Why The Divorce Rate Is Actually Dropping

Posted On: June 26, 2023

This article speaks to the historic belief that 50% of all marriages end up in divorce.  Some of those statistics are changing, partially due to fewer people getting married in the first place, as well as people waiting to get married as older/more mature adults, with the results being their marriages tend not to end up in divorce.  An interesting statistic in this article was that the children of divorce who get married are twice as likely to get divorced rather than those raised in an intact family, and if both parties to that marriage are the children of divorce, then their marriages are three times more likely to end in divorce than those of persons coming from an intact marriage family.

Posted On: June 16, 2023
A lesbian couple watching the sunset in Patchogue on a beautiful May spring evening were attacked and accosted by two men. One of the men was arrested and arraigned June 15 for hate crimes and the physical assault. 

It's frightening and sad that some people feel embolden and free to commit such heinous hate crimes. The world needs Love Not Hate!

Federal Court Halts Enforcement of Florida Transgender Health Ban Against Challengers

Posted On: June 12, 2023

A welcome victory in Florida!  A federal judge is halting enforcement of the transgender health ban which prevents parents from seeking and providing necessary medical care to their children and made any actions by parents on behalf of the children criminal.

This legislation defies medically accepted, necessary and proven therapies for children, which when denied can actually do more harm to the child.

The Nation’s Largest LGBTQ Advocacy Group Joins Others in Warning People About Visiting Florida

Posted On: May 26, 2023

It’s incredibly scary to think we now have travel advisories to visit states within the United States such as Florida. This is not a health advisory, but a human rights advisory. 

Florida has become a dangerous place for almost every minority possible. Many groups, including LGBTQ advocates, have set for travel advisories to warn and protect people against the new laws, imposed by Governor DeSantis.

These laws affect everyone, but especially minorities.  They even cross the line of potentially taking a child away from their parents who are making healthcare decisions for them.   By caring for their transgender children and following scientifically and medically accepted treatments, Florida has determined that these parents are committing child abuse. 

None of these groups are advocating a boycott, but maybe it’s time we do boycott Florida.
