#AskNordicAmbs: HRC to Moderate Second Twitter Town Hall with Nordic Ambassadors
Join the Human Rights Campaign and the Nordic ambassadors to the U.S. from Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden on Twitter on Friday, June 8, from 10 – 11 a.m. EST to discuss equality and LGBTQI rights. HRC will moderate a virtual Town Hall with the Nordic ambassadors in honor of the upcoming D.C. Capital Pride. Participate on Twitter at #AskNordicAmbs.
Equality is a fundamental value in the Nordic countries of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. Marriage equality is the law and same-sex couples are able to adopt children in all five countries. Promoting equal rights abroad is also a central priority for the Nordic countries. The Nordics believe that supporting human rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and intersex persons is the responsibility of all governments and people.
The Nordics work for LGBTQI rights individually and jointly through the United Nations as well as through various funds and initiatives such as the U.S.-led Global Equality Fund. Working together increases effectiveness and shows that ensuring the ability of LGBTQI persons to live safely, freely and without discrimination is a growing priority among many governments.
HRC Global is committed to a world where everyone is assured of fundamental fairness and equality. We work to strengthen the global equality movement by supporting the efforts of LGBTQI organizations and advocates abroad, raising awareness of discrimination and persecution faced by LGBTQI people and advocating for an LGBTQI-inclusive U.S. foreign policy.

BREAKING: Bermuda Supreme Court Rules in Favor of Marriage Equality
Today, HRC celebrated a historic decision by the Bermuda Supreme Court overturning the nation’s ban on same-sex marriage. The court’s decision comes in response to legal challenges to newly enacted domestic partnership legislation that repealed marriage equality in Bermuda.
“The Bermuda Supreme Court has righted the injustice that occurred when Bermudian lawmakers made the islands the first national territory in the world to repeal marriage equality,” said Ty Cobb, director of HRC’s global department. “We congratulate the plaintiffs in this case on their historic victory ensuring that once again, Love Wins!”
The Supreme Court’s decision today invalidates sections of the recently enacted Domestic Partnership Act that removed full marriage rights for same-sex couples. Bermuda first achieved marriage equality through a Supreme Court ruling in May 2017 in a case brought by a couple who challenged the Registrar-General’s rejection of their application to marry. However, in response to the court’s decision, the Parliament of Bermuda enacted legislation repealing marriage equality and replacing it with domestic partnership benefits.
In a letter to lawmakers, the CEO of the Bermuda Tourism Authority warned of consequences for the tourism industry, citing economic fallout over anti-LGBTQ measures in the U.S. states of North Carolina and Indiana in 2016 and 2015. The letter stated, “Significantly, it’s not only LGBT travelers that care about equal rights based on sexual orientation. Our research indicates many companies, consumers and travelers, including the overwhelming majority of the younger visitors powering Bermuda’s growth, care about this issue. It’s why the fallout in North Carolina and Indiana has proven so detrimental.”

Ice Cream Shop Worker Attacked Defending Gay Couple Pursued by Homophobic Mob of 15 Men at Utah Pride Festival
Police are searching for those involved in a disturbing homophobic mob attack at the Utah Pride festival in Salt Lake City on Saturday which left an ice cream shop worker with minor injuries and a gay couple very shaken.
Terrance Mannery, a worker at the Doki Doki ice cream shop where the gay couple sought refuge after being pursued, fought off a group of approximately 15 men who were chasing them and yelling homophobic slurs.
Said Mannery: “I stepped forward and was pretty much like no you’re not coming into the store and causing trouble.”
Mannery said they were throwing punches, and sustained a small injury to his face: “No weapons, no kicking. Just punches and they seemed like they were trying to pull me out but that kind of worked to my advantage because I wanted them out of the store.”
Witness Michelle Turpin described the mob as “all very clean cut, you know like blonde haired, blue eyed, typical Utah 20-year-old boys.”
The Salt Lake Tribune adds: “A woman outside the shop tried to break up the crowd as Mannery kept fighting, Mannery said. Finally, a security guard from a neighboring building approached, and the mob ran away.”
The store has no surveillance cameras. Anyone with information on the attack is asked to call 801-799-3000.
The Utah Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of those involved.

