From a Huffington Post article: "Harris Poll fielded online responses on behalf of GLAAD from more than 2,000 U.S. adults 18 years and older in November for the study, titled “Accelerating Acceptance 2017.” Results showed that millennial participants, or those between 18 and 34 years old, were much more likely to identify as LGBTQ than older generations surveyed."
This is very encouraging to me. Thank you Millennials!
Of interest is that over half of the US non-LGBTQ population polled consider themselves LGBTQ allies. 1 in 7 (14%) are "resistors." So it's people in the 14% that are driving the hate?
Non-LGBTQ respondents attitude towards LGBTQ community
The above chart is a roll-up from these questions asked of non-LGBT respondents:
Just playing around with image processing. I took a few selfies after my electrolysis appointment this past Saturday and converted them into a video file.
If the source pictures are not the same size it gets challenging to figure out how to resize things so the video file actually plays.
Electrolysis is going great, but there is still more to go.
I thought I had an outfit that would fit the theme, but I left my pin-up girl hat in the car. As it turned out, a fair number of people seemed to be more of the 50's style clothing.
Last Saturday was the monthly TGirl Nights dance party at Hamburger Mary's.
It looks like the club is making the first Saturday of the month trans-centric. They now have a drag show scheduled before the dance party starts. This month we arrived just after it wrapped up. Last month we got there with 30 or 40 minutes left in the drag show, and it was a lot of fun to see.
I took a brief video clip while we were waiting in line on the upper level to get our red carpet pictures taken. Those usually take a week or two before they get put up on Facebook.
The theme was Pin-up girls. I had brought a hat just for this, but I left it in the car when we arrived. In the end I don't think it would have been too fun to have worn it as it was a little small and would easily fall off my head. Oh well!
As we walked along the alley from the parking structure to the club, Miss took a picture of me. I had to go with a little "trashy" because it was an alley after all! ;-)
Outside the front of the club you can smoke and drink. You have to give your drink to an employee, so they can carry it the 3 feet across the city sidewalk that separates the club from the patio area. I guess that's what they worked out with the city to be able to do this.
I entered the area alone while Miss used the restroom. While I waited a young trans girl sat across the table from me. She didn't make eye contact so I didn't really feel she was open to me introducing myself to her. It's possible she didn't speak very good English, that's the only explanation I could think of. When Miss joined me the trans girl got up and moved somewhere else.
While Miss had a smoke, and I sipped my drink, I was a little mischievous - hehehehe!
I've used this post as an excuse to play with converting still images to movie files, and then using youtube to reference them here on blogger. It works!
