It’s strange to me that I live in a country where things come to me with age.
First you’re considered capable enough to drive.
Then you’re considered informed enough to vote.

But at what age can you marry the person you love?
At 16 I can take…

Sexuality is fluid.
Don’t get pissy because a lesbian ends up dating a male. Don’t get mad because your gay male best friend found a female and dates her. Don’t get mad because your straight male friend dates a dude or a straight female dates another female.
Love is love. Just because you…

gaywrites:
Until recently, transgender people in Ontario had to have gender reassignment surgery in order to change the gender marker on their birth certificate. But that rule has changed after a trans* woman brought on a complaint about discrimination she faced because her gender identity didn’t match her documents.
Now, trans* people need only a letter from a physician or psychologist to...

On October 7, 1998, Aaron Kreifels was riding his bike through a field in Wyoming.
He wasn’t expecting that day to be different from any other beautiful sunny afternoon in the vast plains surrounding Laramie, but that day would change many lives.
Aaron spotted what he initially thought…

gaywrites:
Bisexual activists have long campaigned for Google to remove the word “bisexual” from its list of “dirty words,” or words that were de-prioritized in search settings and wouldn’t register as automatic suggestions. The word was apparently associated with pornography, leading to a lack of visible resources and overall a drop in search rankings for bisexual groups.
Now the efforts of...

The cutest thing happened today. It gave me so much hope for LGBT rights! I was working at the Day Care as usual. A little girl was playing with a barbie and said “will you marry me?” I thought she was talking about the barbie so I said, “who is she asking to marry her?” And the little girl goes…
