Thanks for posting! Eddie is wonderful promoting the center and the cause. They're a great organization.

In addition to many of the services they provide, they have a wonderful senior program as well. I think senior LGBT citizens are very much overlooked and so many times left alone and lonely.

Is the GLEH organisation part of the centre or is that something completely different? I think that's something that Robert's involved in and I know Peter is big time involved in the centre!

This is great ..

That is truly cool and hilarious. The color is horrid, but the sentiment is wonderful.

GLEH: It looks like they merged with Los Angeles LGBT Centre in 2014

I love that so much! I'm not familiar with the homophobic boxer, but Samantha and Mark are. They knew he was dropped from Nike, but didn't know why. Now they do.

That was an incredibly interesting article hun and thank you for posting it. But OMB, it really is beyond me in 2016 why people cannot be accepted for who they are and not what they are?

A Jewish Democrat for POTUS or a female one? I would love to see Hillary in the White House, but as long as it's a Democrat I will be a happy bunny. I really, really do fear for all of us if any of the republican nominees get in .. honestly, Dubya was a nightmare but these crackpots are way beyond scary.

I do love the way Americans use "socialist" as an insult though

Oh, and I do love the way the author includes his family in the article .. the twins are very lucky girls and I hope the daddies will not have to see them reach their teens in a world where Trump is president

I'm finding it a bit disheartening that you and I seem to be the only one's here who are concerned about the wider LGBT community when it doesn't include QaF cast members!

Am I wrong? I mean, some of the articles you and I post are incredibly powerful or incredibly playful .. but we seem to be invisible.

Oh how cute is that

We have a few crosswalk lights that are girls instead of boys.. it would bring so much colour and cheer into everything if those things weren't just the usual plain figures

I guess this is one step forward, so its good…but I wish we didn't have to pass laws on this kind of thing. Hopefully one day. But as of now, you have the very vocal religious right, who voice their concerns spew hate.
