Please share. In June, #GayParentMagazine Facebook page was compromised & forced off line by people unsupportive of LGBTs. A campaign was started to rebuild & redirect its audience. We're asking supporters to help by following Gay Parent Magazine-original bit.ly/4oMN14j

yes this timeline is a rough route. yes there are waves of strife. but behind it all lies the inertia of all things which prompted fish to trot out of the ocean and humans to gather in commune. we are driven to fill the nothing with ourselves, with LOVE. its the unconquerable wind behind our sails

Among @jstor.bsky.social ‘s recommendations is CRUSH:

“Crush works well for introductory creative writing and poetry courses, as well as courses dedicated to LGBTQIA+ literature. It may also be of interest to librarians curating contemporary poetry.”
