Good morning and welcome to the Hoodies News and views… Firstly if you believe in what Hoodies is doing then please hit our Go Fund Me link just below this paragraph, no matter what you give us it’ll go to building our new website, developing our podcast, our You Tube Channel and making sure that Hoodies stays the main source of independent authenticity and accountability! https://gofund.me/2dbd5bca But to today’s News…I come from an arts background so know quite a few gay, lesbian, trans etc people and I know the struggles many of them have had. The fights they have had, the demonstrations they have attended that demanded they be able to live their own lives, the way they wanted. When it became socially acceptable to be gay, trans etc…we all celebrated it, because it meant that we all stood against discrimination, but now the biggest Gay festival in the country has uninvited the NSW Police to Mardi Gras and set back discrimination decades. What are we doing? Are we so easily offended now that we discriminate against the very people we all stood together with with Pride? But it’s not only Mardi Gras that has lost its way it’s the whole world really. The world outside of mainstream media and government buildings has had enough of agendas that divide us, we’ve had enough of fighting wars thousands of miles away while people at home struggle, we’ve had enough of corporations dictating false morality and we’ve had enough of seeing people pitted against one another for the sake of what? Votes? Cushy government or council jobs? Two men tragically lost their lives because of one alleged psychopath and yet we cast down the very people who protect us from the perils of society. We allow councils to step outside their mandated responsibilities into conflicts many of us know barely anything about, we watch as politicians dance the night away to pop stars paid millions while people outside the ivory towers choose between food and heating/cooling? There is unquestionably a hole in the media landscape for a news and current affairs programme or company to step in to the void of authenticity and genuine accountability. Not more insta famous talentless muppets who feign outrage but a company that doesn’t hold back in its opinions, that doesn’t pander to billionaires and genuinely cares about the future for everyone not just selected minorities. The Covid crisis showed that governments were prepared to sacrifice a few for the alleged greater good, but with Covid gone we now live in a world where we seem hell bent on pandering to people and whims that genuinely damage society. I don’t know how many times we’ve said it, but seriously enough is enough and if ever there was a time to get on board with Hoodies, now is it because now more than ever, Why Hoodies? Because it matters!

Planned giving matters for LGBTIQ donors and causes, because there is a tremendous opportunity to radically accelerate social and legal change for LGBTIQ people and to ensure that progress is not lost. Through estate gifts, we can help create a world with safety, dignity, and equality for everyone, impacting future generations of queer people everywhere. But don't take it from me - here are a few key insights from members of Outright International's Outstanding Legacy Circle: Jeff Natter: "We're all part of a global movement. If LGBTIQ people are being oppressed somewhere in the world, I think it's my responsibility to do something. Making sure that some of whatever we accrue in this lifetime goes to Outright is making sure this work will outlive me." Elliot Vaughn MBE: "I was honored to join the Outstanding Legacy Circle because it's going to be generations into the future that will require the work we do - queering humanitarian response, working for legal wins for our community, building effective movements in countries around the world. Knowing that work can continue after I'm gone is an incredible privilege." Kathy Teo: "What we do is something that is necessary and urgent. The global LGBTIQ movement is severely funded, especially in Asia, although we have 60% of the world's population. I decided to join the Outstanding Legacy Circle because with more resources, the more impact we and our partners can deliver around the world." john heilman: "I know how challenging it is for people around the world and I want to be a part of the movement for global equality. I'm part of the Outstanding Legacy Circle because I know that this battle isn't going to end during my lifetime. It's going to take generations to make the change we need and I want to make sure my resources continue that fight." darrel cummings: "I think Outright is special because it develops its agenda from activists on the ground. I'm really happy to be a part of the Outstanding Legacy Circle because estate gifts allow organizations to plan for the future. I believe we are going to prevail and get to the day when we are not just viewed as equal human beings, but recognized as people that have something special to give."

𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐛𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐝 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡 When you celebrate pride, you're sending a message out into the world for anyone and everyone that sees it that this world has a place for us. There's a lot going on right now if you're LGBTQ+. We're used as corporate props to access demographics. We're painted as monsters to sway disconnected voters. We're having basic human rights stripped away. We're being put on lists. Elected officials are calling for us to be eradicated. Its easy to feel scared. But on days like today - the anniversary of Obergefell v. Hodges (2015) legalizing #marriageequality - we remember that the angry bigoted mobs and the people at their helm haven't won. Progress has been made. Kindness, determination, and love of humanity triumphed over thoughtless hate, misinformation, and violence. You don't have to uproot your life with grand sweeping efforts to support LGBTQ+ people. All it takes is one #pride post, one update to your profile, one 𝒍𝒐𝒖𝒅 message to your social sphere. Then suddenly the world around you is a little more gentle and the people who share your space will be a little less scared. When you are seen celebrating others it gives them the space to celebrate themselves. Make the world a kinder place, by being loud about pride. Happy pride.
Gay and Proud
