		<description><![CDATA[Being part of the LGBTQ community can be a struggle. It has been for many years. People may think things have changed but nothing really has.

		<description><![CDATA[Learning from mistakes is one of the biggest lessons we’re taught growing up. It’s acceptable to err, so long as you use the experience to grow and make better decisions. Somehow, this simple, sensible view hasn’t translated to the global scale. Persecution based on arbitrary delineations- color, religion, ethnicity- has continued to occur year after [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There’s no denying that LGBT youth face severe discrimination at the hands of their peers. Just consider how for many youth, gay is synonymous with bad (“That’s gay.”) The hope, however, is that more mature people are capable of understanding the plight of LGBT youth, especially those in crisis situations. New York City’s proposed budget [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[To the extreme disappointment of many gay couples in both the state of Maine and to an extent nationally, a law in Maine that would have allowed gays to be married has been repealed. For a nation that wants to pride itself in its steps towards equality, this for us is a step back (in [...]]]></description>
