And all you have to do is look for us… trust me, we are everywhere.”

To celebrate LGBTQ+ history month, we brought together ten LGBTQ+ civil rights leaders, spanning generations past and present, for a group portrait shot by the renowned photographer Frederic Aranda at the historic Black Cat Tavern in Silver Lake, Los Angeles.

The incredible Janet Mock is the subject of this week’s It Got Better.

I’m a librarian and I’m queer. As a member of the community, I help LGBT youth in a few ways. One is that I’m out and I let young people know that I’m out. In this way, they see that an adult they work with and respect is “different” and they see it’s OK. The other way I help is that I collect books that are of interest to LGBTQ youth. Many of the books I choose also feature LGBT characters. In this way, they see themselves in books and feel less alone in the world. We’re not alone, I promise.
As I packed my bags for the Nike LGBT Sports Summit last month, I felt as though I was preparing for the “ball” of my dreams. iPad? Check… Running sneakers? Check… LGBTQ Pride? Double check! I could not believe I was headed to Nike Headquarters in Portland to represent Our Group Athletes, a national network that serves to empower and educate on behalf of LGBTQ student athletes and allies.
With the new season of Once Upon a Time acting essentially as a reboot owing to the departure of several of the show’s established leads, the show’s creators have taken advantage of the fresh start by adding an LGBTQ character who will have a prominent role in the reimagined series. The character’s identity, however, is being kept secret.
“One of the show’s franchises is love,” [show creator Edward] Kitsis tells EW. “This iteration is reflecting the world today. It will not be anything more than just one of other love stories that are happening. I don’t think it’s an arc, it’ll be a character who is gay and that’s who they are and they exist in the world. They don’t have a sign that says ‘special episode.‘”
Bisexuality is not a phase! Share this graphic to let your friends and family know your commitment to the B in #LGBT.

How was your school year?
If you’re an LGBTQ middle or high school student in the U.S., GLSEN wants to hear about your school experiences. Learn more and take the survey at glsen.org/2013survey
GLSEN is currently at the tail end of its National School Climate Survey - probably the most definitive piece of research on LGBT youth in school. What’s needed? Your voice!
If you do outreach to trans youth, I would love it if you’d signal boost this to your young people networks!
Our own Dan Savage – who founded It Gets Better btw – was featured in this list of exemplary Queer Podcasts for his project Savage Lovecast, essentially a podcast version of his weekly sex & relationship advice column.
Also featured in the list are The Read, Homoground (featuring LGBTQ music artists), Pod Save the People, and more.
You can access Savage Lovecast here.

I just want to share some positivity. I have a really close adult friend who I've known since I was 5 (I'm 18 now) and she's one of the only adults who's consistently been there for me so I see her as a sort of second mom. I came out to her as nonbinary and she took it so well! She's been learning and educating herself about the lgbt community but gender is a new hurdle for her, but she was so accepting of me without any hesitation. I may have cried, just a bit.
That’s fantastic! I’m so glad for you! Coming out is a difficult processes but I’m glad you chose to and I’m glad your friend is educating herself. I hope she only learns more in the future! : )
