After the Supreme Court’s Obergefell decision declared that bans on same-sex marriage are unconstitutional, other kinds of pushback censured the practice, argues @ProfMMurray on episode 5. @RisaGoluboff @lckendrick https://t.co/7ojB3kuOIy
No child should suffer because of who they are.
All children deserve love, protection & equal rights, including the right to an education free of discrimination & bullying.
On #TransDayOfVisibility, join @UNAIDS in calling for the rights of transgender children to be protected.
If you need a reminder of how long LGBTQ+ people have been fighting for basic equality, @shoeleatherkate and I interviewed the original cosponsors of the 1974 Equality Act 2 years ago. It was hard to find sources to talk to, because many of them were dead.

I was weeping in the research room of the National Archives. I'd taken a pause from exhibition research to see if I could learn more about the earliest of my Bunch ancestors whose name I know: Candis Bunch.

As a Christian who is gay, #12News reporter Josh Sanders spent many years undergoing "conversion therapy" in hopes of turning straight. @JoshSandersTV opens up about that experience and what he wants parents to know. See the entire story right now on https://t.co/VTt4ixUuCW.

I dunno. I admit I didn't really listen cause I was thinking: Is this a car ad? Ford? GM? Wait, is that Springsteen? He looks skinny. What's up with the hat? He's from Jersey. Oh, Jeep! Yep. What did he say? Was that another poem?
On this day in 1896, a white mob killed Patrick and Charlotte “Lottie” Morris by setting their home in Louisiana on fire because they were an interracial couple. To overcome racial inequality, we must confront our history. Share this #racialinjustice https://t.co/h6Mobsxjuq

Wherever you are. In your own way.
Today's the day. I'm starting a daily minute of silence to send strength to those fighting Covid and those fighting to avoid it. And love to all those we've lost. Join me. tnx @jghellum
Thanks #WomensArt Didn't know Tove Jansson's story. She her partner lived separately, in neighboring blocks, visiting each other privately through an attic passageway. This is a reminder of how far we have come. #lgbtqia

Throughout his eight years in the White House, @BarackObama championed LGBTQ issues like no president before him. He built momentum, and we can get it back by electing pro-equality candidates at the local, state and national levels. #FiredUp#DemConvention https://t.co/tLhsXoZPKS
