There are many discussions going on (on tumblr)...
projectqueer:
Can anyone rightfully justify this for me?
Now, I know that there are other terms that one can use to describe ignorance/hatred towards the homosexual community, like ‘heterosexism’ - for example. But how does one justify the word ‘homophobia’ as ableist? I do not get it.
The simple fact is: There are people in the world who fear the gay community. They are taught this fear,...

LGBT activist David Kato was found murdered this week after a local paper published his photograph and called for his hanging. In a country where being with your partner is a crime, Kato was one of the few strong voices standing up for civil rights.

Another wonderful pronouncements from on high. Televangelist megastar Sean McDowell tells his followers that parents who decide to love and accept their gay kids are just going to bury them after they die from AIDS. Lovely. Video below..

Vote for GLSEN, please! The organization needs your help. There are only 4 days left to vote, and they’re in 3rd place. Only the top 2 ideas win. I know there are tons of LGBT-friendly people on tumblr, so this should be reblogged like crazy! :)
Every vote counts and matters. GLSEN does amazing work — trying to make K-12 schools safe for everyone regardless of sexual orientation...

VIDEO: ‘Gays Need Not Apply.’ So We Applied. →
The National Organization for Marriage’s sister organization, the Ruth Institute (just as fringy as NOM), is running a “Reel Love” contest. (Recall our investigation of the Ruth Institute.) They’re asking folks to send in video testimonials on what love means to them and if lifelong love is possible.
According to rules and regulations of the contest, content submitted must convey “how...

This is my friend Elliot and his boyfriend, Ross. Today, Elliot was expelled from his school because the administration found out he’s gay. Someone sent the principal printouts of his facebook conversations with Ross. He was confronted and asked if he was gay. He denied it. He had to go before the school board to try and convince them he’d repented of his sin and...

Submission
Today while playing barbies and kens with my brother and sister I decided to do a little experiment. I started dressing up the boys in girl clothes and vice versa and it surprised me how mature my 6 & 8 year old siblings are. Admittedly we had a bit of a laugh but they weren’t being silly or over the top with it.
Then my brother decided to pick up two ken dolls and start to imitate...

FYLGBT on Bobby Griffith
To preface this, this is a 1 page reflection I wrote for English class about a modern day tragic hero. Whenever I get the opportunity, I bring up an LGBT issue at school, such as asking if French has gender neutral pronouns, bringing up DADT on a history paper of women soldiers in the Civil War, or explaining Sodom and Gomorrah’s notorious mistranslations in Theology. So far, the only...

lollimops asked: My mum is otherwise supportive of my androgyny and drag king tendencies, but absolutely forbids me to bind my chest on the grounds that if I bind for even one hour, I'll get breast cancer.
I've read your ~Ten Binding Commandments~ but saw nothing about breast cancer.
Do you have any sources that can prove or disprove this?

My best friend
I’ve known my best friend since we were in diapers. His name is Nathan and he is the most amazing person I’ve ever known. We’re now both in college and he is in a steady relationship with and amazing guy. When Nathan was 13 he came out to his very strict, christian parents. They told him that they wouldn’t accept having an abomination living in their house. I remember...

When my brother and I came out to each other

My brother was in 8th grade, I was in 7th when this happened. He had just gotten suspended for fighting. We were playing NBA Jams on Sega Genesis, waiting for our parents to come home, at which point he would get in trouble again.
Me: Why were you fighting him anyway? He’s like, 5 inches taller than you. Big Bro: I know. He kept calling me gay, and then he yelled “faggot” and I...

I need your help.
space-cat:
My girlfriend is not out to her mother yet. She really wants to come out, but she can’t even find a way to do it because her mum is so judgemental and closed-minded. One time, Bec was sitting in the lounge watching The L Word, and her mother asked what she was watching. When Bec told her, her mother went on a huge rant about how wrong it is to be gay, and how gay people should just...

dailylgbt asked: Hey there, we're a new tumblr LGBT collaboration. It's going to be weekly topics discussed, one person designated to a day. We're brand new and we'd just like to get known, hoping to get our other five days filled. It'd be great if you could promote us? Thanks again. :)
