Harvey Milk Day - Never Forget
Today, May 22, 2013, would have been the 83rd birthday of Harvey Milk, an icon and martyr of the movement for LGBT equality (and one of my personal heroes) who was assassinated in 1978. The day is commemorated by supporters of LGBT rights around the world (and officially in the State of California) as Harvey Milk Day.So, on this Harvey Milk Day, take a moment to reflect on how far we've come in the fight for equal rights in the nearly 35 years since Milk's murder. While there's still a staggering amount of work to be done, I wonder if even a visionary like Harvey Milk could have imagined the dizzying pace of our progress towards equality. Today and every day, we must be thankful for the generations of courageous LGBTs and allies who came before us and braved a world more hostile than most of us can comprehend in order to help build the one we now inhabit. We can never forget that we've come as far as we have because heroes like Harvey Milk and so many others -- many of whose names are forever lost to history -- stood up first, came out first, fought back first, suffered the beatings first, took the bullets first. For us. Thank you, Harvey Milk. May our work honor your legacy.

The Oppressed Shall Lead: Advocacy Through Empowerment - Part 2
Author's note: Part I of this essay is available here. As I was working on this essay, Sylvia Rivera Law Project released "From The Bottom Up: Strategies and Practices for Membership? Based Organizations," which is a much, MUCH more thorough, concise and effective resource on this subject than I'm able to produce from my own thoughts, by my lonesome, with a blog post. What follows is a very general outline and some suggestions. For anyone interested in community organizing and advocacy, I highly recommend "From the Bottom Up," as well as some other works I'll list at the end of this piece. Because the theory of grassroots mobilization is easier to talk about vaguely in print than put into practice, and because I want to give anyone reading this (my fellow trans* people especially) some rudimentary tools and instructions to actually go organize and get some shit done, let's talk nuts and bolts.These basic instructions are by no means exhaustive and problem-free. Sprawling tomes are written every year about organizing and advocacy, but with the few words I have in a space like this, I thought it would be good and productive to sketch out some guidelines. Besides, no matter how much research and reading you do, there will always be unavoidable problems. Solving them has more to do with inspiration, motivation, cooperation, and gruntwork than intimate knowledge of the organizational histories of labor and social movements.So, no more of Part I's rhetorical academic onanism. No more Foucault. How do we create communities, coalesce, organize, and act effectively? Continue reading "The Oppressed Shall Lead: Advocacy Through Empowerment - Part 2"...

Peace Corps to Accept Same-Sex Couples
While married heterosexual couples have been allowed to serve in the Peace Corps since it was started in 1961, same-sex couples will now be accepted and given the opportunity to serve together."Service in the Peace Corps is a life-defining leadership experience for Americans who want to make a difference around the world," Peace Corps Deputy Director Carrie Hessler-Radelet said. "I am proud that the agency is taking this important step forward to allow same-sex domestic partners to serve overseas together."Peace Corps volunteers travel overseas to assist in the fields of education, health, community economic development, environment, youth in development and agriculture. Same-sex couple can start applying on June 3, but the agency has announced the criteria for acceptance and how assignments will be handled today. From a statement emailed to Bilerico Project:The Peace Corps requires formal documentation for all couples who want to serve, and same-sex domestic partners will be required to sign an affidavit before leaving for service that will act as verification of their relationship. The Peace Corps continually works with staff in host countries to identify placements that allow for safe and productive assignments.Couples who serve together gain a unique perspective of host country customs and culture, but opportunities for couples are limited, as both applicants must apply at the same time and qualify for assignments at the same post. Many factors affect placements, including an applicant's overall competitiveness, program availability, departure dates, and safety and medical accommodations. For any applicant, the number one factor in determining an assignment is the demand from host countries for skilled volunteers.Bilerico Project Associate Editor Sarah Blazucki's full-time job is with the Peace Corps as an editor for their publications.

While married heterosexual couples have been allowed to serve in the Peace Corps since it was started in 1961, same-sex couples will now be accepted and given the opportunity to serve together."Service in the Peace Corps is a life-defining leadership experience for Americans who want to make a difference around the world," Peace Corps Deputy Director Carrie Hessler-Radelet said. "I am proud that the agency is taking this important step forward to allow same-sex domestic partners to serve overseas together."Peace Corps volunteers travel overseas to assist in the fields of education, health, community economic development, environment, youth in development and agriculture. Same-sex couple can start applying on June 3, but the agency has announced the criteria for acceptance and how assignments will be handled today. From a statement emailed to Bilerico Project:The Peace Corps requires formal documentation for all couples who want to serve, and same-sex domestic partners will be required to sign an affidavit before leaving for service that will act as verification of their relationship.

Minnesota Republicans Kill Anti-Bullying Bill
I've written frequently over the past few years about the chilling epidemic of anti-LGBT bullying in the state of Minnesota; the anti-gay animus of the Minnesota GOP; and the spiritual bullying of Twin Cities Archbishop John Nienstedt, one of the most outspoken homophobes in the American Catholic hierarchy.But yesterday those three topics intersected in a way that makes me sick to my stomach: Minnesota Republicans forced the withdrawal of an anti-bullying bill in the state senate after the Minnesota Catholic Conference claimed that if the measure was signed into law, it would turn schools into "re-education" camps.The Safe and Supportive Schools Act had already passed the Minnesota House earlier this month when the Senate began debate on it late Sunday evening. But Senator Scott Dibble, the bill's sponsor, pulled it early Monday morning after Republicans announced that they planned to stretch debate on the bill for ten hours. Since the legislature was required to end its session by midnight last night, the GOP's move doomed the bill. As Mary Elizabeth Williams notes at Salon.com, Minnesota Republicans literally bullied an anti-bullying bill. Continue reading "Minnesota Republicans Kill Anti-Bullying Bill"...
