Memorial Day is for our heroes, too
Our nation owes a debt to the LGBTQ troops who gave their all, even when they had to serve in silence.
By Dawn Ennis

Memorial Day is actually set aside as a remembrance of the fallen soldiers, sailors, marines, airmen and women and members of the coast guard who paid the ultimate price for our freedom.
And as we do so, let’s recall that there were those who gave their lives serving in silence.
They marched like everyone else. They fought like everyone else. They played for their service academy football teams and in other sports like everyone else. And they died, like everyone else.
But until Don’t Ask Don’t Tell was repealed, LGBTQ troops served our nation from the closet.
Forgotten, too, will be those troops who took their lives, a growing epidemic that reaches far beyond our LGBTQ community.
Let’s remember them all, even those who never got to say out loud and proud, “This is who I am, and I am worthy of love and respect like everyone else.”

This is sad, and scary. Happening in California, in 2024. Visibility is crucial for our community, going back in the closet is NOT an option. If your Bay Area city is raising the flag, and issuing a proclamation for Pride month in June, take the time to show up and support these important events

great cause, and the food at this place is fantastic

This is going to be an awesome fundraising event, and one worthy of your time AND tastebuds!!! ❤️♿️

May 24 is Pansexual and Panromantic Awareness and Visibility Day

To be pansexual is to have a sexual or romantic attraction not limited by gender, or gender identity, while to be panromantic is the same except without the sexual attraction. Attraction is not dependent on gender; pan people are attracted to the person before anything else. However, this doesn’t mean they’re attracted to anyone and everyone!

Harvey Milk was an activist, organizer, and the first openly gay man elected to public office in the country as a member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in the late 1970s. Harvey Milk came out and started organizing against discrimination of gay and le***an business owners in the Castro District of San Francisco, and against the Briggs Initiative (this was an initiative on the California state ballot in 1978 that would have banned g**s and le***ans from working in California schools). Milk was responsible for passing gay rights ordinances for the city of San Francisco and served eleven months in office before he was assassinated on November 27, 1978, along with San Francisco Mayor George Moscone. We celebrate Harvey Milk Day on his birthday, May 22.

AGENDER PRIDE DAY, May 19
Agender directly translates to “without gender”, which is why it is often used interchangeably with terms such as non-gendered, genderblank and genderfree, even though not all agender people may identify with these labels.

International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia

May 17 is International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia & Biphobia. The date was specifically chosen to commemorate the World Health Organization’s decision in 1990 to declassify homosexuality as a mental disorder. This Day aims to celebrate sexual and gender diversity, and campaign against the violence and discrimination experienced by LGBTQ+ people internationally.

The world is seeing hard-won progress in protecting the rights of le***an, gay, bisexual, transgender, q***r, intersex and asexual people – but there is still a long road ahead.

To spotlight the advances and challenges, the theme of the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia this year is: “No one left behind: Equality, freedom and justice for all.”

Yet despite the progress, discrimination and stigma remain, leading to serious health disparities and other inequities. Dozens of countries still criminalize consensual same-sex relationships. In some places, LGBTQIA+ people could face the death penalty because of their identity, leaving them highly vulnerable to rights violations and with limited access to health services. And many political leaders are using polarizing policies and harmful rhetoric.

Amid escalating humanitarian crises around the world, countries must work to safeguard the right to health of LGBTQIA+ people by including them in disaster-response planning, incorporating their concerns into protective measures, and recognizing their unique sexual and reproductive health needs.

“As we honor LGBTQ+ elders, we recognize the struggles many have faced may leave them at increased risk for elder abuse, neglect and financial exploitation. ”

May 16 is National Honor Our LGBT Elders Day, a time to pay�tribute to those who have paved the way for the LGBT�(Le***an, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender) community to�obtain and continue to seek important legislation and rights.�We have numerous elders to thank for the strides made over�the last several decades towards equality. As with other civil�rights movements, their work has not been easy. Their�struggles and victories are marked by courage, persistence,�passion, and authenticity so, today, we celebrate them.
