We make a huge political difference in elections and fund raising  for both major parties.

All we ask is respect both us and our families.…

Yes once again in the USA people are competing for the job of President. What does this event mean to pro Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender (LGBT) equality activists? This is when our community becomes the target for discriminatory dogmatic diatribe.

The Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender (LGBT) people are not at fault for how badly society treats us.

It is the society that commits blatant acts of harassment, creates legalized injustices, and allows hate crimes/ murders to continue with little to no action that is at fault. …
