When Love Prevails - Latino Families at the Center of Immigrant and LGBT Rights

When Love Prevails - Latino Families at the Center of Immigrant and LGBT Rights | PinkieB.com | LGBTQ+ Life | Scoop.it

Growing up in a small, rural Colorado town and knowing you're gay isn't easy. I did it with the love and support of an amazing family, but their journey to acceptance wasn't without its bumps and detours. For some in my family, it took time for them to accept me, but as Latinos, we don't turn our backs on family. In the end, love prevailed.

Joel Simkhai, Grindr Founder And CEO, On Gay Social Networking App's Worldwide Impact

Joel Simkhai, Grindr Founder And CEO, On Gay Social Networking App's Worldwide Impact | PinkieB.com | LGBTQ+ Life | Scoop.it

The founder and CEO of Grindr, the gay social networking app that exploded on the scene in 2009 and now reports over 7 million users in 192 countries, believes he has an “opportunity to make a difference.” Gay men worldwide may be using Grindr to quickly track the locations of potential sex partners a few feet away, but Joel Simkhai believes that if he can inspire those men to think about homophobia or make a phone call to a legislator in the process of scanning for dates, then that’s a pretty great thing.

Even with a marriage license, coming out of the closet is a journey, not a destination

Even with a marriage license, coming out of the closet is a journey, not a destination | PinkieB.com | LGBTQ+ Life | Scoop.it

Coming out, gay or queer — you would think, in this day and age, it was no longer an issue. You think: Younger generations are so accepting, and they don't seem to care. Lesbian, gay, trans, queer — we're all part of the mix. Or are we?

Dignity Denied: LGBT Immigrants in US Immigration Detention

Dignity Denied: LGBT Immigrants in US Immigration Detention | PinkieB.com | LGBTQ+ Life | Scoop.it

As Congress debates immigration reform, a common refrain from congressional Republicans is the call for increased border security and increased resources for enforcement of immigration laws. While it is in the interest of national sovereignty and security to track those who come into and leave the United States, we cannot permit enforcement of immigration laws to trample immigrants’ basic human rights. We must ensure that immigration enforcement is conducted in a humane manner that respects human dignity. Unfortunately, the current immigration enforcement system falls short of this goal, particularly in regard to the treatment of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender, or LGBT, immigrants.
