Transgender Bathroom Case

Does anyone know who this is? No? This is a transgender teen who changed a law for all transgender teens. The Federal Court ruled that a transgender (female to male or male to female) can use the bathroom they desire. The Education Board was discriminating against Gavin Grimm for using his preferred restroom. They believed you needed to use the bathroom with your biological gender. In this article it shows you the story behind the fight for all transgenders. https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/federal-appeals-court-sides-with-trangender-teen-says-bathroom-case-can-go-forward/2016/04/19/6a873b88-f76b-11e5-9804-537defcc3cf6_story.html

NOH8

The NOH8 Campaign is a charitable organization whose mission is to promote equality. In November, Proposition 8 passed in California, the state Constitution to ban same-sex marriage. New political and protest organizations being formed in response. The NOH8 Campaign is a photographic silent protest created by celebrity photographer. Photos feature people with duct tape over their mouths, symbolizing them having no say in NOH8. Seven years since its inception, the NOH8 Campaign has grown to over 55,000 people. Started as a everyday life in California to people such as politicians, military personnel, newlyweds, law enforcement, artists, and celebrities.

The message of no hate helped take a stand over bullying and discrimination as well. NOH8 Campaign has done photo shoots in 48 states in the USA and 20 countries around the world. As you can see in this link there are thousands of people who help NOH8 every day. These show how if we can all come together we will fight the hate.

Celeberties that are lgbt

Frank ocean came out at age 19.
Ruby Rose came out at age 12.
Miley Cyrus came out at age 18.
Ellen DeGeneres came out in 1997.
Tyler Oakley came out in 2007.




All these celebrities have had a huge struggle coming out but have embraced who they are and have become true heroes from the lgbt people around the world. Frank Ocean has shown kids that never give up on your dream. Ruby Rose represents have anything is possible. Miley Cyrus started a Happy Hippy Foundation for homeless lgbt teenagers. Ellen DeGeneres gives advice and is a role model for millions of lgbt people. Tyler Oakley makes YouTube videos to help out anyone who is having struggles from coming out to daily things.

The good and bads

Honey, cabbage, asparagus, garlic, eggs, bananas, watermelon,  ginseng, almonds, oysters, porridge oats, citrus fruits, spinach, grapes, wild salmon, avocado, tuna, pomegranate, and meat are the best foods to eat on testosterone. I would know this because my best friend has been on testosterone for 2 years. I have also started taking some testosterone pills. The things to not eat on testosterone are ice cream, pasta, snacks, French fries, biscuits, cookies, nachos, and chicken wings.  You want to keep this in mind when you are eating anything bad for you.

The best thing to drink is water. If you are taking testosterone boosters through powder you may add it into low fat milk or water. Another good thing to drink is any type of citrus juice giving you the vitamins you need. The worst things to drink is soda and alcohol.
 

little more about Ally Week

I found this website giving a little more information about ally week. I decided to go more in depth with this because as the lgbt leader at my school we find allies as the most important people. Without them then we wouldn't feel accepted by anyone. http://www.glaad.org/blog/be-ally-lgbt-youth-glsen-ally-week-starts-today

I receive a shirt, buttons, lanyard, and stickers for being on the street team. I will be giving out all but the shirt that I have. The shirt I will wear on April 16th for day of silence.
