We are #GLSENProud to support those rallying across North Carolina today in opposition to HB 2! This dangerous law has stripped LGBT people of protections, lost the state millions in business, and has targeted transgender people across the state. We urge the North Carolina General Assembly to hear protesters’ demands and #RepealHB2. Add your voice!
The legislative session in the North Carolina General Assembly will officially begin on Monday. Tell lawmakers it’s time to repeal HB 2!
HB 2414 and SB 2387 are discriminatory and threaten the well-being of students, schools, and communities. Tell lawmakers in Tennessee to focus on improving schools, not legislating student bathrooms! http://glsen.us/1NmIw7y
I simply can’t understand legislation that adds another barrier to the success and safety of students by legislating which restroom I use. It’s time that we call on our elected officials to focus on things that actually matter, like supporting our educators, decreasing bullying and raising graduation rates. I shouldn’t have to think about the bathroom at school and neither should our elected officials.

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)!
