Throwing up in my mouth a lot after watching @WCVB's advertorial for the Plymouth, MA #thanksgiving parade as if there are NO complicated feelings around that site/this holiday/this mythology, WHATSOEVER. Do better: news, not propaganda. Not one mention of indigenous peoples?
Republicans have introduced a bill to ban “exposure to transgenderism” for everyone under the age of 10, and describes trans people as inherently “sexual”
This means removing trans people from American society. We are one lost election away from genocidal detention camps.
So excited for next week's @SpeakOUTBoston 50th Anniversary Celebration of 50 years of telling #proudstories of #lgbtqiaplus lives to make change. Some great people are going to be there to be honored and to entertain--hope you can join us! https://t.co/Z7YcXwiamk #queerboston
Thanks to good friend @PeterTPiazza for spreading the word with this tweet: “In 2022, there's been 23 state bills targeting LGBTQ+ identities in public schools, like FL's "Don't say gay" law.
If you find this upsetting (& you should)consider donating to @SpeakOUTBoston.” #MAEdu
I hope you will support and spread the word about @SpeakOUTBoston’s 50th anniversary at a time when #LGBTQIA+ stories are needed now, maybe more than ever. Thank you; please share widely. https://t.co/93FXjJYCEB
Honestly? I'm too tired, most years, from the day-to-day, week-to-week, month-to-month stuff I try to do for #BiVisibility to do much extra for #BiVisibilityMonth. So, I am SO grateful to those of you who go the extra. #BiTwitter#BiMenExist#BiMen
@SarahHall1975 Could be that they had a loved one/ones on military or other mandatory service and are just now able to celebrate Christmas together. (Or there were other health/travel restrictions until now.)
@MistyGedlinske It's almost as if they weren't truly ever taking Protestantism to heart, at all, and were just content to be told what it said, and what it meant. I knew FAR more about the text in grad school at UVA than ALL of my non-Catholic classmates. Strange.
@MistyGedlinske In my experience (raised Roman Catholic (Irish variant) and educated by Jesuits in a literature degree, I am always ASTOUNDED by how little evangelical "Christians" seem to know about the actual text of the Bible, despite all those prayer group and Sunday school sessions.
Gaining traction. I esp. encourage fellow alums of @holy_cross to sign and indicate class year in the comments. Stay focused on the specific failure of judicial ethics, regardless of any other views on #ClarenceThomas ://www.change.org/HolyCrossRescindThomasHonoraryDegree
@SpeakOUTBoston is celebrating its 50th anniversary! We create change by sharing the #ProudStories of #LGBTQIAplus people. On today's #SpeakOUTDay, please support our work against hate in schools, colleges, faith communities, & more! Thank you! https://t.co/Sa4IYUrFij
SpeakOUT is a community of speakers working to create a world free of homo-bi-transphobia and other prejudice by telling the truths of LGBTQ+ lives. We share our stories in schools, colleges, businesses & organizations through our in-person and virtual programs.#SpeakOUTDay
Your gift on #SpeakOUTDay helps continue our 50-year legacy of telling the truths of #LGBTQ lives. From schools, colleges, businesses, faith communities & more, our speakers share powerful personal stories & create safer spaces. https://t.co/35hg6ueU57
Over the last 50 years, our speakers shared their stories during the AIDS crisis, the fight for marriage equality, the fight against Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, and the fight for trans rights. We continue to speak out against the rash of laws targeting #LGBTQ people. #SpeakOUTDay
Our speakers are committed to our motto: Ask Us Anything. We answer all questions to the best of our ability & we create a safe space to ask questions that people may not have any other place to ask them. #SpeakOUTDay
Our scholarships may be small, but they can help to take the edge off the financial burden that all students are dealing with. If we can grow the scholarship program we would love to provide even more support for LGBTQ+ students! #SpeakOUTDay
