Follow your passion. Stay true to yourself. Never follow someone else’s path unless you’re in the woods and you’re lost and you see a path. By all means, you should follow that.
Today’s LGBT History Month post is honoring the great Ellen DeGeneres! Thank you for all of your work.
YouTuber Amy Ordman chats with Max and McKenna about Ellen obsessions, coming out of the closet and a bold plan her mom may not approve of.
@ellendegeneres ““If this isn’t an example of ‘It gets better,’ I don’t know what is,” DeGeneres says. “Time is a strange thing. I was at rock bottom and out of money, with no work in sight, but one step at a time, it gets better. It gets much better than better.”
We couldn’t agree more!
Happy birthday Ellen! Thanks for the inspiration and laughs!
She’s the only person I want to hang out with. Like, she is my best friend and I just want to be with her all the time.

For the last fifteen years, I have had the opportunity to see the positive impact of LGBTQ activism on college campuses. It all started when I was an undergraduate college student on my rural campus of Emporia State University in Emporia, Kansas.
This was before the days of out high-profile celebrities such as Ellen Degeneres and long before the media was even paying attention to LGBTQ youth issues. My campus passed “sexual orientation” as part of an inclusive nondiscrimination statement and also created one of the first national “Safe Zone” programs for gay and lesbian students. I look back on this remembering how difficult it was to get college administrators to listen, understand and then make the changes. Of course, I am quite proud of this accomplishment back in the early 90s – and in the middle of Kansas.
Since then, I have seen LGBTQ and ally college students do the same fierce activism and, in most instances, still encountering difficult challenges from college administrators. Sometimes the LGBTQ and ally students stage peaceful sit-in protests and other times using “glitter bombs” to get necessary attention. As the founder and executive director of Campus Pride, the leading national nonprofit organization for LGBT and ally college students, I applaud the college students working tirelessly to continue this legacy of activism and truly help others.
A safe, welcoming learning environment should be afforded to all students.
Look what’s hitting bookstores at the end of the month. Zach Wahls, who made millions of fans when he passionately fought for gay marriage in front of the Iowa House of Representatives, is telling his story in a new book. Watch his interview with Ellen DeGeneres here.

It’s been a year, which means it’s now legal to make terrible puns about all this! They can’t arrest us all. Jokes aside, though, this is the cover of my new comic book, a collection of some of my favourite comics I made in the past year.
Get it now on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09328FH6X) or preorder it on my website : https://www.serioustransvibes.com/listing/997061636/queerantine-comics-for-a-pandemic-by
