I think it may have been scientifically proven that bell hooks always knows what’s up.

This is sad and true. In our 2009 National School Climate Survey, we found that LGBT youth avoid locker rooms and bathrooms more than anywhere else in school because they feel unsafe or uncomfortable there.

Johnny Galecki, regarding rumors about him being gay.

This is one of the best statements given by an actor.

I will always reblog this. Smartest answer EVER.

Waiting for the day when I can steal this line.

Last summer, CeCe McDonald, a young African American transgender woman, was violently attacked in the heart of South Minneapolis. As she and several friends, also African American and queer or allied, were walking to the grocery store, a group of white adults standing outside of a bar started shouting racist and transphobic insults at them, calling the youth “faggots,” “niggers,” and “chicks with dicks”. Tragically, the violence did not stop there- one of the white adults slashed CeCe across the face with a broken bottle, cutting all the way through her cheek, and another of the attackers was fatally stabbed.

Amazingly, in the aftermath of this racist and transphobic attack, the only person facing charges is CeCe McDonald- the victim.

the-fit-girl replied to your post: yeahhhh buddy! prop 8 ruled “unconstitutional”!!!

What does this really mean? Will gay marriage me legal? Does it affect one state or many? I don’t really understand the American system..

after only 6 months of gay-marriage being legal in the state of california, proposition 8 was passed (2008). it only affected california, and limited marriage to one man & one woman. while gays could/can be married in a civil service, it wouldn’t be recognized by law. today, the surpreme court ruled the ballot unconstitutional stating, “Proposition 8 served no purpose, and had no effect, other than to lessen the status and human dignity of gays and lesbians in California”. it’s the first time in american history where a group of people were granted a civil right and then it was taken away from them. ProtectMarriage (the group backing Prop8) have the right to appeal the ruling. now that the ban has been struck down, the supreme court will be able to rule on gay marriage as soon as next year.

basically, there are only a handful of states in this country where gay marriage is legal (recognized): New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Iowa, Vermont, and New Hampshire.

same-sex marriage is recognized only at the state level, as the federal defense of marriage act explicitly bars federal recognition of such marriages.

hopefully soon, our country will be able to rule gay-marraige a federal issue, not state. i can’t wait for this to be an issue of the past and for our country to be a place where everyone can live and love freely as we were intended to do so.

Although this is not the general topic of my blog, this is an issue about which I feel very strongly. I hope my followers will watch this and reblog it. Who knows, maybe it will even open someone’s eyes and cause them to pause and question their thinking. I hope so.
