🌈✊ YOUTH ACTIVISM SERIES - THE IT GETS BETTER PROJECT 🌈✊
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!
“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.’“
This New York Times article is a beginners-level questioning resource. It is not trans-specific, so not all the information is relevant to gender questioning, but you may also find some useful information if you are struggling with sexuality. The best part of this article, in my opinion, is the long list of resources mentioned throughout the article.
“It’s powerful to me to know that we’ve been here for a long time, and it makes me feel like we have to continue patronizing places that are currently open and stay active and vigilant.” 🌈
On the premiere ep of Highlighting The Story, queer, nonbinaryMUA @ThaiBrows sits down with lesbian activist Carolyn Weathers for LGBTQ History Month to give her a bold, prideful look while learning about her contributions to the queer rights movement.
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.
