We must work with all countries to promote peace
Due to the game of politics, many of the issues you see here are being ignored or fought by Republicans. This isn’t even all of them. We need to be a progressive nation. The Founding Fathers did not found the United States of America by being conservative. The conservatives were the Tories. These were men of vision and dreams. They stood up and decided that we didn’t need to be a colony and that we needed to be our own country. Wow. What bravery and courage to even come up with a plan of strategy. Yet they were progressive and working to design a progressive government.

Thank you Rita Kowats of Spirituality Without Borders (http://spiritualitywithoutborders.wordpress.com/) for nominating me for this award. I am honoured to accept it for myself and all transgender people who may not have a voice for whatever reason. It is for them I write this blog as my first year in transition I felt so alone and it really is not the case, there are others out there. Rita’s blog has helped me accept the changes happening in my life on a spiritual level and for that I am truly grateful.
I am not sure I am going to make 15 nominees as I do not want to fall back on the blogs I read as Jem, not because they are not fantastic blogs, they most certainly are, but I am unsure some of them would want to be linked to this page so for the first time in…

Lucia fled Guatemala after her abusive husband nearly forced her to have an abortion. Lucia needs immediate medical care and support, not long-term detention!

VIA Queer Nation
December 3, 2013 (New York) — In comments made at a forum on the moral responsibilities of athletes at the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Russia, gay figure skater and NBC Olympics commentator Johnny Weir minimized the impact of Russia’s anti-gay laws and disparaged US and Russian activists who are battling to overturn those laws, which have fueled a growing campaign of anti-LGBT violence in Russia.
