Let us make this absolutely 100% clear. We will NEVER abandon our trans and non-binary family. Never. And if you are willing to then you are not an ally or friend of ours. There is no LGB without T.

Know that if you're trans, non-binary, or otherwise gender queer, we are here for you always.

It's essential to remember those who blazed the trails for us and Miss Major is a prime example of such a person. Sending all love to her friends and family.

ACLU @aclu.org · 1d

The trailblazing transgender rights activist Miss Major has passed away at the age of 78.

Miss Major was a lifelong organizer and participant in the ballroom scene. She took part in the 1969 Stonewall Riots and was injured by the police — but she kept fighting.

This is a brilliant and affecting statement of one person's commitment to inclusion.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Today we celebrate Indigenous Peoples' Day, honoring those upon whose lands we live, work, & play.

The contributions they've made to society, their vivid cultures & histories, and their resilience in the face of challenges up to present day must be acknowledged, and cannot be erased.

Very few events may have been more galvanizing in the movement for LGBT+ rights than the murder of Matthew Shephard. During this LGBT+ History Month, if you're one of a generation who were not affected by Matthew's death, this is the perfect time to read about him and his legacy.

Mrs. Betty Bowers @mrsbettybowers.bsky.social · 2d

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

We just state the facts, sir. We leave conclusion drawing to you.

With that draw, @unionomaha.bsky.social retains its lead over "draw" in the head-to-head matchup with Greenville. Greenville wins come in a far third.

Not OP, but happy to answer, yes.

Proud Owls ⭐⭐ @proudowlsoma.bsky.social · 3d

Almost longing for the moments before we had a broadcast rather than listening to these two call this match.

@unionomaha.bsky.social Any update on whether the game will be broadcast?

Proud Owls ⭐⭐ @proudowlsoma.bsky.social · 3d

@unionomaha.bsky.social Did someone forget to tell ESPN that the game time changed?

🌈 Today’s a reminder that every coming out story—loud or quiet, public or private—is an act of courage. You are seen, you are valid, and you are loved. #NationalComingOutDay

Today is National Coming Out Day - a day to welcome those who are ready to join our community out loud, and to recognize the barriers that remain for so many. Whether you're out, or ready to be out, or still need to live quietly, please know that we love you and you are part of this community.

A newly published study has argued the Cass Review into trans youth care, published in April 2024, is full of 'stigma' and 'misinformation'.

This will be one that sticks with us for a long time. To all the sickos who stayed, got drenched, froze, and screamed until the beautiful final whistle...we couldn't love you more even if we tried (and we never try)

And how about those Owls. Let's fucking go!

I'm so proud of this club. And I'm so proud of all the folks that stayed (or came back) to finish the match and cheer the boys on to a win. Viva Buhos, forever.

Union Omaha @unionomaha.bsky.social · 9d

That's three points secured and so much more, just how we drew it up! Y'know, despite all that conspired to keep this match from finishing.

We love you guys. Thanks for sticking with us. 🫶

We have two entry points, but we also have a third-party security group that can be ... difficult ... in the best of times.

Nice little Ryan Becher celebration after the Pinho banger.

It bounces. IYKYK.

See you next time, Naples.

Things got a bit heated, but Union Omaha walks away with the 3 points and clinches yet ANOTHER playoff birth.

This club has never not made the playoffs - and that streak will continue in 2025! Viva Búhos. One Means All. #OwlPride

Union Omaha @unionomaha.bsky.social · 9d

Oh yeah, and with that, we are BACK in the playoffs!

Our title defense is still very, very much on. 😤

Thanks so much to all for your patience, by the way! A lot was up in the air (as you can imagine), so we weren't able to give as many updates as we'd have liked.

We appreciate all of you so much for your support, and let's make it a great last third of this match! 🫶

That's interesting. They're very picky about things like that here.
