Today was National Coming Out Day, and I swear I'll blow a gasket if I see another straight ally using it to "come out" as an ally and put themselves on the same level as the queer people who actually are coming out today.

It is not legal in most states to be fired just for being an ally ( Read more... )

Today on my lunch break I went over to get a new skirt, since my old black skirt was from when I weighed about 10 pounds more and consequently doesn’t sit at my waist anymore (more like just around my hips, which means that it moves around and I have to constantly be straightening it) and I heard one of two of the employees, a guy and a girl, ( Read more... )
