Gangsta Feminists

thepoliticalnotebook:

If Columbus Day just isn’t your thing (and let’s face it, there are a few reasons why we might want to do away with celebrating him), turn your attention instead to National Coming Out Day (which has been around since 1988)! This is a moment to recognize the struggle of those in LGBTQ community and for people to proudly declare either their sexuality or their support in an effort to raise civil awareness. It’s also a time to remember the victims of hate crimes and bullying.

So, I’m officially declaring my active support for all member of LGBTQ community, both in their daily struggles and their struggles for equal recognition under the law, in uniform and in society.
