For me, democratizing publishing means more than just my ability to publish my own story. It’s about being able to share, but also being able to receive. As I celebrate Pride Month as a young, queer person, I think back to early online communities on which I found other LGBTQ+ people and how much I resonated with their stories. I feel lucky to be able to share my own story, but there are many LGBTQ+ folks who can’t.

To this end, we wanted to provide resources, inspire, and highlight organizations to support as you celebrate Pride Month in your own way, whether that’s seeking out stories or writing your own.

Resources

The LGBTQ+ community is vast — I’m part of it, but I’m still learning new things daily. Whether you identify as LGBTQ+ or not, make sure you properly represent the community at large when you share your story with the help of these resources:  

• It Gets Better Project’s Glossary
• The Trevor Project’s Glossary
• ILGA Europe’s Glossary

We know how important it is to find an image that perfectly fits your writing and, since stock-image libraries have historically struggled to represent all experiences, we wanted to share some free image options to ease your search this month:

• The Gender Spectrum Collection from Vice
• Pexels’ Pride Images
• Pexels’ LGBT Images

Have any resources to recommend? Please share them in the comments below! Part of our company creed is to never stop learning, and I’d love to learn what resources you all have found useful.

Tip: Use the #celebratingpride tag to connect with other folks sharing their stories. Here’s more information about using tags.

Inspiration from WordPress.com Bloggers

If you want to write but are feeling stuck trying to find the words, take some inspiration this month from these writers with strong voices and varied perspectives:

• CN Lester, the author of Trans Like Me, shares their experience at A Gentleman and a Scholar.
• Sam Dylan Finch explores queen/trans identity, mental health, and self-care on his personal blog, Let’s Queer Things Up!
• Blogger and memoirist Lori Duron shares her parenting journey of raising a gender–creative child at Raising My Rainbow.
• Marlo Mack writes about her experience as a single mom of a transgender daughter at Gendermom.

Tip: Make sure to follow these sites so you don’t miss any future posts.

Organizations to Support from Around the World

In partnership with Out in Tech, volunteers, including some of my awesome colleagues, have worked together over the last few years to create websites for LGBTQ+ organizations around the world. As you look to find organizations to support, remember to think globally, especially considering there are still 73 nations with laws against being LGBTQ+. We hope this list gives you a great place to start:

• Roopbaan (Bangladesh)
• Samabhabona (India)
• Almas Cautivas (Mexico)
• TransWave Jamaica (Jamaica)
• TweetIndia (India)
• Hombres Trans Panamá (Panamá)
• Russian LGBT Network (Russia)
• Diversidad Dominicana (Dominican Republic & Carribean)
• SAIL: Stop Aids in Liberia (Liberia)
• African Queer Youth Initiative (Across Africa)
• Rainbow Egypt (Egypt)
• Rasan (Iraq)
• The Rustin Fund (USA)

Happy WordPress-ing. Happy Pride.

For those of you sharing your own stories of being LGBTQ+ in this world, thank you for your bravery and vulnerability.

For those of you who can’t share your story, please know that it gets better and that you aren’t alone this month.

For those of you seeking out other people’s stories, thank you for being supportive, being open, and seeking to expand your perspective.

E’ altamente infettivo, può uccidere fino al novanta per cento delle persone infettate, ricompare in Africa circa ogni vent’anni ed è l’incubo dei virologi perchè purtroppo al momento non esiste una cura, il suo nome?

EBOLA

Il virus ha colpitola la Nuova Guinea (Africa Occidentale) e numerosi altri casi sospetti, alcuni dei quali mortali ,sono stati segnalati in Sierra Leone e in Liberia (in Canada un uomo proveniente dalla Liberia è stato ricoverato con i sintomi di una febbre emorragica virale e messo in quarantena).
Senegal e Mauritania hanno deciso la chiusura delle frontiere.
“Stiamo affrontando un’epidemia senza precedenti” lancia l’allarme l’organizzazione medico-umanitaria Medici Senza Frontiere (MSF) che ha inviato subito un team di specialisti assieme agli esperti delle maggiori organizzazioni sanitarie mondiali.
Il virus prende tale nome dalla valle dell’Ebola (fiume) nel nord della Repubblica Democratica del Congo dove scoppiò il primo focolaio (in un ospedale di suore olandesi) nel 1976. Si manifesta con una febbre emorragica,vomito,diarrea,dolore diffuso e malessere. Si diffonde rapidamente attraverso il contatto diretto con persone e animali infetti e tramite sangue,urine e latte materno. Data la sua pericolosità il virus è classificato come agente di bioterrorismo di categoria A e viene considerato una potenziale arma biologica.
Sono in corso test di laboratorio per identificare con certezza i ceppi  dell’infezione e ricerche su un anticorpo monoclonale (mAb) e alcuni farmaci ad azione antivirale.
Si pensa che il virus provenga dai gorilla o dai pipistrelli che in quelle zone vengono tradizionalmente mangiati arrosto o in zuppa.
Secondo gli esperti l’Europa dovrebbe essere al sicuro dal rischio di contagio.

Era il 2014 quando il terrore avvolse il mondo, oggi per fortuns la situazione è un lontano ticordo.
