Things put in perspective...

As we remember 9/11, we also honor LGBTQ+ lives impacted by that day. Mark Bingham, an openly gay man and passenger aboard Flight 93, showed extraordinary courage in the face of terror by joining fellow passengers in resisting the hijackers. His bravery helped prevent an even greater tragedy, and his legacy lives on. 🏳️‍🌈🕯️

💖🏳️‍🌈 Today we mourn the passing of

More than a legendary musician, Dolly was a champion for kindness, literacy, acceptance, and community. Her generosity touched countless lives, and her message of love continues to inspire people around the world.

"I don't think it should matter what color your skin is, what your religion is, whether you're a woman, or a man, or transgender. If you've got something to offer, you should be loved. You should just be accepted for who you are and what you're doing."

Thank you, Dolly, for the joy, hope, and compassion you shared with the world.

Rest in peace. ❤️

Couldn't be more proud, or honored to know these amazing women and others in the Alaska Rainbow Elders!

They say they never imagined the joy of being out together, but they’re worried about what’s coming.

Sad, but true.

The target changes.

But the pattern often stays the same.

Years ago, many LGBTQ+ people heard:

“They’re recruiting children.”
“It’s just a phase.”
“It’s not natural.”
“They’re too young to know.”

Today, many transgender people are hearing those very same arguments.

History has a way of repeating itself.

That doesn’t mean every conversation about gender is identical to past conversations about sexual orientation. There are real differences between being gay and being transgender, and each deserves to be understood on its own terms.

But it’s worth noticing when the same fear-based talking points are recycled from one generation to the next.

We’ve seen this before.

We’ve seen predictions that never came true.
We’ve seen panic replace curiosity.
We’ve seen fear drown out the voices of the very people being talked about.

And we’ve also seen what happens when people choose a different path.

When parents listen.
When communities learn.
When we replace assumptions with understanding.

Every person has an opportunity to decide whether they will respond to people who are different with fear or with compassion.

We can’t control every headline or every law.

But we can educate.
We can tell the truth.
We can lead with love.

And one conversation at a time, one family at a time, we can help write a different ending to this story.

Together, we can change the world.
