them know you support a single payer system (if you do).
–Let them know that you will NOT support any bill that increases premiums or the number of uninsured people, or any bill that excludes care for any minority group (you may want to mention transgender health by name) or excludes support for reproductive health.
–Express your distress over the DOJ’s decision to interpret Title VII as not protecting people from discrimination based on sexual orientation and that you believe it should also protect people based on gender identity as well.
IF YOU ARE CALLING COLLINS (ME), MURKOWSKI (AK), OR MCCAIN (AZ)
–Call them and thank them for fighting against all efforts to repeal the ACA without a bill that actually improves healthcare.
–Let them know you support a single payer system (if you do).
–Let them know that you will NOT support any bill that increases premiums or the number of uninsured people, or any bill that excludes care for any minority group (you may want to mention transgender health by name) or excludes support for reproductive health.
–Let them know that you appreciate that they crossed party lines to do the right thing and ask them to continue to demand bipartisan cooperation on any new healthcare bill.
–Express your distress over the DOJ’s decision to interpret Title VII as not protecting people from discrimination based on sexual orientation and that you believe it should also protect people based on gender identity as well.
IF YOU ARE CALLING COLLINS (ME) OR MURKOWSKI (AK)
–Let them know that you appreciate their steadfastness in the face of threats and insults from their own party and encourage them to keep working for better healthcare. Tell them that they have your support.
IF YOU ARE CALLING MCCAIN (AZ
)–Let him know that you appreciate his efforts against the skinny repeal and to draw attention to procedural breakdown in the Senate but that his methods were not compassionate toward the people whose healthcare was dependent upon this vote and that he owes it to his constituents to be up front about his voting choices and that there are kinder ways to achieve the same ends.
IF YOU ARE CALLING A REPUBLICAN SENATOR WHO IS NOT ONE OF THE ABOVE:
–Tell them that unless they do a real 180 on healthcare, you will be voting against them.
–Let them know you support a single payer system (if you do).
–Let them know that you will NOT support any bill that increases premiums or the number of uninsured people, or any bill that excludes care for any minority group (you may want to mention transgender health by name) or excludes support for reproductive health.
–Let them know that you expect them to do a better job of inviting bipartisan work on this bill.
–Let them know that you expect them to do a better job of defending their own party members from insults within their party and that the way fellow Republicans have treated Murkowski and Collins is unacceptable.
–Express your distress over the DOJ’s decision to interpret Title VII as not protecting people from discrimination based on sexual orientation and that you believe it should also protect people based on gender identity as well.
3) CALL YOUR YOUR HOUSE REP:
–Express your feelings about their record on healthcare to this point.
–Ask them to vote NO on any healthcare bill that increases premiums or the number of uninsured Americans.
–Ask them to vote NO any bill that excludes care for any minority group (you may want to mention transgender health by name) or excludes support for reproductive health.
–Let them know you support a single payer system (if you do).
–Express your distress over the DOJ’s decision to interpret Title VII as not protecting people from discrimination based on sexual orientation and that you believe it should also protect people based on gender identity as well.
4) CALL YOUR GOVERNOR AND STATE REP(S):
–Tell them that you would like to see state healthcare legislation in the event that the ACA is removed.
–Let them know you support a single payer system for your individual state (if you do).
–Ask them to ensure that reproductive health, LGBT health, and healthcare for the disabled are protected.
–Ask them to ensure that pre-existing condition exclusions are not welcome in your state.
–Ask them to ensure that caps on annual or lifetime coverage are not welcome in your state.
–Ask them to ensure that large employers MUST pay toward insurance for employees in your state.
–Ask them to work on making sure that civil rights laws in your state protect people from discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
Hey guys, so its been a long time coming but I’m finally on the journey for top surgery.
I don’t know the exact cost yet but I know it’s between 8k and 15k, which is a really big gap.
Whilst I could easily save this much up - I have bills, rent and meds to pay for, I also need to pay to eat, which is absolute bull (jk)
anyway, the point of this post is that I started a gofundme for my top surgery. I don’t want to pressure anyone to donate, but if y'all could share this around that’d be nice?
I don’t expect to meet my goal of 5k, but even 1k would help tbh. it’s a lot of money, I know, and if you donate feel free to message me and I will send you a picture of my pets as a thankyou.
Thanks guys :)
Support my buddy Seb!
Why have people started saying Folx as an alternative to Folks? Folks was never gendered?
