Writing about the intersection of politics and law during this tumultuous time in American history can be taxing. Since mental health experts say gratitude can reverse the psychological harm caused by Trump’s rotating buffoonery, I was determined to share my heartfelt gratitude over the Thanksgiving holiday. This year I’m thankful for:
The 2024 presidential election has left many in the LGBTQ community, people of color, women, and other marginalized groups grappling with a harsh reality: Donald Trump is returning to The White House.
For over three decades, CAN Community Health has been a cornerstone in the fight against HIV/AIDS, empowering individuals and transforming communities. With an unwavering commitment to compassionate care, equitable access, and innovative solutions, CAN is not just participating in the effort to end the HIV epidemic — it is leading it.
I’m watching the first snow in Chicago, fighting an urge to withdraw from national news for a while. Any familiarity with world history makes clear the imperative of resistance before jackboots kick down the door, but watching Republicans’ abrogation of duty in service to a charlatan taxes one’s mental health. I don’t want to give Donald Trump and his unqualified goons that much power.
Thanksgiving, for me, is a time to pause, reflect, and truly embrace gratitude for the remarkable people, places, and experiences that have shaped our lives — whether from years ago or those we cherish today. This profound sense of appreciation brings a happiness that is deeply special and lasting.
As Dec. 1 approaches, we are reminded of the profound significance of World AIDS Day. This day is dedicated to honoring those lost to HIV/AIDS and advocating for those living with the virus. In Florida, particularly within the LGBTQ community, World AIDS Day serves as a poignant reminder of the ongoing battle against HIV/AIDS and the resilience of those affected.
After the Democratic Party’s defeat, a chorus of elected officials and party operatives pointed the blame not at themselves, but at trans people who are part of one of the only constituencies Vice President Kamala Harris made gains with. Looking at the numbers, the Democratic Party should only be saying one thing to the LGBTQ community — thank you.
Giving the middle finger to anyone who bought his schtick about lasting peace, Donald Trump has chosen stunningly unqualified cranks and loyalists to help him burn down the government.
Community leader Cathy Cerniglia from Over Easy Cafe has initiated help for acclaimed photographer Michael Murphy, a community icon who has been a South Florida game changer in every way that has supported our community for nearly 35 years.
One of the most ridiculous customs of the 21st century is a gender reveal party, one in which parents claim to reveal their unborn infant’s gender.
