  2. "In the 1970s, in the wake of an emerging #secondwave #feminism, #women’s #magazines were expanding rapidly with a unique style. Their focus, however, tended to exclude #minorities. #Jewish women were seen as privileged “others”, not facing the same constraints as their #gentile peers. That’s why the #Winnipeg-born #SusanWeidmanSchneider founded #Lilith, a Jewish #feminist magazine, out of #NewYorkCity in 1976.

    Lilith was radical in many ways, tackling taboo subjects like #abortion and #gayrights from a female Jewish perspective. Now celebrating its 50th anniversary, Lilith has persevered as a community of #literary, engaged and often mature #Jewishwomen, hosting salons and creating a space for Jewish women to express themselves freely. To reflect on its impact, #WeidmanSchneider joins #PhoebeMaltzBovy on this week’s episode of #TheJewishAngle."

  7. Back in my day we used to have Log Cabin Republicans and the GOP used to pretend to tolerate it. The 90s #GayRights orthodoxy was "of course there are gay people of every political party. The Republicans rejecting those people left unusually many conservative democrats among the #LGBTQ community.

  8. In 1972, Jeanne Manford walked the Christopher Street Liberation Day Parade with her son Morty and a handmade sign: 'Parents of Gays: Unite.' Letters came from everywhere. PFLAG was the direct result. She lived to see marriage equality. Eight words. One movement. The love that got there first.

  24. Pete Buttigieg spent half of 2026 in five battleground states, building before anyone watched. At the National Action Network, Sharpton asked if he was running in 2028. Buttigieg: "You save me a seat." A gay married veteran may run — and the country that made it impossible is still making it hard.

  34. Police had been called before. They knew he'd threatened to drink the victim's blood. No arrest. No removal. On November 9th, a man forced his gay roommate to kneel at knifepoint and recorded it on his phone. He now faces life in prison. The victim's name is not trending.

  39. Gay People Are Part Of Every Family

    I was reminded this week of a truism. Gay people are a part of every family. One of the chief bullies from my high school years has a gay brother in a long-term committed relationship with his partner. Good for the brother. That fact intersects with my life, and to be honest, I hope that sitting down on this chilly and now rainy afternoon and writing will allow for some inner feelings to be explored about a painful chapter of my life with an ironic component. As a teenager, I was […]
