What most struck me about Reneé Rapp’s willingness to say the words “ceasefire in Gaza” from the GLAAD stage is how rare it is, even now, to see eventhat level of advocacy at all.

Jodie Foster spoke out against Trump at a pre-Oscars rally, Moonlight dominated the Independent Spirit Awards, Ellen gave away her biggest gift(s) ever, Slovenia legalized same-sex marriage, and two gays finally touched lips on the Disney Channel.

We are looking for work as a Senior Champion for Sexual Orientation or within Kathy Griffin’s New Gay Activist Campaign for Oscars & Equal Rights.

I’ve had more than my fill this year of heartbreaking commentary about the movement for women’s rights from people I assumed were, well, on my level. And the one thing which unites them all is that they’re white women, and their comments exemplify what’s wrong with White Feminism.

Autostraddle will be “live-blogging” election happenings coming in from Maine (voting on Question 1, could reverse law permitting same-sex marriage) and Washington (voting on Referendum 71 which would permit “everything but” marriage for Washington same-sex couples). And you know, whatever else happens. Hopefully no-one will get hurt this time.
