Anyone in the LGBTQ community who is in need of legal services should head over to this event if you can!!

Target has just pulled numerous LGBTQIA products and merchandise off the shelves following several threats made against Target employees. It's really sad that hateful people can actually influence the way companies market Pride month. Link to story: google.com/amp/s/www.nbcn…

"Love is Love" is an amazing comic anthology by DC Comics that dealt with the aftermath of the Pulse Nightclub shooting in Orlando. It teaches readers how to be more expressive of tolerance and love, and also deals with the impact incidents like this have on the LGBTQ community.

The road leading to equal rights for the LGBTQ community cannot be complete without expanding it to women as well. Laws restricting access to reproductive care for women could pave the way for laws restricting equal rights for LGBTQ minorities. thehill.com/policy/healthc…

Remember that you are you. Nobody can take away that side of you that is so unique. So be who you want to be. Identify how you want to. Love who you want to. Live your life freely! 🌈❤️

This month is Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM). What is something that you or your community could be doing to raise awareness for this important cause and time of the year? nsvrc.org/saam

The GLSEN 2019 National School Climate Survey showed that Ohio schools were not safe for most LGBTQ high schoolers. We as citizens should ensure that our schools are inclusive for everyone regardless of gender identity and sexual orientation. google.com/url?sa=t&sourc…

Never be afraid of what somebody else says or thinks about you. You have every right to explore and embrace yourself and nobody, be it family or friends or strangers, can take that away from you.

While one should have the access to "detrans" surgery if they truly want it, a holiday to celebrate detransitioning would justify anti-LGBTQ sentiments to flare up around the country.

An Ohio GOP rep just introduced legislation to designate a "Detrans Observance Day." Can we as citizens please oppose it? thebuckeyeflame.com/2023/03/20/an-…

If you are or know someone who is trans and support LGBTQ rights, then please speak out against the bills pending in the Ohio statehouse that would take away basic services helping Ohioans embrace their preferred gender identity and sexuality. nbc4i.com/news/ohio-lawm…

With so many more people coming out as LGBTQ in Ohio, we have to ensure that we have the healthcare and education services many people need to understand their sexuality and gender identity nbc4i.com/news/local-new…

This is crazy. BBC News - World Athletics bans transgender female athletes from competing in female world ranking events bbc.co.uk/sport/athletic…

Rachel Glines, a transgender woman, is now standing trial for using the restroom in the Xenia YMCA that aligned with her gender. It's unclear whether she was post-op, but hopefully an acquittal would mean less restrictions against trans rights in Ohio. daytondailynews.com/local/fairborn…
