Actress Josie Totah Speaks About the Importance of Trans Day of Visibility
We sat down with actress Josie Totah to discuss the struggles she faced growing up in the spotlight, coming into her own and the importance of Trans Day Of Visibility!
“What we found was that people want a purpose to connect around, so it’s not just, ‘Hey you’re queer, you’ll get along.’ It’s more about, ‘Let’s find the commonality in my queer + x identity, in my intersectional identity.’“
Our brand new, limited edition enamel pins have arrived, and we want you to be the first to receive one!
With the help of artist Moriah Benton, the It Gets Better Project has translated our vision into pins you can wear anywhere.
Help us work to create a world where all LGBTQ+ young people know their power and worthiness as individuals.
THE IT GETS BETTER PROJECT IS LOOKING FOR OPENLY LGBTQ+ YOUTH ACTIVISTS TO SHARE YOUR STORY IN A WEB DOCU-SERIES.
Our goal is to give viewers around the world a hopeful, affirming glimpse into the lives of activists who identify as LGBTQ+ around the world (including outside of USA) and a respect for the intersectionality of many forms of activism. We’re looking for young people between the ages of 14-24 who are comfortably “out” as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer and who are involved in intersectional causes that aren’t necessarily directly about LGBTQ+ equality.
Maybe you’re part of a group of young queer activists working to end gun violence or fight for change in immigration policy. Maybe you’re creating a space for other LGBTQ+ youth to join you in advocating for global climate change or local workers rights. Maybe you’re creating art as activism related to racial inequality or reproductive justice. Maybe you are just a young person who is passionate about a particular cause and want to see a change in the world. We’re looking for young people between 14-24 who are changing the world…or even your own community. No cause is too small!
Does being openly LGBTQ+ impact your view of the world? Why are you so passionate about the cause you’re fighting for? The time commitment is limited- filming would take place over 1-2 days in your area based on your availability.
What’s your story? Please email us ASAP and let us know! casting@creatorup.com
PLEASE REFERENCE “ACTIVISM” IN THE EMAIL AND TELL US ABOUT YOU!
I grew up in a Mormon household. I was so scared of coming out. I didn’t even know what trans or gay was till I was 12. My gender identity and sexuality has been a rollercoaster of a journey. It went straight cis, bi cis, gay cis, gay I don’t know what I am, queer gender queer, straight ftm, and now to bi trans (FtM).
I learned about different identities and what I could be. A couple days ago I reviewed my first binder and I cried. The feeling is amazing. It does get better and I know my journey is far from over.

“LESBIANS ARE BEAUTIFUL” – “A DAY WITHOUT LESBIANS IS LIKE A DAY WITHOUT SUNSHINE,” Gay Freedom Day Parade, San Francisco, California, June 1979. Photographer unknown, c/o @chicagotribune.
.
In the late 1970s, as former beauty queen, singer, spokesperson, and archconservative Anita Bryant’s Save Our Children campaign battled anti-discrimination ordinances across the country, the queer community unified around a common enemy.
.
From 1977 to 1979, virtually every gathering of queer Americans (and many across the world) featured every kind of anti-Anita paraphernalia, including signs, banners, shirts, pins, speeches, songs, and chants.
.
Here, Gay Freedom Day participants present a spin on the tagline Bryant made famous as spokesperson for the Florida Citrus Commission: “Breakfast without orange juice is like a day without sunshine.”
.
[Please note: most sources incorrectly describe this image as one of a Chicago Pride Parade; it is, in fact, from San Francisco’s 1979 Gay Freedom Day Parade. We base the location on the streetcar tracks and the sign for Mason & Turk Streets (which intersect with Market Street) in the background. The 1979 parade was San Francisco’s first Gay Freedom Day Parade the route of which went from downtown to the Castro (as opposed to vice versa) and the marchers here are headed away from downtown; that fact, coupled with the Anita reference, gives us confidence in the 1979 date. As ever, we encourage those who are inclined to repost the picture with the correct information in order to correct the virtual record.] #lgbthistory #HavePrideInHistory #LesbianVisibilityDay #Resist (at San Francisco, California)
Happy Lesbian Visibility Day ❤️
