October is GLBT History Month. “Beginning October 1, 2010, a new GLBT Icon is featured each day with a video, bio, bibliography, downloadable images and other resources” on glbthistorymonth.com.
Here is this year’s overview video featuring all 31 icons. Take a look and help us celebrate.
And be sure to stop by this blog where, after the recent news of several tragic teen suicides, Katiebabs blogged about her experience to help kids see “it gets better.” She and others are donating up to $775 for 500 comments to The Trevor Project and the Matthew Shepard Foundation. Please stop by and leave a comment to help.
Thanks,
Sloan
This is inspiring. Thanks so much for sharing it. : )
You’re welcome. Thanks for checking it out, Tara.
Just wanted you to know that I left a post on the link above. I’d like to share it here too.
Whoever gave the advice that someone can only hurt you as much as you let them, obviously never had to deal with the vicious and sometimes deadly bullying that exists now.
It’s like standing on the beach, feeling the waves lap around your ankles, the sand shifting under your feet. You can feel it, but it’s manageable.
But…when the waves become riptides and you are dragged under and thrown around, you are out of control.
I’ve been in those riptides at times in my life and I survived. them. The thing is, you can’t give up. You have to fight even though the problems seem unbearable because…IT GETS BETTER!
Great post, Arlene. Thanks for taking the time to share. I’m glad you didn’t give up and survived!
