Charles William Davis II joined the U.S. Army straight out of high school, in 1999. He went on five deployments in the next thirteen years. It was not until his fifth, his third trip to Afghanistan in 2012, that he got to live genuinely as himself while under the stress of war.

That’s because Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell was repealed during his fourth deployment, in 2010.

American Mortgage Diversity Council Holds Conference on Housing Protections for LGBT Folks

More than half of America’s states don’t have protections for LGBT identities in their housing discrimination laws.

It’s worse for transgender individuals, as only a few states have language that…

There are two incredibly valuable aspects to California’s new Gender Recognition Act, which was signed on Sunday, October 15th by state Governor Jerry Brown.

The fliers found in Cleveland State University’s main classrooms building last week might have seemed innocuous at first glance, but not after a second’s thought.

A cover-sheet showed a man and woman, over the words “We have a right to exist.” But if the art looks familiar, that’s because it’s taken from ’40s propaganda posters of the Nazi Aryan ideal. And…

It’s about time that Marsha “pay it no mind” Johnson had a modern documentary about her life. The legacy of this black trans woman and activist is writ large across American LBGT history. And it should be cause for celebration that “The Death and Life of Marsha P. Johnson” is trending on Netflix this week. But there’s…

“Queers” aired in the U.K. as part of Gay Britannia, a season of LGBTQIA-themed programming meant to mark the 50th anniversary of the Sexual Offenses Act of 1967, which (partially) decriminalized gay sex. Which is to say, the new laws made it so you couldn’t send an English or Welshman to jail for having sex with another man, if both were over 21 and neither was a…

How You Can Make Your Workplace More Inclusive Towards LGBT Individuals In all fifty states, same-sex marriage has been made legal. But in 28 of those states, mentioning your fiance's name when asking for time off for your honeymoon can get you fired, because in more than half the country it's still legal to discriminate against LGBT people in the workplace.
