LGBTIQQ Refugees At Kakuma Camp, Hopeful and Resilient. They Call On You For Support

-
Young, full of hope, innovative and barrier breakers. Gender benders! They inboxed and asked me to call on friends for support in way I could. We shared Whatsapp numbers and many shed tears are they were recounting their stories. But, they were hopeful that they were about to host the LGBTIQQ Pride at a Refugee camp. Please come to their aid.

LGBTIQQ in Kakuma Refugee Camp, wish to celebrate the first Pride Day this year since under different circumstances. They are asylum seekers who have refused to pout! They are in Kenya because in Uganda, their own families, community members, colleagues and familiar faces could no longer tolerate them because they are gay. Homosexuals! Uganda was on a very fast track to pass a Kill the Gays Bill which has catapulted it in a tumultuous political turmoil. At one time it was  approved by the president and then overturned by courts. As we went to press, Uganda is about to come up with another legislation.

This is their own appeal. No grammatical edits have been made in order to keep their original wording:

PRIDE EVENT/ PARADE THE FIRST OF IT'S KIND IN KAKUMA REFUGEE CAMP.
Has we come close to the first pride match of LGBTI refugees in Kakuma which will be held on 16|06|2018 in the LGBTI main grounds, we are to have miss Kakuma winning a smart phone plus crowning of the miss pride then a he goat to be won by the community so has for the two weeks remaining we request fund and support to this eccentric ceremony the first of it's kind in Kakuma has its all driven by the them of living in peace and harmony with the aim of supporting LGBTI refugees in Kakuma proudly organised by REFUGEE FLAG KAKUMA thank you all who have given a hand and those willing to donate, support LGBTI

Q And A Forum: Anal Douching - The What, How and Why

On a topic such as this it’s best to get right to it and dip your toes in…or a douche as it were. Specifically we are referring to the act of anal douching, its reasons, benefits and some good things to know and consider when cleaning the old pipes! It’s also always good to consider hygiene in any anal play whether it is in preparation or if you plan on making anal douching part of the sexual play itself. Since we are jumping right in it should be noted we will be touching on the dreaded subject of fecal matter. Don’t be skeert! It’s why anal douching is important and since its use is specific to one part of the anatomy both males and females have in common that the same rules apply for both sexes. In fact it should be noted that many people believe the same feminine hygienic products used to douche the vagina are good enough to clean the rectum but most of these products are not created to clean the rectum and contain ingredients that can leave the rectum in an unhealthy state (st...

RECLAIMING FUTURES Thanks to those working to help teens advertisement |  your ad here On Friday, our community's Reclaiming Futures initiative hosted a one-day conference at New Life Center in Everett, "Systems 101." In the wake of years of budget and staffing cuts and doing more with less when it comes to serving our teens, over 100 members of our community, from teachers to Judges, treatment professionals to volunteer mentors, made the time in their already busy schedules to come together to: Learn (from each other), collaborate, build cohesiveness amongst our educational, health, juvenile justice, DCFS, treatment, and youth placement programs, be inspired, and receive a call to action. What is that call? That every adult, every Snohomish County citizen can play a part in reclaiming our youth from the cycle of substance abuse, mental health issues and crime by getting involved with Reclaiming Futures. They were asked to imagine an integrated syste...
