Sharing my float @Scott Fullerton , I hope I made it in time 😅🫠😁 for submission. I am also sharing a screenshot of the businesses that have submitted to be grandfathered into lgbtq+ business directory in the Trans Collective Archive. If you want to submit your business go HERE we would love to have you.

Hi team, I've put together a public resource I'd love your eyes on before it goes wide. "Beyond the Binary" is a three-page public safety handout designed for our communities — LGBTQ+ individuals, allies, advocates, and anyone who needs clear, factual guidance right now. It addresses the federal government's increasingly aggressive use of counterterrorism language against LGBTQ+ and especially transgender people, and translates that into practical, actionable information people can actually use. It covers: • What the government documents actually say — and what the facts show • How the language of "extremism" and "terrorism" is being deployed, and why it matters • Concrete steps to protect yourself digitally, legally, and civically • Know Your Rights guidance if you are ever questioned • Key organizations and resources I'm seeking your feedback before I share it broadly — across community platforms, organizational networks, my Substack, and LinkedIn. The goal is for this to be genuinely useful and shareable: something people forward, post, and print. The PDF is attached. Please take a look and send me your thoughts — edits, additions, anything that doesn't land right, or communities or resources you think are missing. Thank you for everything you do. Danielle

As most of you already know, the #GayBarchives project is all about documenting our gay bar stories. Every once in a while one of our group members, fans or supporters sends us a pic demonstrating their love for our work. The next time you're looking for a way to draw attention to what YOU do, think outside the bulb! We LOVE the attention. Tell your friends and acquaintances about the GayBarchives group. The more members, the more memories. Award-winning Bradleys OnSeventh gogo dancer Scott loves to show off his . . . GayBarchives decals. Who will be next? Hunter Vance

Art Smith launched GayBarchives as a “living museum” to preserve the memories of the bars the LGBTQ community loved and lost, and to celebrate those that continue to serve the community. His leadership has propelled him into the national spotlight. It has brought media coverage from such outlets as NPR, Bay News 9, The Advocate, South Florida Gay News, Georgia Voice, Gay Desert Guide, and Queer News Tonight, as well as various historical journals which have lauded the project for its role in reclaiming queer heritage. https://outinjersey.net/gaybarchives-is-the-global-hub-for-lgbtq-nightlife-preservation/ #ilovegaybars #GayBarchives
