Section 315 of the FCC Telecommunications Act says stations must air ads for candidates for federal office and are prohibited from altering the content. That means they can’t refuse to run political ads even if the ads contain material the stations would ordinarily reject.

Seriously. Read this. Follow/tweet his posts. Look at previous entries. There’s a trend towards more positive depictions of polyamory in television and on the news.

“It’s Okay to be Neither,” By Melissa Bollow Tempel
Alie arrived at our 1st-grade classroom wearing a sweatshirt with a hood. I asked her to take off her hood, and she refused. I thought she was just being difficult and ignored it. After breakfast we got in line for art, and I noticed that she still had not removed her hood. When we arrived at the art room, I said:...

unknowablewoman:
mikroblogolas:
This topic has been discussed to death, and yet it continually comes up in tumblr discussion. So let me establish once and for all (I swear, I will never discuss this again) that “bisexual” is not an oppressive identity.
Bisexual is not binarist.
The argument that it is binarist posits that (1) bisexuality is attraction to binary-identified (sometimes...

bidyke:
Hegemonic discourse* about what it means to be queer (and therefore, oppressed as queer) constructs queerness as a series of visual markers: certain appearances, certain gender performances, certain clothes, and above all – the proverbial “walking hand in hand on the street” (or simply being in a same-gender relationship). Bisexual people who, for any reason, do not give away these...

STOP FORCED STERILIZATION IN SWEDEN: TRANS RIGHTS... →
If you are a transgender person in Sweden today looking to legally change your gender, in the 21st century you are still forced to undergo surgery that will render you permanently infertile and forever unable to have children. This barbaric practice of forced sterilizations has to stop! The majority of the Swedish parliament is in favor of modifying this law - but up until now Prime...

Recently when a transgender child tried to join her local Girl Scout troop, she was excluded, despite identifying as a girl. Thankfully, Girl Scouts of America came out with a response saying “Girl Scouts is an inclusive organization and we accept all girls in Kindergarten through 12th grade as members. If a child identifies as a girl and the child’s family presents her as a girl,...

Mollie Thomas’ announcement of her intention to run for Miss California in this weekend’s pageant stirs a very sacred pot. Pageants are typically reserved for the proper, the straight, and the narrow. She is anything but. The spirited 19-year-old was raised both on a horse farm in Pennsylvania and in Manhattan by an American mother and a French father. She doesn’t recall an...

Yet despite CC’s (Creating Change) nearly 30 years of existence as a Brigadoon of queer leadership togetherness and training, this will be only the third consecutive time the gathering has hosted a bi “institute” — a one-day pre-CC conclave, and it’s one of the few times the CC has had several bi-identified workshops at the same location.

We did it! FBI Director Robert Mueller gave final approval to update the archaic definition of rape.
We did it thanks to you and the more than 160,000 emails we sent requesting a change in the way the FBI Uniform Crime Report defines rape.
With a modern, broader definition, FBI statistics will finally show the true breadth of this violence that affects so many women’s lives. ...

genderqueer:
I have had a few conversations with confused genderqueer individuals who like women, about whether or not they should give up their lesbian identity. I, myself, have wondered this in the past. However eventually I decided that no, being a lesbian was as much a part of me as being genderqueer, and…

Our dog Maggie: *ran into me very forcefully, trodding on my foot that was already bleeding because half my nail ripped off*
Me: *starts crying, for more than one reason*
