Erika Munson has never been to a pride parade. But this weekend, she will be in one, along with at least 100 other active Mormons who — decked out in their Sunday best — will march at the head of the Utah Pride Parade to show support for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.

Erin: There’s no tequila? Tequila should be, “You know what you should do? Take off your pants.”

Argentina: doing it right. After passing a groundbreaking gender identity law on Wednesday, Argentina, which became the first Latin American country to legalize same-sex marriage, now leads the entire world when it comes to trans rights.
The new law, which was passed by 55-0 and is expected to be signed by president Cristina Fernandez, grants trans people the right to legally change their gender identity without having to get approval from doctors or judges–and, importantly, without having to change their bodies at all first. Not having a valid ID that matches your gender identity is a huge barrier to access to education, employment, health care, you name it. As Kalym Sori, an Argentinian trans man said, “This is why the law of identity is so important. It opens the door to the rest of our rights.”

With that said, TESS AND LEXY CANNOT GET TOGETHER ON LIP SERVICE. I am opposed to Tess being with anyone, actually. Her character just rubs me the wrong way.
Sam and Lexy are MUCH more interesting and complex, anyway.
My god, what has become of me? I am just so into this show, and it’s teetering on disappointing me with every episode (in a few ways).
