Back in 2005, Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal captured lust shading into love, and love decaying into heartbreak. The movie got a lot of things right — but not everything.

An estimated 900 Trans+ people and allies turned up at Westminster, making it the largest LGBTQIA+ lobby on record 🙌 @transsolidarity.bsky.social

WashBlade 25 Jun 25 -- Court in India rules that a trans woman who fully transitions is entitled to be legally recognized as female. It also means trans women can now access critical legal protections against domestic abuse. @rikiwilchins.bsky.social

I wrote this piece just after SCOTUS legalized marriage equality nationwide, 6/26/15. I want to reshare it on the 10y anniversary, as a reminder of why so many of us queer parents and our children fought for marriage—and why marriage equality alone isn’t enough.

Jim Obergefell, plaintiff in the landmark Supreme Court case that legalized gay marriage in all 50 states, reflects on the decision 10 years later and the LGBTQ community's current civil rights fight.

Today marks the 10th anniversary of legal same-sex marriage across the US. While there are numerous battles still to be fought and won before all are equal under the law, let's celebrate how far we've come and the brave, dedicated and loving people who helped get us here.
