Gay marriage is now legal again in the state of Alabama. «9:17 a.m. Vestavia Hills couple April and Ginger Aaron-Brush have a pending federal lawsuit in Birmingham seeking Alabama’s recognition of their marriage in Massachusetts so they can have a dual adoption of their daughter. So far only April has been able to adopt. “April and Ginger are ecstatic,” said Joel Dillard, who along with Wendy Brooks Crew represent the couple, said this morning. “This is the ultimate seal of approval on April and Ginger’s adoption of the daughter they have raised together since days after her birth. It will enable them to also achieve every change in Alabama law that discriminates against them and every other couple like them. Our next appearance in federal court on their behalf, next month, will be an equally joyous day for April and Ginger, and for every member of the legal team they assembled to bring this relief to thousands of Alabama couples like them.» http://ift.tt/1GNCFqk

If the President wants to celebrate with us, he should release the LGBTQ immigrants locked up in detention centers immediately.”» #SignalBoost #NotOneMore #NiUnaMas

Here is literally the single most privileged man in the solar system lecturing, shaming and then forcibly silencing and physically removing a trans WoC activist, so that he can assert his right to talk and talk unchallenged about to an exclusive party in his multimillion dollar mansion, about Gay Pride, natch. Rather than answering real questions about systematic state violence against trans folks caught in the gears of his immigration control system. Support Jennicet Gutiérrez, not respectable-citizen politics as usual. Release all L.G.B.T.Q. immigrants from detention* and stop all deportations. #AbolishThePresidency #NiUnaMas
