This morning, I put out a call for Sex Ed horror stories from former and current teens, after reading about Utah’s decision to adopt an abstinence-only policy when it comes to teaching about sexual health.

“Jackson stands out for his “fantastic libido” and highly productive semen”
– Many of the young elephants in America’s zoos have been sired by only one bull. Conservationists hope that 15 litres of frozen elephant semen, awaiting export from South Africa, will help freshen up the gene pool. (via theeconomist)

(trigger warning for homophobia)
“The ACLU is demanding that school officials rebuke Haywood County principal Dorothy Bond for harassing gay children and threatening to expel them for showing public affection for each other. At an assembly in February, Bond said gay students are “not on God’s path,” according to parents. She also said gay people are “ruining their lives.”...

His mutilated body was found swinging from the most beautiful tree in West Virginia. When you view a photo of a lynching what are you seeing? what are you supposed to be experiencing?
These were not secret or private photographs. Lynching photographs were often sold at picnics as post cards and trading cards for children. The body parts of black men and women were often...

South Dakota’s state House of Reps recently passed a bill on the definition of domestic violence, complete with amendments that modify an “intimate partnership” or “relationships” with the clause “with a member of the opposite sex.” So, gay man in an abusive relationship?

I have a private question for you. Is it wrong to get sick and tired of seeing everything being associated with racism and being racially motivated?? I feel like every disagreement on tumblr is blamed on race when PoC are involved, and because of this, I stay out of any conversations on racism. I’ve become even more discouraged to speak up about racism because...
