More Americans are identifying as LGBTQ+, according to more than 14,000 interviews conducted by Gallup throughout 2024.

The rise is largely driven by younger adults increasingly identifying as le***an, gay, bisexual or transgender, with higher numbers of people calling themselves bisexual.

Gen Z has the most adults who identify as LGBTQ+ with more than one in five people calling themselves something other than straight.

Thoughts?

Businesses that recently received warning letters from Trump’s Food and Drug Administration accused them of misbranding medical devices have spoken out.

In an interview with Advocate on 22 December, the director of GenderBender – one of the companies to receive a letter – called the claims from the FDA “absurd”.

“There are absolutely medical treatments and procedures that do treat gender dysphoria,” explained Xander Shephard, “but trying to call a chest binder a medical device, specifically because it is marketed towards trans people, in order to control it and make it inaccessible, is absurd and clearly discrimination.”

Alongside GenderBender, the companies targeted by the FDA include Early to Bed, FLAVNT Streetwear, For Them, Marli Washington Design, ShapeShifter Apparel, The Fluxion, TomboyX, TOMSCOUT, TransGuy Supply and UNTAG.

Shephard added: “Regular chest binders for pre-op use aren't a medical device in the same way that the scissors used to give someone a gender-affirming haircut aren't a medical device.

“Push-up bras, which can be a gender affirming garment and also temporarily shift breast tissue into one's desired shape, would never get called a medical device — maybe because the people in power want to see more minors’ b***s, not less."

A MOTHER’S STORY OF HER GAY CHILD
by LN Magazine

LN Magazine learned of a beautiful story where a mother of a gay son starts her own PFLAG group. She displays such love, support and compassion for not only her child but the whole LGBTQ+ community. We wanted to make sure we got a hold of this lovely woman and shared her story.

How many of us had or would love to have had, a mother who not only accepts us unconditionally but also wants to volunteer her time and energy to helping other member’s of our community? Hope Colvin IS one of these mother’s. LN had the pleasure of hearing Hope’s story:

“I am PFLAG. It's a statement that can be said by so many. I am a mom - and I am PFLAG. I am an educator - and I am PFLAG. I am an ally - and I am PFLAG. I am all of these things. Since our son came out to us at the age of 11, my goal was to encourage him to live authentically and find community that supports him in this journey. PFLAG opened their doors and hearts and it's my honor to serve as the current President of our Peachtree City, GA chapter.

A little history: PFLAG was founded over 50 years ago in New York's Greenwich Village, just steps from the historic Stonewall Inn. What began as a small group of parents, like myself, advocating for the rights and safety of their children, has grown into the nation’s largest organization dedicated to supporting, educating, and advocating for LGBTQ+ people and those who love them. Currently there are over 400 chapters across the US. In Georgia alone, we've grown to 16 separate vibrant and active chapters. PFLAG is not just for allies, but for anyone who wants to make a difference for individuals and families.

I, along with every PFLAG volunteer, am here to serve. That includes fighting for intersectional justice, fostering community outreach, building meaningful connections through support meetings and social gatherings, offering resources to individuals and businesses seeking to support their LGBTQ+ friends, colleagues, and family members, and advocating for just, equitable, and inclusive legislation and policies. PFLAG will give you the tools to be a stronger, more empowered ally. I am excited about the possibilities that together we can continue to ensure that LGBTQ+ people everywhere are safe, celebrated, empowered and loved.”

WOW! I’m sure all of you reading this article are feeling some sort of emotion. I know we here at LN sure are. What a wonderful woman to give such support and love to her son PLUS wanting to give to our community! The appreciation we have for women like Hope Colvin, is off the charts. In fact, haven’t we all seen at Pride festivals, that members of PFLAG usually get the loudest cheers and applause? Why? Because seeing parents, friends and allies of our community coming out and showing their support for us is unbelievably touching. It makes us feel more part of society and more acceptance for who we are.

The fact that so many in this world are fighting against us, wanting our rights taken away and these individuals are brave and loving enough to want to join OUR fight, is absolutely wonderful.

Thank you Hope Colvin, for making a difference in the lives of so many and especially your son’s… We here at LN, applaud you…

North America’s longest-running le***an publication

Founded in 1975 in Southern California, the LN began as the lone voice for le***an issues. Today, the LN is still the nation’s foremost voice for le***ans of all ages.

Le***an News is the vehicle for the experience of women’s art, music, literature, films, and history. We have premiered women’s films which would not have otherwise been seen. We have reviewed women’s literature and music which would not have found an audience and we have financially supported workshops and fundraisers that could not have been successful without us.

With informative current articles and the truth about political matters which impact us, such as same-sex marriage, adoptions, and discrimination in the workplace, no other magazine in the world is as targeted directly to the le***an community or as much a leader in supporting le***an issues as Le***an News. We are not only a magazine published for and about le***ans, but also by le***ans.
