LGBT “Greeting Cards”
These are PERFECT! There are basically no other cards like this that I have seen!
I also designed some male related ones along the same lines as the previous cards.

Gay Days: Under Fire
A recent report found on Huffington Post says that Gay Days in Disney are being hotly debated by One Million Moms.
What are Gay Days, you ask? They are a series of days/ celebrations that occur over a specified span of time hosted by Disney to encourage Gay Pride in the Disney parks and resorts. The picture above was taken from one Gay Day.
The people leading the protest are One Million Moms. Yes, you may remember them for boycotting JC Penney after they hired Ellen as a spokesperson.
But, clearly, that worked out well.

Delaware Becomes the 11th State to Legalize Same-Sex Marriage
Yay Delaware!
Great news comes from Delaware today after the state became the 11th in the U.S. to make same-sex marriage legal.
The news comes only a week after Rhode Island became the 10th state to legalize same-sex marriage. Currently, Delaware provides civil unions to same-sex relationships providing their only means of being recognized legally as couple. On July 1, 2013, same-sex marriage will be made legal in the state providing same-sex couples with equal rights to heterosexual couples who marry within the state. Although the new measure will not provide any rights beyond what civil unions previously did within Delaware, it creates a system of marriage without differentiation whether it be by name or by rights awarded. All civil unions previously performed in Delaware will automatically be converted into marriages. Also, same-sex marriages performed in other states will be recognized by Delaware as valid.
The same-sex marriage bill passed the Delaware…

Zambian Couple Arrested a Second Time for Sodomy
Another great blog post highlighting an important point.
(Kapiri Mposhi, Zambia) Two men were arrested by police over the weekend for allegedly engaging in homosexual behavior. The men’s bail has been revoked by the police, and the two will remain behind bars until their hearing.
This is not the first time the two gay men, James Mwape and Philp Mubiana, both aged 21 have been arrested for same-sex sexual activity in the central province of Kapiri Mposhi, Zambia. That is why police have decided to revoke the men’s bail so they must stay in prison until they are heard in court.
The two have been living together as “man and wife” according to news outlets, I am guessing in an attempt to fit Zambian cultural norms. One partner played a more “female role”. This so outraged his family that they turned the couple into police. The two were arrested and Standwell Lungu, police chief in Zambia’s central province, was…

Gay at the NBA or how Jason Collins wins at life
Interesting blog, and interesting subject matter!
On the April 29, 2013 Jason Collins came out of the closet and proudly announced he was gay. He became the first active male athlete from one of the four major north American professional team sports to do so.
Weibo user @达人人人 put it best:
Why are so many people upset about one NBA player’s announcement that he’s gay? Celebrities have congratulated him, the president has congratulated him, the White House has congratulated him. I will send him congratulations myself. Mr. Jason Collins, you win at life!
Being gay, black, professional basketball athlete, I would assume, is not easy, but I think Jason is doing just about great. My main problem with this particular issue is the fact that the hype surrounding Jason Collins has reached an incredibly crazy rumours. Internet is already filled with ridiculous messages about him wanting to write a book about his life and coming out.
But when I read something like this

Hello world! What is the issue?
Welcome to my blog, Hide and Seek Forever! Thank you for taking the time to read this blog!
I wanted to start this blog for a while, so this is a very good moment! You may be asking, what is this blog about? The title is crazy elusive and says nothing.
Well, this blog is primarily about LGBT issues. This is a very hot button topic, especially recently with the passage of more same-sex marriage laws in the United States.
I am gay, and before I came out to a lot of friends, I remember one of the few people who knew come to me and say, “Come out, come out, wherever you are.” I know it was meant to be a joke, but it wasn’t funny, at least to me at that time.
A lot of people still don’t know, but I have a group of great friends and have built a small but mighty support system for myself! However, I feel like the coming out and even identification process of being able to say “Hello, I’m gay [or trans, bi, etc.]) is harder than just getting up one day and announcing it to the sky. Most people spend their entire lives being told that they are something. “You are tall, you are an athlete, you have a small nose, you are straight, you are a boy, etc.” So being able to accept that you may not be something that you have grown up believing is not just a process of explaining to your peers and family, it is also a process of acceptance within YOURSELF.
