American Girl to Release Their First Boy Doll

American Girl is living up to demands for more diversity within their line of dolls. Julie Parks, director of public relations at American Girl, said parents and kids have been asking for dolls with “more experiences, more diversity, more interests.” Parents can celebrate, we are now seeing gender inclusion as well as race. 



 American Doll plans to release a new line in 2017. Including Logan Everett, a boy who plays drums alongside his friend Tenney Grant, a singer-songwriter in Nashville, Tennessee. 

  

 Who said boys can't play with dolls, much less be one?

Just Another Reason to Hate Texas

Texas decided they wanted to tell people where they can pee, because that is working out so well for North Carolina.  The transphobic "Texas Privacy Act", summoned by Gov. Dan Patrick, otherwise known as Senate Bill 6 was filed early January by Sen. Lois Kolkhorst R-Brenham.  If passed, Senate Bill 6 will overturn local nondiscrimination ordinances in cities like Austin, Dallas, and San Antonio.

Though Republicans think transgender people are plotting to use their gendered restroom of choice to sacrifice a strai...

Iranian filmmaker Asghar Farhadi boycotted the Oscars to protest Trump's Muslim Ban

The Salesman won Best Foreign Language Film tonight, but filmmaker  Asghar Farhadi decided not to attend tonight's ceremony. Instead, he  sent Iranian-American businesswoman Anousheh Ansari, the first Iranian to go to space, to accept the award and read a statement on his behalf.  Here is the complete statement from Farhadi: It’s a great honor to be receiving this valuable award for the second time. I would like to thank the members of the academy, my crew in Iran, my producer Alexandre Mallet-Guy, Cohen Media, Amazon and my fellow nominees in the foreign-film category.  I’m sorry I’m not with you tonight. My absence is out of respect for the people of my country and those of other six nations who have been disrespected by the inhumane law that bans entry of immigrants to the U.S.  Dividing the world into the "us" and "our enemies" categories creates fears.
