sparkindarknessBecause we all need it now and then
UK to make sex education compulsory (though faith schools can keep their education ‘congruous’ with their beliefs. Poor kids). INCLUDING STDs, AND Gay relationships. Ignorance kills, this is a wonderful development.
opened, funded by the lottery fund, that brings 101 UK gay groups together in one place. (So many links! So little time to read them all!!!!) It’s sad that it’s based only in the Southwest - but this is what we need across the country
British Museum will be hosting events for GBLT history month. The event is on Nov 19th though GBLT history month is February - so don‘t get the calendars mixed up (insert shortest month joke here)
3rd Conference for GBLT Armed forces 3rd-4th December. It’s amazing that after so long where gays were banned from the military that this can now happen.
They may be ridiculous bigots - but damn it’s amusing to see them slapped down Really, you don’t need to satirise them, they are just so obviously ridiculous.
Teacher who was suspended for setting “controversial” paper on homosexuality in the animal kingdom has been reinstated after student protest
Lesbian mothers in Tasmania get legal recognition
US senate committee holds hearing on bill to protect GBLT people from discrimination in employment
Tampa city council votes for protection for trans people
Detroit elects openly gay councilman
Voters in Washington improve extended gay rights for gay couples
There is good news out there. The fight is been won - and it is worth fighting. Don’t let anyone dismiss, distract or devalue the battle for equality or justice.
