So, I've been downloading #GBLTQ resources and historical documents (including #QueerTalk, a radio show on #WMPG hosted by one of my first friends after I moved to #Maine). Why am I doing this? Because I don't trust #Trump and fiends to be in charge of public university archives. I'll be uploading those precious digital records to the @internetarchive soon. So grateful IA are there to be an independent repository of #History and #Culture! 📚 🎧 🎥

#PortlandME - #KindlingCollective: #Queer #Bikepacking #AdventureDay
July 11, 2026
10:00 am – 4:00 pmCost: $5 - $15
"Do you like riding bikes? Do you like camping? Ever wanted to experiment with doing them together? Bikepacking is a way to do both! Bikepacking consists of strapping & packing gear onto your bike and then going someplace– enabling you to go out overnight or on longer adventures using your bike.
At this event we will:
- Play around with loading gear onto your bike
- Skill-share about bikepacking
- Go on a fun little (9 mile) ride togetherThis event is for people who have never biked with gear/weight and are looking to learn a bit about bikepacking, AND for people who have some experience bikepacking and would like to share their knowledge.
Experience required: ablity to ride a bicycle
Equipment required: a bicycle that fits you!
Queer events are designed as an affinity spaces for queer and trans people of all racial identities. If you think you might be queer or trans, you are queer enough. While we love our allies and advocates, if you’re not queer, don’t come to these events."

Federal Judge Blocks #Idaho Law Criminalizing #Transgender Bathroom Use
Six transgender residents claimed that the #BathroomBan, the most restrictive in the nation, violated their constitutional rights.
By Amy Harmon, June 16, 2026
Excerpt: "Twenty states besides Idaho restrict transgender people from using bathrooms that align with their gender identity, according to the #MovementAdvancementProject, which tracks state-level legislation on #LGBTQ issues. But the restrictions elsewhere apply only to schools and colleges, government-owned buildings and public places like parks and airports.
"Idaho’s measure is viewed as the most restrictive such law in the nation because of its broad application and because of the penalties it imposes. Repeat violators face up to five years in prison. The law covers restrooms in all publicly owned buildings as well as privately owned settings such as restaurants, retail stores and business offices. It includes bathrooms with a single stall. Idaho’s law also applies more immediately, including no provision like the one in #Florida that requires a transgender person to refuse to leave a bathroom that does not match their sex at birth in order to establish a violation.
"State officials argue that even if the law is challenging to enforce, it is not unconstitutionally vague because it is clear about what must be proved. They noted that a person’s biological sex could be determined later through objective means, such as a birth certificate or DNA testing, even if it cannot be done at the scene."

So, TIL about #Jobriath (#BruceWayneCampbell) who was the first openly #Gay rock star (and who died of #AIDS in 1983). #NYMike on #WMPG highlighted Jobriath and other #Gay musicians on today's #MindFuzz!

Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus, and then there is #NonBinary…
International Non-Binary People’s Awareness Day
Published in 2025"In Africa, we have the existence of non-binary as far back as there were humans on the continent. Throughout various cultures. The different languages and terminology such as non-binary, #GenderQueer, #Agender and #Genderfluid may not have existed– but the people were there! There is evidence of different genders on the continent long before #colonisers arrived.
What is Non-Binary
While non-binary people generally identify themselves as being outside the binary of male:female, there are many ways to be non-binary: some identify as a third gender, while others identify with more than one gender, both genders, no gender (agender), being fluid between the genders (genderfluid), or having a gender identity that is fluid and changes. Non-binary people see gender as a spectrum, rather than a binary construct."
