THE AMY SPALDING

read in 2018: the new guy (and other senior year distractions) by amy spalding

Once, a few months ago, I was walking a dog around my normal Stray Rescue route and saw a couple kissing in a parked car. I tried imagining wanting to kiss someone so much that the public didn’t matter.

heres a zine i made for my local lgbt resources centre! theyre running a program to educate businesses, schools, charities, and the public about lgbt issues.

Do you love reading queer women books? Feel like talking about them at least once a month? Want to be buried in an insurmountable pile of free lesbian ebooks? Join the Lesbrary!

Once again, I am looking for more reviewers at the Lesbrary! You just have to commit to one review a month of any queer lady book and in return you get forwarded all of the les/bi/etc ebooks sent for possible review, as well as access to the backlog of ebooks we have available for review. (Spoiler alert: we receive a staggering amount of ebooks.) You also get access to our Edelweiss and Netgalley accounts, where you can request not-yet-released queer titles.

This guy just had an amazingly heartwarming Q&A with his grandmother about what it was like for her when he came out as trans

Coming out is never easy — and when you’re coming out to someone who’s more than 60 years your senior, there’s more to overcome than in the usual “here, Grandma, let me explain the internet” conversation. But when 11-year-old Gavin Cueto told his grandma that he’s transgender, it was surprisingly smooth sailing. In fact, Nana Elaine puts any tired stereotype about close-minded older folks to shame.
