Why is it okay when a girl acts like a boy, but when a boy acts like a girl they get made fun of and called names like fag and are assumed to be gay or something, but with a girl people are just like oh its a tomboy? That really bothers me.

tor-eh:

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.

After that you’re responsible enough to drink.

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…

Anti-gay youth group leaders try to keep a girl from her gay dads

This incident still angers me for many reasons. My dads are gay, and when I was younger, someone at my school invited me to a youth group event. When I got there, they spent most of the time talking about how gay marriage is wrong, and it made me really uncomfortable. So I said, “I’m not feeling good, I’m going to call my dad to come and get me.” When the classmate that had invited me told everyone that I have two dads and they are gay, all hell broke loose. The youth group leaders freaked out and said that I wouldn’t be calling my dads. In fact, they did not want me to leave. They tried to get me to see that my dads were sinning, but I told them I wanted to leave and that I disagreed with what they were saying. I remember being in tears, scared and wanting to go home.

I went into the bathroom and called my dads. They were pissed and came to pick me up. My one dad called the police when they got there, as the youth group leaders would not let them get me. The police went into the church and brought me out. Charges were not pressed but I refused to go to any more of those youth group events. Thinking about it now still bothers me, I shake when I think about it. – Name withheld by request

This fucking infuriates me

Kids need support, inconditionnal love and caring, not an heterosexual parent relationship to be happy

Fucking ignorant pricks.

This ^
My mom had her first girlfriend when I was five years old, I do have a father and see him regularly, but always lived with my mom and came out just fine.
Kids need parents,regardless their gender. Two dads, two moms, a mom and dad, one mom, one dad, I don’t care. As long as there’s someone to love and take care of the kid.

So Brad totally talked about this in an interview, saying that Shiloh prefers to be addressed by all the family as John (and if anyone calls ze—I guess, I’m not sure if there are chosen gender pronouns yet, so I’m just going to use ze/zir—Shiloh, ze’ll be all “it’s JOHN OKAY?”) and prefers traditionally “masculine” things like swords and boy clothes etc., and he and Angelina don’t care because they a) recognize that not all children are the same/follow traditional gender binaries and b) they love John no matter what so it doesn’t matter to them what gender ze is. Which I thought was awesome/adorable.

Love them so much.

so

awesome

omg

I’m not nessesarily a big fan of Jolie, however I will say this: If my mother had done for me what she is doing for Shiloh/John it would have saved me a a childhood full of frustration, numbness and confusion. I would not now look back on 19 years worth of life and wish I had been able to LIVE IT. Instead, I spent 19 years pretending to be someone else. I can’t help but feel robbed. Why do we tell children who they are? HOW can we tell children who they are?

Parents, please, LISTEN to your kids. Embrace difference and know that you are raising your children right by allowing them to be themselves and loving them unconditionally.

AMEN!!

Everyone who’s liked or reblogged this seriously needs to become a parent. Please, for the good of humanity — reproduce, smart people.

UK lawmakers approve same-sex marriage in first vote

By Laura Smith-Spark and Atika Shubert, CNN

updated 3:47 PM EST, Tue February 5, 2013

London (CNN) — UK lawmakers approved Tuesday the second reading of a bill legalizing same-sex marriage, an issue that has prompted widespread rebellion within Prime Minister David Cameron’s Conservative Party.

The 400-175 vote indicated a significant majority of members support the measure. However, the legislation has to clear more parliamentary hurdles to become law.

It faces another vote in the House of Commons and a vote in the House of Lords.

Before Tuesday’s vote, three top party members appealed to Conservative MPs to get behind the controversial legislation in a letter published in the Telegraph newspaper.

The letter, signed by Chancellor George Osborne, Foreign Secretary William Hague and Home Secretary Theresa May, said that passing the bill is “the right thing to do at the right time.”

The institution of marriage has evolved over time, the letter said, while “attitudes towards gay people have changed.”

Yes, good.

I will respect these posters forever because they put a genderfluid/genderqueer/whatever person. That is normally so overlooked.

Big news!

After a campaign by GLAAD, Scouts for Equality, Change.org and others, the Boy Scouts are reportedly “actively considering” an end to the policy that bans gay scouts and leaders.

Progress!

Tatjana Plitt is journeying across the country and photographing military families to demonstrate that the so-called Defense of Marriage Act hurts real couples and real families. This couple, for example, Ashley and Liliana, recently welcomed a baby boy into the world, Brice. However, even though Ashley is on her son’s birth certificate, DOMA prohibits her from receiving the “paternity” leave that any other military spouse would receive in the event of the birth of a child. Reblog this photo or click the heart to stand with Ashley and Liliana, and check out all SEVEN amazing portraits.
