Comments always appreciated, as long as you keep it clean – I love to hear your feedback! xx
Leeds Pride 2019 – words are wholly inadequate to describe what an amazing day this was. The outpouring of love and togetherness was jaw-dropping, the crowds along the streets were even bigger than last year! My favourite day of the year, as has been the case for the last 3 years since my first one.
It makes me fill up just going back through all these memories.
After meeting Beth and her Daughter before the parade, I had a message from her later on saying – Disaster – C made key rings for you and Gemma but she forgot to give them to you!
Well, if the rest of the day wasn’t emotional enough, we went to see them again after the parade.
Even better, we were able to go along with Sue so Sue could personally meet the people who had made the gift last year that ultimately has inspired her to change her life.
Small acts of love can do amazing things! This is what the world can look like, if we are nice to each other!

Coming Out (Rome, Italy)
courthouselover posted a photo:
Rome (Roma in Italian) is the capital city and a special comune of Italy (named Comune di Roma Capitale). Rome also serves as the capital of the Lazio region. With 2,872,800 residents in 496.1 square miles (1,285 square kilometers), it is also the country’s most populated comune. It is the fourth most populous city in the European Union by population within city limits, and the most populous metropolitan city in Italy. Rome is located in the central-western portion of the Italian Peninsula, within Lazio (Latium), along the shores of the Tiber. The Vatican City (the smallest country in the world) is an independent country inside the city boundaries of Rome, the only existing example of a country within a city: for this reason Rome has been often defined as capital of two states.
Rome’s history spans 28 centuries. While Roman mythology dates the founding of Rome at around 753 BC, the site has been inhabited for much longer, making it one of the oldest continuously occupied sites in Europe. The city’s early population originated from a mix of Latins, Etruscans, and Sabines. Eventually, the city successively became the capital of the Roman Kingdom, the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire, and is regarded by some as the first ever metropolis. It was first called The Eternal City (Urbs Aeterna in Latin or La Città Eterna in Italian) by the Roman poet Tibullus in the 1st century BC, and the expression was also taken up by Ovid, Virgil, and Livy. Rome is also called the “Caput Mundi” (Capital of the World). After the fall of the Western Empire, which marked the beginning of the Middle Ages, Rome slowly fell under the political control of the Papacy, and in the 8th century it became the capital of the Papal States, which lasted until 1870. Beginning with the Renaissance, almost all the popes since Nicholas V (1447–1455) pursued over four hundred years a coherent architectural and urban program aimed at making the city the artistic and cultural center of the world. In this way, Rome became first one of the major centers of the Italian Renaissance, and then the birthplace of both the Baroque style and Neoclassicism. Famous artists, painters, sculptors and architects made Rome the center of their activity, creating masterpieces throughout the city. In 1871, Rome became the capital of the Kingdom of Italy, which, in 1946, became the Italian Republic.
The historic center of Rome is listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.

School Principal Who Fought to Ban Books Over ‘Homosexual Content’ Arrested for Lewd Photos of Children
Philip Todd Wilson, a former Kentucky school principal who ten years ago fought to ban books said to include “homosexual content” has been arrested and charged on 30 offenses related to possession and distribution of sickening photos of children.
The Winchester Sun reports: ‘According to Wilson’s arrest citation, state troopers in Richmond received a complaint Tuesday morning that Wilson possessed “explicit child p*rn*graphy” and had distributed it to another individual. KSP Detective Austin Brashear said in the citation that he interviewed Wilson and found approximately 15 images, and that he had distributed them within Clark County. … Wednesday morning, Clark District Judge Cole Adams Maier entered an automatic not guilty plea for Wilson, because the charges are all felonies. A preliminary hearing was scheduled for Sept. 4. Maier appointed a public defender for Wilson, but left his $25,000 cash bond unchanged, including conditions that he have no contact with minor children or any Clark County schools.’
In 2009, Wilson campaigned to ban several books including Twisted by Laurie Halse Anderson, Deadline by Chris Crutcher, Lessons from a Dead Girl by Jo Knowles, and Unwind by Neal Shusterman.
According to one report from 2009, “The novels apparently portray teenagers who are struggling with dysfunctional families, sexual desire and thoughts of suicide.”
‘The Lexington Herald-Leader reported at the time that some parents complained the novels “contain foul language and cover topics — including sex, child abuse, suicide and drug abuse — unsuited for discussion in coed high school classes.”
Risha Mullins, the teacher who had the books in her classroom, would later write in a blog post that a parent of a student who chose to read “Lessons from a Dead Girl” emailed her along with Wilson, the superintendent and school board members and claimed she taught “soft pornography.”
Wilson and Montgomery County High School administrators eventually decided to pull the books in question from Mullins’ classroom, the teacher wrote in a post that was later deleted but archived in part by a blog dedicated to censorship issues.
Mullins wrote that several letters to the editor in the community newspaper targeted her in the weeks following the book ban and that colleagues stopped talking to her.
One of the authors, Jo Knowles, spoke out on Facebook following Wilson’s arrest: ‘The principal of the Kentucky high school who fought to ban my book, LESSONS FROM A DEAD GIRL (for “homosexual and other inappropriate content”) along w/ bks by Laurie Halse Anderson, Chris Crutcher & Neal Schusterman was just arrested on child p*rn*graphy charges (possession and distribution). He’s charged with fifteen counts of distribution of matter portraying sexual performance by a minor, and fifteen counts of possessing matter portraying sexual performance by a minor. I was a very new author at the time all this happened and the press coverage was overwhelming. I was horrified by the accusations he and the superintendent made. And heartbroken for the brave teacher, Risha Allen Mullins who stood up for our books and faced so much unfair criticism.
I am having a lot of feelings right now. As I said to some friends last night when I got the news, “You can’t make this shit up.”‘
Anderson spoke out as well: “A man tried to ban Speak from school & public libraries in 2009 cuz it was “pornographic.” I wrote an op-ed in his newspaper & said anyone who finds the rape of a 14-year-old sexually exciting has serious problems. Poisonous leaders use their power to protect their evil.”
