1. I just signed up
Thank you for posting the link.

I can't stop thinking about that poor young man from Rutgers, and everyone else who needs someone else to give a damn about them, and about their lives.

5. I don't know why, Tansy, but your comment brought tears to my eyes.
Maybe because they think nobody does?

6. Thank you. I NEVER get tee shirts with messages on them, but I'm getting one
of these as well as get them as Christmas presents for my friends. We'll all wear them proudly.

9. gay? fine by me.
i'm not big on t-shirts with messages but i've been wearing these for years.

Seems that we have to redouble our efforts...


Atticus Circle educates and mobilizes straight people to advance equal rights for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) partners, parents, and their children.
To accomplish our goal, Atticus Circle focuses on education and policy development.
Education
Atticus Circle provides information about the rights of parents and partners denied on the basis of sexual orientation. We seek to create cultural and attitudinal change by helping people understand the unique challenges and discrimination same gender couples and their families face, and by encouraging acceptance of all families and partnerships.
Policy Development
Atticus Circle conducts research, publishes materials, and works with businesses and policy institutions to develop ideas and policies that foster equal rights for same gender partners and their families.
