Petition to include the LGBTQ category in Tumblr’s directory recommendations

Tumblr is a great place for LGBTQ people, but until recently, we’ve been denied a feature.

Many LGBTQ blogs want to be included in Tumblr’s LGBTQ directory. They email Tumblr asking to be included (since this is the only way), and they don’t get responses. Equalitopia waited months, and after many emails, it was finally added.

You may not want to be in the directory, but others do. All blogs should have a fair chance.

Tumblr’s lead developer says:

“I didn’t want immature people to nominate their non-LGBTQ friends/enemies into it. Didn’t want to cheapen/ruin the category.”

He’s implying that “gay” is an insult, and used as an attack on an enemy.

Tumblr Support says:

“Because of the social implications of this directory, we believe it would be tremendously irresponsible for us to risk a user intentionally or accidently outing another user.”

Reblog if you want LGBTQ blogs to be included in this feature.

Equalitopia will send this post to Tumblr staff once it gets enough reblogs.

Rhubarb Smoothie = BEST smoothie I’ve ever had.

You must try it.

Before I tried it, I tweeted it, and people suggested adding strawberries. I just ran out of strawberries yesterday. I’m assuming it’d be even more delicious though.

BREAKING: Senate panel votes to end ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’

The Senate Armed Services Committee has just voted to allow the Defense Department repeal the 1993 ban on gay and lesbian people from serving in the military.

According to the New York Times, it was a 16-12 vote in a closed session, after about an hour-long “vigorous” debate.

The House is expected to vote on the measure either tonight or Friday.

Republicans were strongly against repealing it. They citied letters from armed services chiefs that strongly recommended that Congress wait until the Pentagon’s study on Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell is complete.

The measure includes a provision that the ban could not be lifted until December 1st, when the Pentagon completes a review to ensure that the repeal would not affect military readiness.

So, my friend Matt has a collection of internet meme plushies. I bought him this 5-foot-long Tagnol (Longcat’s evil twin).

Today is the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia

Today marks the 20th anniversary of homosexuality being removed from the International Classification of Diseases of the World Health Organization (WHO). 

May 17 is the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia (IDAHO). This day “highlights that in reality it is homophobia that is shameful and must be deconstructed in its social logic and fought against openly.”

According to Stonewall, one in five lesbian and gay people have experienced a homophobic hate crime or incident in the last three years.

Visit the IDAHO website to find out how you can take action.
