Straight Privilege

"This article is based on Peggy McIntosh’s article on white privilege and was written by a number of straight-identified students at Earlham College who got together to look at some examples of straight privilege. These dynamics are but a few examples of the privilege which straight people have. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and queer-identified folk have a range of different experiences, but cannot count on most of these conditions in their lives." A list follows at:

You may want to show this list to someone today, as an action to celebrate the International Day Against Homophobia!

May 17th is the International Day Against Homophobia

Did you know that the World Health Organization removed homosexuality from the list of mental illnesses on a May 17th? That's why that was chosen as The International Day Against Homophobia. Just before the first World Outgames opened in 2006, a conference on human rights took place and instigated the IDAHO. See PFLAG announcement at right of this post for info on a Calgary event in honour of this day. The website is a great resource, too.
