Today marks two years since my coming out day. If I had a magic wand, I would move it ahead some decades but realistically it took how long it took.
And yes, I very methodically chose 9/9 because it would be a day I could easily remember. That's also how my brain works. LOL

Jason DeRose reports on the recently published finding of PRRI that people in the U.S. are leaving churches in record numbers, and about a quarter of Americans now identify as religiously unaffiliated, "a number that has risen over the last decade and is now the largest single religious group in the U.S."

“#Florida cannot prohibit a 10th grade math teacher from asking her students to call her by her preferred pronouns, a federal judge has ruled.
The decision from the US district judge is a blow to an anti-#LGBTQ law championed by #DeSantis, which prohibits discussion of sexuality in public schools. 2023 expansion of the measure, widely known as the “Don’t Say Gay” law, prohibits teachers and students from using pronouns that align with their gender identity.”

I just read the two-part graphic novel "My Brother's Husband" by Gengoroh Tagame. It's set in Japan, where a single dad gets to know his deceased identical twin's Canadian husband. It's a mix of a young girl's enthusiasm over a surprise uncle and an adult's struggle with his culture's (and his own) view of gayness. Lots of layers, as he's also divorced and raising his daughter mostly on his own. They all develop a broader sense of family.

Here’s some I put together today on my art cards 
Today in LGBTQ History, May 17 is International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT). This date was chosen to commemorate the 1990 decision to remove homosexuality from the International Classification of Diseases of the World Health Organization (WHO). In 2009, the WHO added transphobia to the name of the campaign, and organized activities that year to highlight and end. The goal of the campaign is to raise awareness of violence, discrimination, and repression of LGBT communities throughout the world.

I’ve been friends with this gay couple for a couple of years. We have each other over for dinner pretty regularly. A while back, they gave me the exciting news that they’re having a baby and I asked about the surrogate.
Friends, there is no surrogate. So yes, men can get pregnant. Dudes you know.
