In the Life: families with trans* children

gaywrites:

The TV show In the Life is featuring eight families with transgender or gender nonconforming kids in its April episode.

“As soon as he could talk, he started saying he was a boy,” a mother says of her 5-year-old child, Jake. Another child declares, “I’m a girl, I don’t play boy stuff.” A parent wonders, “How are we going to navigate puberty?”

At the link above, The Advocate has the complete episode. The episode will show throughout the month on public television. Check it out!

We challenge all of the GOP Presidential Candidates & All Republican / Tea Party members of Congress to PROVE that their sudden politicizing of birth control is NOT a Women’s Rights issue by passing legislation that prevents Men from getting Erectile Dysfunction drugs or penile enhancements unless:
 They are married
Can pass a fertility test
Are of an age where they can raise a child
Reblog this if you’d like to see The GOP treat men the same way they treat women.

Oh my god that would be awesome. Fucking conservatives are all in a rage about birth control pills, but they can give fuck all about boner pills.
The fact we have such publicly strong acceptance of fucking boner pills, and yet you don’t see the same kind of “horny pills” for women plastered in advertisements everywhere you look says a lot about how our society is set up.

Anti-Equality Advocates Brag About Flipping Polls Against LGBTs

Anti-queer activists in NJ are bragging about their ability to mobilize their base to flip polls that show support for marriage equality.

Show them that we’re just as motivated!

Below quote from an email by the New Jersey Family Policy Council:

The press is still polling! In response to our alerts, you all have helped to turn polls on the subject of same-sex “marriage” from for to against. At the Star-Ledger, marriage supporters flipped an online poll from 52% in favor of same-sex “marriage” to 60% against. At NJ 101.5—which has been hearteningly pro-marriage in its coverage of this legislation—marriage supporters turned the poll from a near tie to stand 71.6% in favor of marriage as one man and one woman. Now the Asbury Park Press is hosting yet another poll, this time giving respondents a chance to pick a reason for their answer. Opponents of marriage currently dominate that poll at 53% compared to our 30%. Vote for marriage now!
