Colorado Straight Allies Show Some Love! (With Video)

I gotta tell ya unicorns, it is a somber day at UB HQ with the news of another teen suicide. It is almost becoming weekly news. We here at Unicorn Booty try to create a safe space for people to express themselves and feel like a part of a community. News of what happened to 15 year old Jamie Hubley shakes us to the core and leaves us asking ourselves what else we can do to end these kinds of tragedies.

I took to YouTube this morning in search of some inspirgaytion and found this awesome video made for Ally Week featuring prominent Colorado state representatives and members of the community. I think they put together a great video and I hope this, as well as the Athlete Ally video we shared last week will become the norm.

Do you feel like the movement to end bullying and gain acceptance is receiving a kick from straight folks? I’d love to hear your thoughts and even a story. Feel free to comment or email me directly.
