The Butterfly Effect: Connecting LGBT and Immigrant Rights

The Butterfly Effect: Connecting LGBT and Immigrant Rights | PinkieB.com | LGBTQ+ Life | Scoop.it

I’ve always been intrigued by the element of chaos theory known as the butterfly effect. It is the idea that everything is connected, and a small change in one place can result in large changes later. For example, a hurricane's formation can be contingent on whether or not a distant butterfly had flapped its wings several weeks earlier. I like to believe it’s true, at least as it relates to social change.

Clearing Up Some Confusion About LGBT Issues

As a minority group, LGBT as a label is quite different than many other labels. There are some dynamics unique to this community that I think warrant some inspection. Sometimes we want to talk about lgbt labels or homophobia and I've been hearing some great perspectives, but other times I hear some very misguided stuff.
