7 Facts You Should Know About Aromantic People<\/a><\/p>\n

” Aromanticism (or aromanticity) is an orientation in which someone does not experience romantic attraction. Aromanticism is often confused for asexuality, but asexuality is only a lack of sexual attraction. Not all asexuals are aromantic, nor are all aromantics asexual.”<\/p>\n

“11 People Explain What Bi+ Visibility Means to Them” on Teen Vogue<\/p>\n

“Whatever you think you know or understand about bisexuality from tropes in pop culture, TV, movies, or even conversations with people might not necessarily be correct. To set the record right, the best thing we can do is listen to bi+ folks themselves, because it\u2019s clear there are many ways to own your identity and experience bisexuality, pansexuality, or queerness.”<\/p>\n

“Farms Run by Queer and BIPOC People Are Sites of Community and Strength” on Teen Vogue<\/p>\n

“For the BIPOC land stewards Teen Vogue<\/em> spoke to, land has myriad meanings. It can be a space for sovereignty \u2014 a space to grow food for themselves and their communities while divesting from a system that refuses to condemn the structures perpetuating climate change and white supremacy. For others, it is reparation for generations of slavery and land theft from Black and Indigenous peoples, which, as the Northeast Farmers of Color Land Trust writes, ‘built the foundation of the United States, cutting us off from health, wealth, language, knowledge, and sense of place.’ For others still, it is simply about the healing act of digging one\u2019s hands in the dirt among friends, breathing fresh air, and powering off the doomscroll.”<\/p>\n

LGBT Navajo Youth Discover Unlikely Champions on NPR.org<\/p>\n

“But returning to understandings that predate colonialism has helped the families of LGBT Navajos. Traditionalists believe that the “two spirited,” as they’re sometimes called, are powerful and that not all humans can be classified as male or female.”<\/p>\n

Pride Flags 101: Everything You’ve Ever Wanted to Know About Gay, Trans, and Other Pride Flags<\/a><\/p>\n

“So where did all those Pride flags come from, why do we need them, and what do they mean? The answers to the first two questions are simple: They emerged from a need to assert the presence of LGBTQ+ people and their community at a time when they tended to be overlooked by mainstream culture. By displaying a flag, activists of decades past were able to draw attention to their existence, find each other, an push for more inclusion.”<\/p>\n

Pride Month 2021: LGBTQ parades, events and activities this June<\/a><\/p>\n

“June marks the 51st celebration of Pride Month, a time when millions of people come together in support of the LGBTQ community by walking in parades and attending festivals. This year, many celebrations across the globe will resume as COVID-19 restrictions are lifted and more people receive a coronavirus vaccine. Below, we suggest ways you can get involved, what you can watch and read, and other ways to celebrate the LGBTQ community.”<\/p>\n

There Are Not Two Sides to the Trans Rights Debate<\/a><\/p>\n

“All humans, including trans people, deserve humanity, dignity, respect and safety, and how we get there is on all<\/em> of us to recognize misinformation and propaganda, our biases, and the power structures at play. We need to learn to recognize that white supremacy, internalized antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, ableism, classism, and beyond, are often silent sponsors of most conversations we\u2019re having. Let us recognize when we are benefitting from these sponsors and when we are oppressed by them, then break it all down and start again.”<\/p>\n
