OPINION Community archives are the antidote to the erasure of LGBTQ+Ā history
This month, President Trump chose to opt out of acknowledging World AIDS Day. Itās the first time the U.S. has not participated since the World Health Organization created this day in 1988 to raise awareness on HIV/AIDS and to commemorate the lives that have been lost to the deadly virus. From executive orders targeting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) offices on college campuses to the U.S.

Last week we picked up two pronoun buttons from someone who worked at a now closed university diversity office. This one hit hard as one of our founders used to work there. While it's egregious these services are being shut down, we are working to make sure their history is saved.

The South is home to the most LGBTQ people in the US. When you shit on the South, you're contributing to a long legacy of marginalization and oppression. The South is home to some of the most badass people, wonderful food, diverse culture, and folks who are highly skilled and super funny.

Remember to save your signs (and any others you find thrown away) from both protests and counter protests. Your local archive would LOVE to have them (and if you're in the South we would love to have them). Make sure history remembers!

April Fool's from the April 1996 issue of the Mississippi Voice. The photo shows Russian president Boris Yeltsin and Defense Minister Pavel Grachev as if they might *kiss* the caption reads: Boris Yeltsin comes out at an awards ceremony in Moscow, surprising his lover of 18 years. April FOOLS!
