GLSEN Pgh Invites You to Brainstorm! Trivia Night
GLSEN Pgh is working with On The Nose Events to redefine their fundraising and it worked! At least – this event caught my eye amidst the barrage of Facebook notifications I receive daily. So much that I asked GLSEN to tell me more about it. Brainstorm! is a trivia night – the type of event […]

When Do We Talk About Poverty in the LGBTQ Community?
It is only fitting that days after Amazon releases an “inclusive” commercial for their new Kindle, I am led to a series exploring the lives of transgender persons living on the brink (or deeply enmeshed in) poverty. The cause? Often related to their gender identity, especially in a fragile economy. “Transgender financial struggle: ‘How We […]

Last week, we reported on an issue with CBS using a trans slur in their sitcom “Mike & Molly” which stars actor Melissa McCarthy. The slur “shemale” was used by Mike in the show; McCarthy was not in the scene, but people called on her to speak out given the vicious attack she endured at […]

From CNN: Brendon Ayanbadejo talks NFL gay rights
There are so many wonderful quotes in this interview – his respectful inclusion of the trans community, awareness of international issues, his acnowledgement of his privilege, his understanding of how the Constitution works – this is an ally. And I love his description of masculine culture. “Everyone’s been talking to gay people our entire lives […]
Manager of Bar Where Alleged Queer Bashing Happened Needs to Talk With Police, Not Survivors
