Linda Harvey, an anti-LGBT extremist, said some ridiculous things about Day of Silence and LGBT people. So, naturally we had to fact-check her.

And show off just a small fraction of the powerful, courageous, and world-changing people who are using Day of Silence to take a stand and make a difference.

Whose side are you on?

I wish my school had a GSA. How do you think I should suggest the idea of it to the principal? I go to a public school in central Texas, and I am in seventh grade. Our school is only from 6-8, so I'll be out of this place in only a bit more than a year. But I want future students, as well as the kids now, to have a place and an organisation in which they can feel safe and loved. Should I gather a group of some of my LGBTQ/LGBTQ-supportive friends/teachers to ask?

That’s a great idea! Talking to your administration will be much easier with supportive friends and teachers by your side. Chat with your peers about why you think having a GSA will be helpful in your school, and then get a faculty member to agree to be a sponsor. After, ask your new sponsor to help set up a meeting with the administration to discuss starting a GSA! Hopefully, things will go over smoothly and you can start making changes at your school!

Both The Wall Street Journal and CBS Radio summed up the night’s theme with one word: triumph.

Every year, we’re blown away by our partners, participants, and supporters who are working with us to make schools safer for all students regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.

If you couldn’t join us in NYC for the Respect Awards, here’s a glimpse of the night.

Asian and Pacific Islander LGBTQ+ Resources

May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month! Before we get on with the post, it’s important to note that these are two groups of diverse people who are very unique in many ways! However, in light of the month, (and mainly due to the fact that a lot of the resources available online are for both groups), here is a compilation of resources for Asian and Pacific Islander LGBTQ+ people! Other masterposts can be found here (and don’t hesitate to add anything if you have resources to contribute)!

“DISABILITY PRIDE” – “WE CAN’T PARK HERE BECAUSE YOU DID,” Eric von Schmetterling representing ADAPT, March on Washington for Lesbian, Gay and Bi Equal Rights, Washington, D.C., April 25, 1993. Photo © Fred W. McDarrah. ADAPT (formerly Americans Disabled for Accessible Public Transit and Americans Disabled Attendant Programs Today), established in the 1970s in Denver, is a grassroots organization within the disability rights movement that emphasizes direct action to bring greater visibility to the fight for the rights of Americans with disabilities. On July 26, 1990, twenty-six years ago today, as a result of the work of organizations like ADAPT, President George H.W. Bush signed into law the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). While disability rights advocates emphasize that much work remains, the ADA widely was considered a remarkable first step toward the ultimate goal of equal access for Americans with physical and mental impairments. #lgbthistory #lgbtherstory #lgbttheirstory #lgbtpride #queerhistorymatters #haveprideinhistory (at Washington, District of Columbia)
