The NAACP Constitution affirmatively states our objective to ensure the “political, education, social and economic equality” of all people. Therefore, the NAACP has opposed and will continue to oppose any national, state, local policy or legislative initiative that seeks to codify discrimination or hatred into the law or to remove the Constitutional rights of LGBT citizens. We support marriage equality consistent with equal protection under the law provided under the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution. Further, we strongly affirm the religious freedoms of all people as protected by the First Amendment.

Sometimes we don’t have to look too far to find the people who persecute members of the LGBTQ+ Community(s).

Be honest. How many of these have you used? And how many of these have been used against you?

says Alex on Tumblr, "When I was with James this week I wrote a little poem about gender and decided to draw a comic for said poem. Hope you guys enjoy!"

As part of a recent wide ranging interview with NYC based bisexual & genderqueer photographer, writer and activist Morgan Good, well know bi-identified Bilerico columnist Amy Andre asked Morgan, a Board Member with BiNet USA to give a quick snapshot on the bisexual community in the USA right now:

There is not a bisexual person anywhere on the planet who hasn't at one time or another been subjected to this type of insulting nonsense. And while we all know not a word of it is true, usually we are too busy being horrified/hurt/angry to think of the just the right stinging retort that will not only put the boorish person in their place but will also let in actually truth and light. Well no worries, bisexual heroine Lady A, the advice columnist for the Chicago Phoenix has done it for us in this polite, factual but stinging retort to an obnoxious ignoramus.

As reported in Bi Magazine, on February 15th, 2012 BiUK, a British based umbrella organization for various bisexuality research projects and events, in collaboration with the Open University (OU) has just released "The Bisexuality Report: Bisexual inclusion in LGBT equality and diversity" (pdf).

When someone is tempted to ask "why should we bother to mention bisexual people (or as recently happened biphobia) separately? Everyone knows that when you say 'Gay' it really means the entire LGBTQ+ spectrum", it may be useful to point out the sad, humiliating and ultimately expensive saga of the 2008 North American Gay Amateur Athletic Alliance's "Gay Softball World Series".
