We wish all Pansexuals and Panromantics a great Pansexual and Panromantic Visibility Day

BREAKING: The Biden administration will enforce federal policy to protect LGBTQ people from discrimination in health care based on gender identity & sexual orientation. We successfully sued the Trump admin for stripping health care protections away from LGBTQ people.

All athletes deserve the chance to participate free from discrimination, especially our young LGBTQ+ athletes. We are joining others in calling on the @NCAA to withdraw events from states banning trans kids from playing sports. #LetKidsPlay

We wish all lesbians a great Lesbian Visibility Day

Last Friday UTEP Professor Ontiveros talked to our high school GSA students on the history of the LGBTQ+ Civil Rights Movement!

We wish all Trans individuals a great International Transgender Day of Visibility :)

Last week's quote of the week was "A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin, and culture is like a tree without roots.” -Marcus Garvey

Today, the Marsha P. Johnson Institute, an organization that supports black transgender individuals, is dedicated in her honor. She is definitely an icon of LGBTQ+ history and the community.

supports homeless transgender youth in NYC, with Sylvia Rivera. Although she was tragically murdered in 1992, she has left a profound mark in history and continues to pave the way for trans and LGBTQ+ rights, providing inspiration for activism.
