Gay bars have always been promoted as safe spaces for the queer community. However, there is a distinct lack of spaces for fem-presenting queer individuals. These are just two of the bars that are specifically for women and fem-presenting people on each coast. Check them out!

The animal of the day are chameleons. These creatures blend into their surroundings much like many minority communities feel the need to do. They are primarily found in Africa, Madagascar, Southern Europe, and Asia. They use their colors for reasons other than camouflage.

The slang Sunday term of the week is Queer-baiting. An annoying trend in media where a show, movie, etc. foreshadows a queer character just for them to end up being cis/straight despite other instances where it's implied heavily or almost directly stated that they are some level of queer.

This week we have the axolotl! A critically endangered yet adorable species native to only Lake Xochimilco and its surrounding wetlands, near Mexico City. There used to be more lakes inhabited but pollution and other environmental changes have almost wiped them out.

The animal of the week is a lion. These cats can be seen in same-sex relationships as well. The lion has recently been used as a representation of the entire LGBTQ community though most people still prefer choosing an animal for their specific identity if they want too. They have PRIDE.

A stone butch is a butch who enjoys to give and not receive in a sexual relationship. A butch is a masculine presenting queer person. This term is most often used in the lesbian community but can be adapted for other subcultures under the LGBTQ umbrella.

Slang Sunday Strikes Again! The word? Egg! An egg is a trans person in denial OR someone who is currently questioning their gender. Not all nonbinary people consider themselves trans but this term is very well known in the community. Remember to always be respectful of these terms and their uses.🙏 😁

The animal of the week? PENGUINS! These little creatures are often seen in same-sex relationships. These little guys are being badly affected by climate change and are losing ground. Please remember global warming is being caused by major companies and not purely the individual.🙏
