tumblingqueers asked: Please help me. I am making a documentary following some young LGBT kids and need to find some to interview in the NYC area. I am trying to get my last post on my page out as an add for this. The film will show several kids under 16 who are LGBT and living in a supportive environment. Hopefully this film will reduce the sense of isolation so many of us grow up with. If this sounds like a worthy project please reblog the last post on my page and follow links to my BornProud project to see a preview for the film. Thanks for your time.I do not know any specifics about the project or have any connection with those who are making the documentary. Just passing on for those that may be interested in learning more. :)

Petition: Boston Red Sox: Please make an It Gets Better video!
Please sign 12 year old Sam Maden’s petition. Love that this kid took it upon himself to start this!!!
Every day, gay and lesbian teens in Middle School and High School are made fun of and bullied. It’s sad that some of them are bullied so badly, they decide to commit suicide. Recently, a petition much like this one was created to ask the San Francisco Giants to make an “It Gets Better” video. The Giants announced that they will make a video against bullying. We can do the same.
My name is Sam, I am 12 years old and my two friends and I really like the Boston Red Sox. If we can get a lot of signatures from our peers and teachers, we can possibly have the Red Sox make a video too!

NFL Player Nic Harris Takes a Stand in Support of Marriage Equality
Carolina Panthers linebacker Nic Harris has come out in support of marriage by participating in the “NoH8 Campaign” - a photo project that features celebrities and civilians who oppose California’s ban on marriage for same-sex couples, known as Proposition 8.
Other professional footballers to participate in ”NoH8″ include New York Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie and Arizona Cardinals linebacker Isaac Keys. Basketball legend Isiah Thomas also posed for the campaign.
Well done Mr Harris and welcome to the voices in support of marriage equality!

Gay N.Y. Assemblyman introduces marriage bill
Crossing fingers for this to be NY’s year and hoping the Rhode Island’s back door deal don’t show up here.
Openly gay New York Assemblyman Daniel O’Donnell on Tuesday launched his fourth effort to legalize marriage for same-sex couples in the Empire State. O’Donnell has led successful votes on similar bills three times, only to see the drive for marriage equality die in the State Senate.
A coalition of statewide and national LGBT groups, backed by New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, are pushing hard to pass a marriage bill in the waning days of the current legislative session, according to the New York Times:
Gay rights advocates gathered in Albany on Monday to rally near the Capitol and to lobby legislators individually. Lawmakers in both chambers had been deferring to Mr. Cuomo, who has made legalizing same-sex marriage a top priority and this week began a statewide tour to bolster support for that and other issues, to introduce his own bill. But at a time when no Senate Republican has yet voiced support for a same-sex marriage bill — and prospects for victory seem uncertain at best — Mr. Cuomo has held off, with the apparent support of advocates and Senate Democrats who support the bill.
“It is obvious that now, more than ever before, the people cannot, and will not, wait any longer for our government to enshrine equality for all in our state’s laws,” Mr. O’Donnell said in a statement.

Under pressure from more than five dozen House lawmakers, the Navy late Tuesday abruptly reversed its decision that would have allowed chaplains to perform same-sex unions if the Pentagon decides to recognize openly gay military service later this year.
