Merry Christmas everyone! I'll also be donating blood to the American Red Cross on December 15th (we're hosting a blood drive at the church).

This donation will also cover @Peace.

Well I don’t see the blood actually exiting your body, and the set looks as fake as the moon landing, but I’ll accept it.

homophobia is embedded into our society in ways that so many people don't even recognize. the red cross, for example, doesn't allow men to donate if they have had sex with another man in the past 3 months (category Donor Deferral for Men Who Have Had Sex With Men). this ineligibility was determined near the beginning of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, which people blamed on the gay community. HIV/AIDS was referred to as the "gay plague." you can learn more about homophobia and HIV here.

 

outreach, inc. is a local organization that aims to educate the madison community about the damaging effects of queer violence, emphasizes the importance of understanding intersectionality, prioritizes enabling people with oppressed identities of all ages, and creates safe spaces for those who may not be able to find that elsewhere.

Just an update!

I organized an American Red Cross blood drive at our church since we have the facilities to easily hold one. It was our first ever blood drive, and it was a huge success. We were able to collect 24 units of blood, which equals out to 72 lives being saved or helped!

This is through Island Harvest. Can't forget that families might not be able to get food on their tables during the holidays. Island Harvest is a charity based on Long Island that helps fight hunger.

 

This is for this:
