do you have any good queer news? I'm a queer person and hearing all the shit thats happening across the world is making me bummed out
I do! All of this is from LGBTQ Nation's excellent good news tag

"Only two months after its formation, the “No SB 180” initiative had succeeded at making the city of Lawrence, Kansas a sanctuary city for LGBTQ+ people. Last week, in a unanimous vote, Lawrence became the first city in the state to declare itself as such.
Ordinance 9999 bans the city and all of its employees from collecting or releasing information on a person’s “biological sex, either male or female, at birth” and from helping with any investigation, detention, arrest, or surveillance “conducted by a jurisdiction with the authority to enforce Senate Bill 180, as enacted.”"

"A federal judge has told a group of anti-trans parents to mind their own business after the group filed a lawsuit challenging an Ohio school district’s bathroom policy.
The attempts to meddle do not “pass legal muster,” he wrote in his ruling, saying that the group has no reason to sue.
“Not every contentious debate concerning matters of public importance presents a cognizable federal lawsuit,” Judge Michael Newman wrote, denying their petition to stop the Bethel Local School District’s policy that allows a single transgender middle school student to use the restroom that aligns with her gender identity."
^Article date: August 8, 2023
"The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), the independent federal agency responsible for administering civilian foreign aid and development assistance, has released its first-ever “LGBTQI+-inclusive” policy since its founding in 1961.
The four-point policy is meant to serve as a blueprint for USAID staff and partners around the world to champion LGBTQ+ and intersex development and the human rights of all queer people through the agency’s work, said Jay Gilliam, USAID’s senior LGBTQI+ coordinator, in a video explaining the policy...
In simpler terms, the U.S. will try to improve diplomatic relationships with other countries by investing in locally-led LGBTQ+-inclusive programs that are shown to positively impact communities in need."
^Article date: August 3, 2023
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit has ruled in favor of three transgender students who were forbidden by their schools from using bathrooms matching their gender identities. The circuit court upheld a lower court’s preliminary injunction that said the schools have to let trans students use facilities associated with their genders...
The case involves three trans boys in Martinsville, Indiana and Terre Haute, Indiana, who need access to the boys’ room at their middle and high schools...
The court took into account the fact that Title IX bans discrimination on the basis of sex in schools that receive federal money, which is most of them. Citing the 2020 Supreme Court decision in Bostock v. Clayton Co. that found that job discrimination against LGBTQ+ people necessarily takes sex into account and is therefore prohibited under Title VII, the appeals court ruled that the trans boys are likely to succeed in their case and that preventing them from using the correct bathroom while the case works its way through the court system could cause irreparable harm.

"A federal judge has ruled on the side of trans rights after a conservative group tried to overturn an Ohio school district’s anti-bullying policy.
The national conservative group Parents Defending Education (PDE) tried to get a preliminary injunction passed on the Olentangy Local School District’s prohibition on misgendering trans students. The policy includes students, teachers, and parents and it applies to out-of-school hours and social media as well."

There's literally a bunch more I wanted to include, by the way! Tumblr just stopped being able to load them. Going back to add a few more in the reblogs now.
I know it feels like everything is against us right now. But I promise you: that is not true. The bigots and bastards may usually be the ones moving faster (in large part because they suck and don't care about democracy or due process at all),
But in the end, we are going to win. I promise.

original poem: In Which the House Is the Problem x Supernatural “Pilot”
Image id: Cream colored background with the Title Text “In Which the House Is the Problem” underneath it, text reads
“The house is the problem and it wants to eat you.
Maybe because it is hungry, truly ravenous, and the only thing that can fill the hole is you.
Maybe it is concave and starving and you are the first unsuspecting human to cross its gaping, dark threshold.
But maybe the house is empty and it is lonely, because its people moved away or died.
Maybe the house is cold and that coldness has bored a great big hole in the plaster. Maybe the only way to fill that hole is consuming whatever it can get a hold of so it’s bursting full.
Maybe it eats you so you can never leave it and it will never be empty again.
Maybe the house wants you to make it a home, anew.
Maybe it wants to gnash at you with its shutter-teeth and spill your blood on the floor so that it soaks into the wood and no amount of scrubbing will take it away.
Maybe the fire in the furnace that is your soul will warm the house up.
Maybe the only way for the house to be, is to destroy.”
Underneath that image there is an image of the Winchester house from Supernatural’s pilot episode

I'm so emotional right now, but I want to tell everybody on Earth how happy I am. Kansas is my home state, I was born there, and I very much plan to move back there as soon as I can.
But I was terrified that people wouldn't turn out to vote and YES would win. I was too nervous to even look up the election results until now. I was terrified that I'd have to make a choice I didn't want to make, if I wouldn't have that freedom there.
I know this doesn't fix everything, but it's a start and it gives me hope for my home and my future. Because I have so much love for Kansas and I fucking love the people so much.
Not only has this helped Kansans but it has been a beacon of Hope for people and surrounding states who were not so lucky.

Spent and evening in Lawrence, KS, and had to try one of the local breweries for dinner. Lawrence Beer Company. I loved the renovated old building in the warehouse district. The beers, Big Peach Saison, and S.I.P. on this Pilsner, totally fun. The food (Thunderbird Burger & East Side Burger) was delicious, and the service was excellent. I'm not going to lie. I would go back in a heartbeat.
