The article reports “a new mood now taking hold among the nation’s homosexuals. In growing numbers they are publicly identifying themselves as homosexuals, taking a measure of pride in that identity and seeking militantly to end what they see as society’s persecution of them.”
We're kicking off #PrideMonth with a look back at our LGBTQIA+ Glossary, made in collaboration with @video_out, Polygraph, and Google News Initiative. https://t.co/dZmI56tes8
Did you know that visibility goes two ways? It's the state of being able to see or be seen. When we celebrate International Day of Trans Visibility, it's mostly about the world seeing trans people, recognizing their existence and warming to their identity.
Accept them for who they are and ask your community to do the same. Call your mayor/governor/senator, congressperson/city council/board of education -- demand that they be trans inclusive.
Choosing to live authentically can be a daunting move. But one thing we’ve heard time and time again from LGBTQIA+ folks all over the country is that it is the best choice they ever made.
You are not alone.
We love you. We see you. We are you.

If you're grieving the physical or emotional loss of loved ones right now, don't feel like you have to perform happiness. Take care of ur heart. Cry, scream, be still if you need to. Rest if you want to. If today can't be merry, may it be peaceful, gentle, and healing. Love you.
You are magical!
It’s #nationalcomplimentday and we want to spread some love! We hope you’ll take a moment to brighten someone’s day with a thoughtful sentiment AND that you will have your day brightened in return☀️
We love you! Happy Monday y’all!
On Martin Luther King Jr. Day we reflect on and gain inspiration from a man who, along with many others, forced the country to move forward, to change, to be better.
The Oscar Wilde Bookshop was founded by Craig Rodwell on November 24, 1967, as the Oscar Wilde Memorial Bookshop. Initially located at 291 Mercer Street, it moved in 1973 to the corner of Christopher Street and Gay Street in New York City's Greenwich Village neighborhood.
As a member and vice president of the #MattachineSociety, Rodwell sought to make Mattachine more visible to gays and society at large by opening a storefront to cater to the growing local gay community in Greenwich Village.
