IT’S PRIDE MONTH!!! In June, we’re launching a very special fundraiser: Protect the Waters, Protect the Mermaids. In the spirit of valuing the importance of intersectionality in our work, all proceeds from this fundraiser will be split three ways between Fandom Forward, River Valley Organizing (in support of their youth chapters), and Mermaids (in support of their work to protect trans folks in the UK).

![What does LGBT stand for? And should I use it?
I discuss a few of the confusions and controversies surrounding the LGBT initialism and offer some alternatives.
Are there any things you dont quite understand about sexuality, gender identity or related topics? Leave your question in the comments and me (or someone more knowledgeable) will respond :]
***Everything I say is just how Ive so far come to understand things from all of my personal research, experiences and conversations with people. Take everything I say with a grain of salt and please feel free to school me.
