Not everyone had a chance to hit up Atlanta this weekend and attend National Conference on LGBT Equality: Creating Change, the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force’s 25th National Conference on LGBT Equality. That’s why we’ve collected five of the best sessions from the conference.

  1. Why Immigration Rights Are LGBT Rights
  2. Why Reproductive Rights are LGBT Rights
  3. How To Get People Moving On Trans Rights
  4. Humanitarian Aid: The Future of Our Movement
  5. Eight Gender-bending Children’s Books for People of all Ages

So this one time I went to a big gay conference in Atlanta, met dozens of amazing people, and got to see Frenchie Davis sing Lady Gaga live. I don’t really understand my life sometimes, but right now I don’t have any reason to complain.

Good: out & proud bisexual performer Frenchie Davis singing “Born The Way” by the out & proud bisexual artist Lady Gaga
Bad: watching the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force publicizing all of this while carefully never mentioning the dreaded “B” word. Even when praising Frenchie Davis for saying shecame out to inspire young people to be true to themselves! and Never, Never, Never mentioning what she came out as!
