Aside from the set of bored looking young people at the beginning of this video, Philadelphia's Mountain Meadow Summer Camp actually looks like a pretty dope place to spend part of those three warm months in between school years. Founded in 1981, Mountain Meadow is one of those places where LGBT 9-17-year-olds (or straight tweens [...]

Well before Ellen DeGeneres, Wanda Sykes, and Lily Tomlin came out, Kate Clinton was paving the way as an openly lesbian comedian. Since 1981, the self-described "fumorist" (feminist humorist) has been performing her acerbic, politically charged stand-up at gay pride rallies, women's music festivals, nightclubs, and fundraisers. She's also written columns for The Progressive and The Advocate, as well as two books. Clinton brings her Lady Haha...

The rate at which students use and hear negative language about lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT) people is huge. In the USA over half of all students report hearing homophobic remarks often at school.

In light of continuing delays in the House of Representatives, we must state clearly and unequivocally: Passing basic job protections for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people must happen now. At a time when our government is deeply focused on the critical issue of employment, it is inexcusable to delay action on the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA).
