These trans women deserve a place in the curriculum.

While those interested in LGBT history are becoming more aware of important figures in transgender history, like Marsha P. Johnson, Sylvia Rivera, and Lili Elbe, through films that chronicle their lives, there were so many trans women who fought for their rights and happiness but were never covered in history class.

TODAY IN THE WOMEN'S CENTER! From 12 pm - 1 pm

Featured participants: delfin w. bautista (LGBT Center, Director) Dr. Winsome Chunnu-Brayda (Strategic Director for Diversity and Inclusion and Multicultural Programs and Initiatives) and Dr. Katherine Jellison (Professor and Chairperson in the Department of History).

Bea Arthur’s wealth will be used to build an LGBTQ youth homeless shelter in NYC

A brand-new homeless shelter serving LGBTQ youth in New York City’s East Village will open early next year — and it’s all thanks to comedian and beloved Golden Girl Bea Arthur. Arthur, who died in 2009, left $300,000 to the Ali Forney Center, an organization that provides support for homeless LGBTQ young people. The center will pay tribute to Arthur in a big way in return.

Note to all bars: This is how you do it. An English pub named Brickyard is going viral thanks to this sign hanging in its women’s restroom. And they already have plans to make the place even safer.

You know what I just realized??

I’ve always had a really hard time asking for help… I like to do things on my own, I like that feeling of accomplishment, of earning things by working hard… of not needing to depend on anyone.

But asking for help IS taking matters into your own hands. It doesn’t mean you’re doing any less on your own… it means you’re doing everything YOU can to get what you need or to where you need to be.