VA SCHOOL BOARD IN GRIMM CASE APPEALS FED COURT DECISION AFFIRMING PROTECTIONS FOR TRANS STUDENTS: Gloucester County School Board has appealed a ruling affirming that Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 protects transgender students from discrimination — including being forced to use separate bathroom facilities. “No student should feel unsafe at school, regardless of gender identity. Transgender students are covered by Title IX and are entitled to the same rights and protections as every other student,” Sarah Warbelow, HRC Legal Director said of the original decision. Gavin Grimm had challenged the school district’s policy that prevented him from using the restroom that corresponded with his gender identity. More from Chicago Tribune.
CELEBRITY CHEFS AFFIRM THEY ARE #OPENTOALL: Art Smith, a former “Top Chef Masters” star and personal chef to Oprah, is calling on LGBTQ bakers to take his “sweet advice” and spread the message that they are #OpenToAll following the ruling in Masterpiece Cakeshop case. Last year, HRC organized the ‘Chefs for Equality’ brief that includes bakers, chefs, restaurateurs and other culinary industry leaders who oppose discrimination against LGBTQ people — the central issue in the case. Smith joins chefs, including Duff Goldman, who have affirmed they support the LGBTQ community. More from TMZ.

MORE THAN 100 MEMBERS OF CONGRESS CALL ON TRUMP-PENCE TO OVERTURN THEIR UNCONSTITUTIONAL BAN ON TRANS TROOPS: The letter, led by Congressman Joe Kennedy (D-Mass.), calls the ban “antithetical to our country’s and our military’s values and belittles the extraordinary commitment by our transgender service members.” In April, a federal court in Seattle found that the implementation plan of the ban violates the Constitution, and that the lawsuit brought by Lambda Legal and OutServe-SLDN — in which HRC is an organizational plaintiff — can proceed to trial. More from USA Today.
Trump & Pence’s transgender military ban hurts our troops and endangers our national security — and it must be overturned. Thank you @RepJoeKennedy and the 100+ members of Congress standing on the right side of history. #ProtectTransTroops t.co/L7MacPJwL8

OkCupid’s new ACLU #RightToLove badge helps you filter for dates looking for love — and justice
At OkCupid, we match people over what they care about. As it turns out, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is one of those things that really matters to them. Ninety percent of the OkCupid users who responded to the question “Do you support the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU)?” said “yes.” That’s one of the highest agreement percentages of all of our thousands of questions.
It’s not surprising that so many of our users support the ACLU. First, the non-profit does amazing work to protect all individuals’ civil rights — fighting for LGBTQ rights, women’s rights, and the rights of those who are incarcerated, to just name a few. In fact, the ACLU is currently tirelessly working on the Masterpiece case after the Supreme Court’s ruling on the LGBTQ rights case earlier this week. At OkCupid, we also have a long history of inclusion, being the first dating app to offer 22 gender and 12 orientation options.
Secondly, in today’s political climate, people care more about their dates sharing their political and social beliefs than ever before; our data shows that differing beliefs on both are the biggest dating deal breakers today. So to help the majority of OkCupid users who want to find a date looking for love (and justice), today we’re introducing the #RightToLove profile badge in partnership with the ACLU. With the recent Supreme Court decision on Masterpiece, and June being LGBT Pride Month, there’s no better time to celebrate, and fight for, everyone’s right to love.
All users in the U.S. who publicly answer “yes” to the ACLU question will receive the badge. Responses to our questions have always worked to inform our algorithm and connect people over what’s important to them, but the #RightToLove badge will make it even easier for daters to connect with other supporters. The badge not only highlights their support on their profiles, but it will also promote supporters to one another.
It’s not just support for the ACLU that these badge holders will likely share. Daters who support the ACLU are four times more likely to consider themselves feminist (and are looking to date a feminist, too). They’re also twice as likely to have responded “Hell no” to our question “Trump?” and 30% more likely to believe in climate change. So filtering for one deal breaker can end up saving you some time on filtering for other deal breakers (and makers) as well.
Wouldn’t you rather date someone who wears cargo shorts (and actually puts stuff in the pockets) than someone who doesn’t support basic human rights? The #RightToLove badge won’t just make you feel better about yourself and your matches — for every OkCupid user with the badge, we’ll donate a dollar to the ACLU, up to $50,000. “At OkCupid, we’re proud to be a champion of inclusivity because we believe you should be able to love whomever you want, regardless of your gender, sexual orientation, or ethnicity,” says Melissa Hobley, OkCupid’s CMO. “Our community has a long history of support of this message, which makes the ACLU the perfect pick for this engagement.”
If you’d like to connect with someone who supports the ACLU, answer the question publicly here. The badge will be available through the summer so you can find great dates, no matter what you’re looking for.
OkCupid lets you meet people based on what you care about. Sign up today.
OkCupid’s new ACLU #RightToLove badge helps you filter for dates looking for love — and justice was originally published in The OkCupid Blog on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.
