Recent times in this country have caused many of us to reflect on our society’s gross inequities, including, for me, what my responsibilities are as a citizen and as an ally to the black and LGBTQIA+ communities. It’s sobering, and while there is much to do for me personally, and for us collectively—taking steps forward is key.

我也想庆祝我们国家的多样性,是多么伟大,使我们,尤其着重于LGBTQIA +社区,因为它的骄傲月!所以,我看了电影自豪(2014)。基于一个真实的故事,它刻画了一群LGBTQIA +伦敦如何筹资约$ 70,000(以今天的美元),以支持艰苦的和有争议的为期一年的英国矿工罢工于1984年,采用在这个过程中一个小的威尔士采矿小镇。该集团同性恋者支持矿工(LGSM),采取这一行动了与罢工的矿工团结由于警察东西两组患者常见的虐待。在逐渐了解对方的过程中,误解受到挑战和障碍被打破,不容易,但伟大的友谊是伪造的。我不想放弃扰流板,但在以下LGSM的帮助矿工的几年里,强大的矿工工会则提供LGBTQIA +版权扭转颓势,在英国关键的政治支持。

It’s a wonderful story, though sobering set against the AIDS crisis of the time; Mark Ashton, cofounder of LGSM, died at the age of 26 in 1987, just two weeks after being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS.

当我走的家在本周我家附近骄傲地展示自豪的标志,我就想起我们已经走了多远,在过去50年非歧视和公平为所有;当我看到全国各地的黑人生活物质和反警察暴力的集会和世界,和阅读提出了无数的法例的这几年,除去LGBTQIA +歧视的保护(在医疗,军事,收养,和更多), it’s clear how far we still need to go.

什么是在这一切的关键?教育,然后采取行动。而这也正是家长,教育工作者,图书馆员和大风开始发挥作用。金宝搏彩票我们为所有年龄段的学生LGBTQIA电子书+科目;丰富,数字档案of Sexuality and Gender; and more. In ourGale In Context: High Schooldatabase, here are a few of the related topics to get learning and thinking started!

So let’s take time to celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community, family, friends—and yourself, if applicable! And if you don’t identify as part of the community, learn what you can do to be a better ally and support equal rights for everyone.
