So we're gonna try and do this thing where we post LGBT-related newsweekly.
Time for news releasing: 10:50 A.M. (roughly) (and yes we know it's late today) EDT time, every Wednesday.
Also, a good chunk will revolve around the U.S., since we live there and that's the news we get most often, but we'll try to include other countries!
Okay, we shall begin now, later posts will probably get more formal over time :)
-----------------------------------------------
California to make toy retail shops to go gender-neutral by 2024: Not really sure what we think of this, to be honest. Like, do you mean there will be three aisles now (masc, fem, neutral), or is there only going to be a neutral aisle? Because we feel things being organized by gender presentation is helpful if you're looking for something that's specifically fem or something, you know? Not saying boys can't go into a girl's aisle, or that a girl can't go into a boy's aisle, but it's easier to organize.
The new Super-Man has come out as bisexual in DC comics: Honestly, we don't like DC much, but this is amazing. He's also now romantically involved with a male. On a less positive note, Dean Cain, a past Superman actor, said it was not brave for him to be bisexual and just bandwagoning, which is another way of saying it's a trend.
There will be a "third gender" option on passports in the U.S. soon: Well, it hasn't exactly been worked out as "soon" per se, but they're working on legalizing it currently. Personally, we think it would be better to label the option as "non-binary" instead, because the third gender is usually a cultural thing, such as the Native American's Two-Spirit.
Gay marriage is an option for Dutch royalty: On Tuesday, the Prime Minister stating that the crown princess could marry someone of the same gender as does not have to forfeit her rights to the crown. The current Dutch crown princess (17) has yet to comment on this, and most of her personal life is fairly private.
