There is a lot of nonsense going on which I will focus on later this week (especially the news that Hot Mess Nancy Mace will be running for SC governor), but for the present, I want to focus on something positive.
October is LGBT History Month and every year, the Equality Forum dedicates each day in that month to spotlight an LGBTQ historical figure. Also, every year, the group makes the announcement as to who will be honored around this time.
This year the list features, I think, more contemporary people. More importantly, at least to me again, is how important it is this year that we honor and amplify LGBTQ people. We all know what's going on with the Trump Administration's attack on trans people in general and our community in large. It's so easy to get frustrated (I have been on a few occasions.) Let these historical figures guide, inspire, and empower you. We aren't going anywhere, ESPECIALLY not backwards.
