Puerto Rican Senate approves anti-discrimination bill
The Senate in Puerto Rico this week approved legislation that would ban discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity in housing, employment, public accommodations and government services. The bill will now move on for consideration by the House of Representatives.
This seems to be one of a series of steps aimed at improving the climate for LGBT people in Puerto Rico:
The bill’s passage comes three days after San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz mandated the Puerto Rican capital’s police department to equally apply the island’s current domestic violence laws, regardless of the reported victim’s sexual orientation. She also signed a second executive order that bans discrimination against the city’s municipal employees based on their sexual orientation or gender identity and expression.
Pedro Julio Serrano of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, lesbian New York City Council Speaker Christine Quinn and others repeatedly criticized former Gov. Luís Fortuño for not doing enough to curb rampant anti-LGBT violence on the island following the 2009 murder of gay teenager Jorge Steven López Mercado.
Every single piece of legislation makes a difference, even if it takes a while. Here’s hoping this one makes it through.

It’s almost the end of May. Do you know your Asian-American history?
Most of America isn’t aware that May is Asian-American Heritage Month. It’s a celebration that started in 1978, when Congress urged President Jimmy Carter to declare the week…

Ummm…I am so VERY into this right now!
But Black people in period or fantasy settings totally makes the stories unreal.
Also holy shit I love these.
How come I don’t run across this stuff regularly?
Because of racism and the retroactive erasure of POC in Medieval Europe. Pretty much the same reason you almost never see these works of art either unless you’re already looking for them:
But it’s SOOOOOOOOOOO UNREALISTIC TO SEE BLACK PEOPLE IN MEDIEVAL EUROPE!!!!
/sarcasm
Oh the last picture is the cutest.
On a more relevant note, this reminds me of when people are like ‘We can’t have POC in Lord of the Rings (or whatever) because it’s unrealistic.’
OH BUT HOBBITS AND ELVES AND MAGIC RINGS AND WIZARDS ARE FUCKING REAL, RIGHT?

Test stills for my thesis animation, Mio. Backgrounds and colors certainly need more work.
I didn’t get to finish the project on time, but there may be a possibility that production will continue…
A little girl in my 4th grade class came up to me after recess and said, “I got married at recess!” and I said “Oh? I didn’t know anyone was ordained under the age of twelve.” and she asked me what ordained meant and I explained and then she said “Oh, well, no, my wife and I were married by the slide, but we’ll be happy together anyway.”
So apparently on school playgrounds, slides are already legalizing same-sex marriage.
PSA:
When your child is trying to talk to you about something, listen first, then say what you need to.
Nothing pisses a child off more when their parents try to demean them by screaming over what they have to say.
Okay but
You gotta admit this one looks pretty cool
