Happy #ComingOutDay!

[Reckon @reckonnews]

For #ComingOutDay, these Alabamians talk about what it's like to come out in the South, and give advice to other LGBTQ+ folks about coming out.

.@LGBTProgress found that 73% of Title IX Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity complaints allege sexual or gender harassment. Considering Secretary Devos’s rollback of enforcement on sexual harassment and violence, this statistic is concerning! https://t.co/O3hWNTyXRp

When @MaraKeisling entered the movement 20 years ago, transgender people’s voices were not at the table. How much this has changed in 20 years is amazing to her. #eqfed19

In the last year, we trained over 40 Alabamians seeking to run for elected office, passed our 1st bipartisan supported resolutions condemning LGBTQ bullying in schools, and began talks on expanding municipal non-discrimination protections within our coalition work. #EQFED19

Happy #NationalNonbinaryDay! Great time for reminders:

💛 Intersex ≠ the same as/automatically nonbinary gender
💛 Intersex ≠ always wanting third gender/ID markers
💛 Some intersex people have nonbinary gender, some don't
💛 Body parts don't define gender
💜 YOU are valid

Three years. Three years without 49 of us. Say their names. Honor them with action. #Pulse #PulseOrlando #HonorThemWithAction #SayTheirNames

[Equality Alabama @equalityalabama]

In light of the #banned #Arthur episode, we’re elated to see our affirming faith leaders joining in choosing to lead the way in inclusiveness for LGBTQ youth representation!

[Southern Equality @SouthernEqual]

It's great to see people of faith in #Alabama coming together to support equality for #LGBTQ people in a way that models for young people the importance of treating all people with respect. #LoveWins https://t.co/DdkAqyumZ3 #LGBTSouth

@matthewmercer @executivegoth @CriticalRole have y’all have seen the news about @APTV’s decision to censor Mr. Ratburn from Arthur? Any chance y’all know any of the voice actors? LGBTQ content isn’t adult content. It’s time to tell our stories - for us & our kids. @PBS

[Equality Alabama @equalityalabama]

It’s time to invest and direct resources to Alabama rather than boycott and divest. Thanks to @theknot and @WeddingWire for choosing to invest in the lives of LGBTQ Alabamians by supporting us! Help us do this work! Check out their fundraiser here: https://t.co/TRNoRNpiYX

[Equality Alabama @equalityalabama]

LGBTQ representation isn’t adult content. It’s time to stop acting like it is. Censoring affirming queer experiences from youth and children is harmful. It’s time to let our kids see themselves.

[GLAAD @glaad]

.@APTV director of programming Mike McKenzie refused to broadcast an episode of Arthur that featured a gay couple getting married. This is homophobia, plain and simple.

[Human Rights Campaign Rapid Response @HRC]

BREAKING: The House of Representatives has passed the historic #EqualityAct.

It’s the first time a chamber of Congress has approved a comprehensive LGBTQ civil rights bill that would finally provide clear, nationwide protections for LGBTQ people throughout daily life.
