10 Queer Activists Come Together Across Generations To Share Lessons and Love
“It’s more than just telling someone ‘it gets better.’ It’s showing them that there is a huge spectrum of people — all ages, all walks, from everywhere — and they’re out there and they’re championing your rights and your ability to live the life that you want to live. 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.

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!
