There is something about older LGBT couples that just warms hearts, like Mike and Phil who met in church 49 years ago. Mike: “I wore my hot red pants. They worked every time.” Phil: “They did. And I’m glad I was there to calm you down.” 📝: lostblackboy (IG)

In Jamaica, many LGBT individuals are displaced from their homes and communities because of their identity. Listen to Rosheka talk about this serious and important topic. Do you know of any LGBT people who have been kicked out of their home for being LGBT?

Hi Equality Family. It’s come to our attention that one of our phenomenal Humans of Pride, Shauna AKA “Lascooooo” has passed away.🕊 Shauna’s story moved us deeply. It was a story of self discovery and being proud of who you are that resonated with so many people.
