We cannot express how happy we are hearing today's wonderful marriage equality ruling in America! Marriage equality is just one facet for the lgbtq population, but a big step.

Unfortunately, transgender individuals still have one of the highest su***de rates. Help us continue su***de prevention, and promote further equality, by sharing this new information.

The AFSP's latest info on the state of Missouri (since much of our activity is still based around Maryville's chapter!)

In light of our last post announcing our success at the Drag Show last weekend, here comes the hard part. I, Marissa, have decided to take a bit of a break as president of Rocking For Life for awhile. I will be graduating from Maryville in a few weeks, and leaving for my internship in about a month, which is sort of out in the middle of nowhere and far away from any city or RFL activity. I'm not sure what lies in the future of RFL, I certainly hope that the student organization at Maryville University will continue to press on, and I do have big plans for the distant future of RFL as a stand alone non-profit organization. However, I'm choosing to take the next 6 to 9 months as a break from RFL and other organizations I'm a part of, so that I can focus fully on myself and my internship. You can still expect the occasional post from me should I discover any big news related to su***de prevention, and as I mentioned, I have hopes that our student group at Maryville will continue to raise awareness, host events, and we'll no doubt post about those events here as well.

But, for the most part, see you about 6 months!

I'm very happy to announce that we raised OVER $100 at the Glitter Ball Drag Show with MUGSA last weekend for the Trevor Project! We also had a completely full house, with people even having to stand in the back for a portion of the show. More importantly, I believe we achieved our main goal of spreading acceptance and celebrating everyone in the LGBT community, and really got some su***de prevention info out there to help save lives.

Just a few of the MANY pictures taken last night at our karaoke night! We had a lot of fun. Thank you to everyone who came out to support our cause, and to everyone who made the night exciting, singing some awesome songs.
