Because no one has the right to deny another their life even though they disagree with it, because everyone has the right to live the life they so desire if it doesn’t harm another and because discrimination has no place in America.
Boy with a Basket of Fruit (1593–94) by Caravaggio
Boy with a Basket of Fruit (1593–94) is a painting by Caravaggio. The model was his friend and lover, the Sicilian painter Mario Minniti, about 16 years old at the time. At one level the painting is designed to demonstrate the artist's ability to depict everything realistically, from the boy's skin to the folds of the robe to the weave of the basket. A closer look however reveals that, as in another painting by him from that time (Basket of Fruit), the peaches have spots and the leaves are diseased, perhaps a comment by the artist on the closeness of beauty and decay in life.

Living Memory LGBT History Timeline from Trans perspective
This discussion has been collapsed.
A possible resource. Transgender Aging Network has launched a project - Living Memory LGBT History Timeline to assist with aging LGBT folks "It is impossible to tell without asking someone precisely which public events shaped their lives, but knowing what was likely reported in newspapers and discussed at dinner parties during a person’s lifetime may help you understand how their worldview was shaped. To offer insight into the concerns, lifestyles, and belief sets of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people who are now 50 and older, the Transgender Aging Network has constructed the following timeline showing how old they would have been when there were critical events or changes in the lives of LGBT people." Starting with the 1920s the events list can be cross-referenced with current GLBT timelines and used as a possible stepping stone to aid Trans projects and awareness.

Maybe you can do something with this. I looked at it and tried to figure out how to incorporate it but it was too confusing for me. Of note is that the line is manufactured by American Apparel. ALLSTARecho

The biggest breakthrough came when gay folks volunteered in droves to help organize and register people for the CNN/YouTube debate held last July at the Citadel in Charleston. "I bet 75% of the people who were manning (the registration) process were members of the community," says Warren Redman-Gress, the current executive director of AFFA.
'We live in a society where there are virtually no repercussions,' said Ms. Min of Us Weekly. The repeat offenders who most often populate our gossip, she said, know full well they can 'get arrested one day, walk a red carpet the next, and still have as many photographers shouting their names and wanting their pictures.'
Still, some celebrity journalists believe that while the explosion of instantaneous news media outlets has made these personalities more accountable for their transgressions, the offenses themselves haven’t necessarily grown more offensive over time.

Deep in Vogue, a song released by Malcolm McLaren one year before the documentary film by Jennie Livingston Paris Is Burning. Madonna's "Vogue" came one year later, bringing this subculture to the mainstream audience, but it was far from the real thing.
50 state project, standardize intro with refs, state map and LGBT rights template. See also section and footer templates. Then do talkpages with project tag and proposed section outline. -- Banjeboi
"LGBT category" mainspace banner of sorts so that those who actually look at any of the LGBT cat pages can follow a link to page that gives a simplified rationale and direction for adding people to cats.

Below are some guidelines to help determine which if any categories are appropriate and how they are organized."

we assume a person can only be one lesbian or gay at a time so let's consider a search and destroy on "a lesbian", "a gay" etc. except where a direct quote is employed or otherwise compelling reason exists.
Wikipedia® is the number 10 website in the world, and the only website in the Alexa Top 20 run by a nonprofit. Despite its low overheads, with only six paid staff, the Foundation has had tremendous difficulty in keeping up with the ever-increasing demand for server hardware, not to mention the bandwidth bill for serving an average 150 megabytes per second, doubling every six months. Slow page loading and frequent downtime remain perennial problems.
Lateisha Green was killed in 2008. The Syracuse, NY woman was 22 at the time. And she was transgender. DeLee's shot was intentional and placed in an effort to make a statement.
Last month, a jury found DeLee guilty of manslaughter in the first degree as a hate crime and criminal possession of a weapon. DeLee's conviction was the first hate crime conviction regarding a transgender person in New York and only the second in the country. -- Banjeboi

I'm trying to build a good sentence or so to overview the community's views on paid admining for the WP:Paid editing page. Several folks have mentioned multiple cases of paid admining/editing discussed at Arbcomm but I'm only seeing the Nichalm (sp?) one. So, are you aware of any cases addressing paid editing in general. Arbcom past discussions are sometimes redacted or simply masked so searching is rendered compromised. Any help appreciated.
Hm, just realized that I've posted this handy template here, but I am now automatically reticent to post it for comment on relevant article talk pages as I am assuming that there would be an immediate attempt to delete it rather than discuss improvement. Sad state of affairs. Ash (talk)
Sorry, just saw this. Will look in a bit. -- Banjeboi
WikiProjects and Portals who want to have automatically-updated "Walls of Recognized Content" (see WikiProject Physics' WoRC) can go here and follow instructions. For details, contact JLaTondre.
In this case it may make sense to start with each current subsection usage entry and see how each can be presented as if we were summarizing like the drag queen section. By picking the less used terms we might see which can be eliminated or bundled. There's a reasonable chance we'll also find many other terms which can be noted on the talkpage or added temporarily. I suggest each entry include basic definition, first known usage and anything else that seems notable. -- Banjeboi
Hi Benjiboi. As a party mentioned in the forthcoming RFC/U of Delicious carbuncle, if you choose, you may want to sign as one of the "Users certifying the concern". (This would move the RFc/U forward in a more speedy manner. Of course, you may also choose not to participate. It is entirely in your court, but since you were prominently mentioned, it is 100% perfectly within guidelines and appropriate that I should bring it to your attention. Regards! 38.109.88.180 (talk) 19:30, 26 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Well, somebody (we know whom) chased Ash away. I still think the RFC should be submitted, so if you're on board, let me know if you'll be certifying it or not, and I'll post it. Thanks.38.109.88.180 (talk) 16:03, 27 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The RFCU will go forward but it also should not be dictated by banned users and wikibullies at Wikipedia Review or elsewhere. That they have targeted someone in this way shows how much free time they have on their hands and why all of them should likely never be allowed to edit here, hopefully the community won't need dozens of more incidents like this to get that message. That admins and oversighters have also taken part at Wikipedia Review also speaks poorly of their judgement but we've seen many of those cases derail themselves as well. This is an encyclopedia and we can do much better than enabling banned users and bullies. The current RFCU is poorly constructed IMHO and doesn't actually help anything. RFCUs are notoriously ineffective but at least we should try to do the process right by putting together a logical case and show how these latest incidents tie into a pattern with Delicious carbuncle. Their interactions with other users in this manner seems to predate me by many months so it will take some time to sort it out. -- Banjeboi 10:36, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
