The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is targeting LGBTQ stories. They are trying to control what you see on television. This government overreach is dangerous to the existence of an independent and free media.
In a Public Notice released on April 22, 2026, the FCC is asking Americans to submit comments about whether the TV Oversight Management Board (TVOMB) should create new TV ratings to alert viewers to “transgender and gender non-binary programming” and “the discussion or promotion of gender identity themes.”
The public has until May 22 to submit comments and tell the FCC that LGBTQ characters and stories on television do not harm anyone – our lives should not be compared to content that is violent, coarse, sexual, or includes drug use.

For Jewish American Heritage Month, we are holding space for the words of Chella Man. As a Deaf, Trans, Jewish, and Chinese artist, Chella’s journey is a masterclass in radical self-acceptance.
In a world that often demands marginalized people define themselves by their struggles, Chella reminds us that joy is not a political response. It is a human right. His impact reaches far beyond the screen or the gallery. He teaches us that our identity isn't just about what we fight against, but the quiet, undeniable power of who we are when we finally feel safe in our own skin.
How are you protecting your joy today?

For Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re spotlighting organizations that create literal breathing room for our community. First up: The Brown Boi Project. BBP is a community of masculine-of-center people, transformational leaders, and allies working to build healthy frameworks of masculinity. As BBP member Van puts it, it’s a space to "define myself for myself." By dismantling rigid stereotypes and fostering radical connection, they aren't just changing lives, they’re saving them.
Mental health isn't just about clinical resources; it’s about finding a place where you are finally seen. 🤎
To learn more about their mission and see if this is the right space for you, head over to @thebrownboiproject or visit their website.
