Slutty Yorick announces July to be Body Appreciation Month! Let’s proclaim our independence from negative self-image messages; let us celebrate the skin we’re in, and live life to its fullest, regardless of our size, health, gender or genetic background. Let’s all love on the exteriors we got and party within, peoples, because it’s hot! Hot, damn! wooooo!!

Drew Leinonen’s friend is fighting to make him the first LGBT Star Wars movie character

Josh Yehl is petitioning Disney and Lucasfilm to dedicate an out LGBT character to his friend, Christopher “Drew” Leinonen, who was killed at Pulse. Yehl hopes that having a gay character either inspired by or named after Leinonen could counteract some of the hate and homophobia in the world. There’s a Change.org petition but it still needs help.

I made these to put up around my school for my school’s GSA. They are quotes from some little known bisexuals about their bisexuality.

Lets stop bisexual erasure and remember, bisexuality is real!

Edit: Gonna change Tom Daley to a diver instead of a swimmer before I post these in my school.

Also I had to cut the Anne Frank quote to make it more “school appropriate”. The poster quote makes it seem like she might have just wanted a friend, when the actual quote mentions her wanting to touch her friend’s breasts and how when she looks at nude statues and paintings in her art book, she wants to scream out in ecstacy at how beautiful they are. 😛

And finally, I would love to add some POC but in all honesty it was hard enough finding these people. If you have any that you know of, please tell me. Keep in mind they have to be famous enough for most teenagers to know.
Thanks!

Edit #2: Tom Daley recently came out as gay so he shall not be included in these posters. If anyone knows any more males for me to include, that would rock!

GLAAD releases new guide for reporting on bisexual community

thetrevorproject:

💜 GLAAD’s new resource guide on ‪#‎Bisexuality‬ in the media provides new suggestions on how to accurately represent the diversity and beauty in the Bi+ Community! 💜

“How bisexuality is portrayed in the media has tangible consequences on bi people’s day-to-day experiences. Empowering the media to represent the ‪#‎bisexual‬ community, its challenges, and its achievements in many dimensions is an invaluable and necessary step in shifting the cultural narrative towards ‪#‎bivisibility‬ and, ultimately, full acceptance.”
