    I post a thread on all the sites I belong to each year. :slight_smile: Please let me know what you think of it? I'm trying to make sure it's all nice and ready to go.

    I got a growing sense of unease as I scrolled through that list of names that just kept on coming. Urgh.

    Thank you.


    That list...... *shakes head*

    But thank you.

    There's little in the way of improvments that spring to mind.

    The human race has a long way to go in redeeming itself right now.

    I got the same thing :/

    What also pisses me off is that there's a lot of transphobia among gays. While I certainly hope not to the point of murder, you'd think that gays would be able to empathize.

    seeksanctuary - I hope you don't mind, I sent a link to this thread to a friend who forgot to arrange a blog post for tdor. He's looking for a guest post so I told him you'd said this could be reposted anywhere. I hope that's OK.

    I've had a blogpost scheduled for a week now :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
    But I didn't write anything, just a banner and a link to the events.

    Thanks for the link!

    Yeah, but there are good people out there. Things will get better eventually... they already have started to, if numbers-per-year are a good standard of measure. Under 30, from over 120 the other year? It's an improvement, even if it is terrible.

    Humanity can be hateful, but we have to hold onto the good.

    You would think, but I have seen far too many people in the GLB area state that the T doesn't belong... it most certainly does belong. In the end, it's all the same fight, and isn't part of the anger towards gays/lesbians about "that's not how a real man or woman is supposed to act"? Well...

    Thank you for the link!

    That is fine. :slight_smile: Thank you for letting me know, and thank you for sharing. I'd love to see his blog...? If it's public that is. I like reading blogs from like-minded (trans-friendly) people.

    Hey, that's still helpful. Every little bit is helpful.

    That's cool. xD I've... never seen a queer-related blog before, if you can imagine. Been meaning to find ones to read. And it gives me another to link people to, who like that kind of thing.

    Thanks for the link!

    Wow, that's so sad. I'll definitely pray for them and their families. To everybody on here, please be careful who you trust.
