I apologize for being a little MIA for the past month or so. Its been hectic at the small non-profit I work at. Of course I work at a non-profit as my day job, I'm a queer lady gay boi. Let's just say its been busy in my non-profitty world. Support your local non-profits! Moving on...here's my five things to know this week list.
1. I was looking up the word "lesbro" in the Urban Dictionary and the top definition was heterosexual man who is friends with lots of lesbians, the opposite of a fag hag. However, the fifth definition - the one I use - says, "A lesbian who is close friends with another lesbian in the same way that two dudes are bros." I have been building my lesbro contingency and its been good.
2. Gay brunch: is basically brunch with two or more gay people, and Mimosas and Bloody Marys. Usually between the hours of 11am - 2pm. I've designated Saturdays to be "big gay brunch" day! Make it so.
3. The favorite and beloved "pop culture website that plays for our team" AfterEllen will be no more by this Friday. After fourteen years of being on the interwebs they will shut their virtual doors. They will continue to have the website up and have the articles archived and maybe every once in a blue moon someone will post a new article. Other then that, we'll miss our top 15 Hottest Butch Women (Identified) List. Here's a great article talking about it: Eulogy for the Living: On losing AfterEllen and Queer Women's Spaces.
4. One of the Royals came out the other day Lord Ivar Mountbatten. Congratulations and happy coming out!
5. The next big legal fight, strangely, is the ability to use the bathroom that matches a person''s gender identity. Marriage now bathrooms. What is going on with those Alt-right Conservative Republican folks!? Can we address things like the lack of skilled labor, or the crushing student debt that Millennials and Gen Zers are or will be experiencing when they graduate university. You know, issues that really matter. Bedrooms now bathrooms. Ugh! Let the fight begin, we are ready to "gird our loins." The Supreme Court issued a stay for a school to continue to block a boy (who was born a girl) from using the boys restroom. Here's an article about it: School board, sued by transgender student, asks for Supreme Court review in bathroom case
