White House releases “Progress For The LGBT Community” infographic
The White House just published an inforgraphic that overviews the progress of LGBT Americans. @BarackObama tweeted: “From safer schools to ending #DADT, take a look at three years of progress for LGBT Americans.”
From their post:“Three years ago, “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” was the law of the land, and the words “lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender” appeared nowhere in the federal register.
Today, gay and lesbian men and women can serve their country without hiding who they are. The Obama administration has declared the Defense of Marriage Act unconstitutional, and the President is working to make our schools safer for LGBT youth.
As we celebrate three years of progress for LGBT Americans under President Obama — and work toward another four — here’s a look at how far we’ve come since the President took office.”

The Universal Declaration of Queer Rights
If you haven’t already, reblog this and spread the word that, as an individual, you deserve these rights. Reblog, email, post to facebook, or print it out and hang it up for people to see. The sooner people realize that these rights cannot be denied to you, the sooner they will change themselves.
Print this picture and hang it somewhere where it’ll make an impact then take a photo of it, wherever you’ve placed it, and submit that picture to us!
