Coming Out | Son, Don’t Act Too Gay

Posted 5 years ago Tagged

I came out as gay a few years ago and everyone, even extended family and friends took it exceptionally well. However, my parents seem to have put up a wall and don’t know what to do about it. They knew … Read the rest here

This truth hits hard for our conservative, religious crowd. šŸ–¤ (and it shouldn’t be hard)…

Every LGBTQ+ person is tied to a family—biological, adopted, or chosen—whether that family offered love or left wounds. Being pro-family doesn’t mean glorifying only perfect, traditional households; it means embracing the messy, beautiful reality of all families, especially those built by queer people who create love and belonging against the odds.

To be pro-family is to fight for every person’s right to exist, to love, and to build their own families—free from rejection or hate.

Today, we celebrate freedom, resilience, and unity.

On June 19, 1865, enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, were finally informed of their emancipation, over two years after the Emancipation Proclamation.

This historic day marks the end of slavery in the U.S. and symbolizes the ongoing journey toward equality and justice for all. šŸ–¤šŸ’šā¤ļø

We honor the strength of our diverse communities, uplift Black voices, and spread love today and every day.

Washington, D.C. - The U.S. Supreme Court, in a 6-3 decision on June 18, 2025, upheld Tennessee’s ban on gender-affirming care for transgender minors in United States v. Skrmetti, dealing a significant blow to transgender rights. The ruling affirms Tennessee’s Senate Bill 1, which prohibits medical providers from prescribing puberty blockers, hormone therapy, or performing surgeries for minors seeking treatment for gender dysphoria, the distress from a mismatch between one’s gender identity and assigned sex at birth.

Chief Justice John Roberts, writing for the majority, argued that the law does not violate the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment. Applying rational basis review, the Court found that Tennessee’s restrictions, which regulate medical procedures based on age and diagnosis, do not constitute sex-based discrimination. Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti hailed the decision as a ā€œcommon-sense victory,ā€ asserting it protects children from irreversible medical decisions.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor, joined by Justices Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson, delivered a sharp dissent, warning that the ruling ā€œinflicts profound harm on transgender children and their families.ā€ Sotomayor argued that the law discriminates by allowing treatments like puberty blockers for other medical purposes, such as precocious puberty, while denying them to transgender youth, thus violating equal protection principles.

The decision has broad implications, as 25 states have similar bans, with six classifying gender-affirming care for minors as a felony for providers. The American Civil Liberties Union’s Chase Strangio called the ruling ā€œdevastating,ā€ warning it could embolden further restrictions on transgender rights.

The case, filed in 2023 by three transgender adolescents, their families, and a Memphis provider, challenged the law as discriminatory. The Trump administration, reversing the Biden administration’s stance, supported Tennessee’s position in 2025.

Advocacy groups like the ACLU and Lambda Legal plan to fight on, supporting families through initiatives like the Trans Youth Emergency Project and challenging other bans in court.
