“Sometimes being a friend means mastering the art of timing. There is a time for silence. A time to let go and allow people to hurl themselves into their own destiny. And a time to prepare to pick up the pieces when it’s all over.
”

“You don’t ever have to feel guilty about removing toxic people from your life. It doesn’t matter whether someone is a relative, romantic interest, employer, childhood friend, or a new acquaintance — you don’t have to make room for people who cause you pain or make you feel small. It’s one thing if a person owns up to their behavior and makes an effort to change. But if a person disregards your feelings, ignores your boundaries, and continues to treat you in a harmful way, they need to go.”

Exposing the link between the Mormon Church and the Boy Scout’s gay ban

current:

Why is it that every time you turn over a homophobic rock you find the Mormon Church hiding under it? Stephanie Miller and Matthew Breen look at the connection between the delay in ending the gay ban in Boy Scouts and the Mormons. Breen says that the Mormon Church are “hugely invested” in the Boy Scouts. He adds that the delay is because right now the Boy Scouts are calculating the loss of sponsorship from the Mormon Church versus the loss of corporate sponsors. Breen and Stephanie also speak about marriage equality’s momentum in society. Breen says people now see discrimination as “un-American.”

ashesforjustice: anarcho-queer: NYPD Raid Gay Party And Beats Owner While Yelling Homophobic Slurs A group of homophobic cops committed “a hate crime” at a gay pride party in Brooklyn early Sunday, beating up the host while screaming hateful slurs, the alleged victim told the Daily News. Officers from the 77th Precinct, responding to reports of noise at the Sterling Place party, “bum-rushed” Jabbar Campbell after he opened the door of his apartment. “They were screaming and cursing saying things like ‘fag,’ ‘homo,’ ‘a—hole,’ just a bunch of anti-gay slurs,” Campbell, a 32-year-old forensic specialist, told The News. Campbell said he was beaten by the officers, who bloodied his mouth, split open his lip and caused swelling to his left eye. He was then handcuffed and charged with resisting arrest — and spent 24 hours in police custody. Campbell filed legal paperwork Wednesday revealing his intention to sue the city. The incident began around 2:50 a.m. with two cops responding to a noise complaint at Jabbar’s Crown Heights building. The officers told revelers — some dressed in drag — outside Campbell’s home to keep it down. Those officers left, but about 10 minutes later, another group of cops arrived, Campbell said. The officers buzzed at the locked door — and one even reached out to disable the surveillance camera in the vestibule. “They were trying to open the door, but it was locked,” Campbell said. “They were banging with their flashlights.” After about 10 minutes, Campbell let the officers in. “They said, ‘Stop resisting arrest.’ I said, ‘I am not resisting.’” But the cops beat him up anyway, he said. “I blacked out. I was concerned for my life,” said Campbell. The victim’s lawyer said the officer’s attempt to disable the camera would be a key part of the case. “They were trying to conceal the evidence by turning the camera away,” said the lawyer, Herb Subin. “They committed a hate crime inside a gay pride event.” The NYPD did not respond to an initial request for comment. Note: A protest will be held on Monday the 21st at 1313 Sterling Place Brooklyn @ 4pm to demand justice for Campbell.  And you wanna know why black queer folks don’t get down with cops??? Things like this happen all too often, yet we’re supposed to be satisfied with gay marriage?
