Today is our 50th wedding anniversary. We celebrated by attending a #pride festival in Westminster, #Maryland.
It was great meeting our #pflag, #glsen and #ucc kindred. So much community.

The #fight for #safe and #inclusive #schools: What #teachers and #students want #answered in the #VPdebate.

This #debate offers an #opportunity for #candidates to #speak #directly to the #future of our #country—our #students. Will they commit to #protecting the #rights of #LGBTQ+ #youth, writes #GLSEN's #MelanieWillinghamJaggers.

More than 5,000 community members are asking GLAAD, GLSEN, HRC, PFLAG, the Trevor Project, and other LGBTQIA2S+ orgs to stand with Palestine. Their silence is lethal.

#FoxNews is now criticizing #Target for supporting #LGBTQ group GLSEN. Founded in 1990, GLSEN focuses on ending bullying and discrimination against LGBTQ kids in schools. The thing is, #Fox corporation itself has supported GLSEN and its mission.

And just on a personal note, I used to go to the #GLSEN office once or twice a week during my senior year in high school in the mid-aughts. Nothing they do is new or scary. Just a new bogeyman.
