Today, 17 teens will take their own lives due to...
Reblog if you care. Always. If you don’t reblog, you have no heart. It wont kill you to have this on your tumblr. No, it won’t kill me.  It also won’t save those teenagers.  This doesn’t even include a suicide hotline number.  Maybe you think you’re bringing “awareness,” but if that’s your goal, how about some statistics and prose rather than...

Another comment I sent on behalf of LGBTQ rights
I am a Nissan owner, and love my car.  However, I was dismayed to learn that Nissan, Inc. only received a score of 30 out of 100 on Human Rights Campaign’s Buyer’s Guide.  Curious about the low score, I investigated and learned that Nissan’s Non-discrimination policy does not include gender identity/expression.  This is unacceptable discrimination.  Nissan claims to be committed...

Speak out against anti-LGBTQ companies
Tell anti-gay* companies that you take their corporate policies into consideration when you make purchasing decisions.  You can download the Human Rights Campaign’s “Buy 4 Equality” app to see which companies have LGBTQ*-friendly policies.  I just submitted the following comment to Chick-fil-A: I love Chick-fil-A’s food, and was saddened when I recently discovered that...

Schools threaten to forfeit rather than play... →
Mina Johnson is the first girl to play football for Southampton Academy in Virginia — and she’s a starter who racked up four sacks in a single game earlier this year. But despite her talent, Mina was forced to sit out two games this football season because of a backwards rule: She wasn’t allowed to play because she’s a girl. Football teams from two rival schools threatened to forfeit...

How to Talk to Little Girls →
Teaching girls that their appearance is the first thing you notice tells them that looks are more important than anything. It sets them up for dieting at age 5 and foundation at age 11 and boob jobs at 17 and Botox at 23. As our cultural imperative for girls to be hot 24/7 has become the new normal, American women have become increasingly unhappy. What’s missing? A life of meaning, a life of...
