October 26th is Intersex Awareness Day. Intersex people have bodies that are just a little different, compared to the two usual paths of human sex development. All this month, interACT Youth advocates are telling their #MyIntersexBody stories.

Allies: YOU can help show up for intersex people!

Visit bit.ly/IAday19 for a list of 26 things, big and small, you can do in honor of 10/26.

The LOFT Supports #SpiritDay

Today is #spiritday and The LOFT LGBTQ+ Community Centers stands firm against bullying. We need our schools and workplace environments to be spaces where LGBTQ+ folx can learn, grow and thrive and not worry about being bombarded by harassment and abuse.

Come and join us in supporting Spirit Day!

According to GLAAD:

LGBTQ youth disproportionately face bullying and harassment because of their identities. Each year, millions go purple for Spirit Day to support LGBTQ youth in a united stand against bullying. Pledging to “go purple" on Spirit Day is a way for everyone — global and local brands and companies, world leaders, celebrities, neighbors, parents, classmates, and friends — to visibly show solidarity with youth and to take part in the largest, most visible LGBTQ anti-bullying campaign in the world.

Celebrating International Pronoun Day!

The LOFT LGBTQ+ Community Center is PROUD to support and celebrate International Pronoun Day!

From Pronouns.org
International Pronouns Day seeks to make respecting, sharing, and educating about personal pronouns commonplace.
Referring to people by the pronouns they determine for themselves is basic to human dignity. Being referred to by the wrong pronouns particularly affects transgender and gender-nonconforming people. Together, we can transform society to celebrate people’s multiple, intersecting identities.
