From Huffington Post:
Last year a court in Moscow ruled that gay pride celebrations were prohibited in the city for the next 100 years and things are just as bleak in other parts of the country.
But, instead of waiting until 2112 to show their pride, the Russian LGBT community has been invited to go west to celebrate in Sweden.
Stockholm Pride has unveiled a new Twitter campaign, #GoWest, that welcomes their Russian friends to travel to Sweden for their Pride celebrations this summer. On the campaign page for #GoWest you can send out a tweet that will automatically be translated into Russian, inviting people to Stockholm Pride.
“To celebrate that love, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity and gender identity is a democratic right, we have taken this opportunity to, with humor and love, direct a special invitation to all of Russia to celebrate Pride with us,” says Stockholm Pride, a generous offer to a population suffering in Russia right now.
If homosexuals are flaming, does that mean the collective noun is an inferno?
Please yes. I will use this all the time.
An inferno of gays is expected to hit Perth some time later this evening….
Eurovision this week. Poor Sweden is just one great big inferno.
If homosexuals are flaming, does that mean the collective noun is an inferno?
People being angry about ~dem gays~ on Target’s Facebook.
I just want to give my two cents on this and tell you a story.
A couple weeks ago, I was hired at Target. I have a job at Target. Not a big deal right?
It is a big deal because i’m a transman.
It doesn’t take a genius to conclude that it’s hard for me, my brothers, and sisters to get a job. There are legal restraints regarding the job and if you don’t pass, it’s hard to be taken seriously at a job interview.
Right on the application, it asks what your preferred name is. It also asks if there is anything that target should know. I put the fact that I am a transman, expecting not to get a call because usually when you put that down, people will throw out the application. I got TWO interviews.
At the interview, they asked me about it. I told them I am on hormones and they told me that they didn’t care. Not in the sense that they don’t emotionally care, but that it didn’t matter. I was male and that’s all that mattered. They also told me that they give sex same couples benefits in states that do not recognize them as a married couple.
At my job orientation, I was not misgendered once. Even my supervisors who weren’t sure of my gender avoided pronoun use, which I found only happens when you’ve had pronoun training. They gave me a name tag with my preferred name and didn’t ask questions. I felt safe and respected, which is huge for a trans* person.
TLDR: Target is amazing not just for the LGB, but also the T. Shop there for the rest of your life.
