When Straight Couples Support Same-Sex Marriage
That’s a powerful statement! In all areas of equal rights for Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgenders, that is really the name of the game. We don’t need to simply talk about it, or demand equality. We need to each look at the ways in which we can take personal responsibility. We need to get engaged. Thanks Scott Stringer!
Lower Merion Township May Be First To Adopt Non-Discrimination Ordinance
The primary thing that stops movement on protections like this is a lack of knowledge, or ignorance. By giving voice to the realities of the benefits of non-discrimination to the community at large, fair-minded people overwhelmingly support non-discrimination.
Outing, 12 Steps, and the Fight for Equality
I tend to think the approach of confronting the “change argument” is also the wrong way to go. With no real way to prove either way that it is or isn’t a choice (to be gay), the real problem is overlooked entirely.

Cumberland Valley School Board Member Equates GSA to Nazis
The school had an active GSA several years ago, but it was disbanded after active members graduated. The move to block reinstatement demonstrate the growing activism of anti-gay force through school board action.
Ready, Set, Pride.
For some it is all celebration. For others, it is a time when they see the worst about the LGBT community, for others it is about visibility, and others it is about activism. and a list of “what Pride means” could be pages and pages long. Some within the LGBT community live all year waiting for Pride, others abhor it, and others seek to make Pride a way to live 365 days a year.
