 Each week, I’ll be posting a list of the most news-worthy and/or inspirational, informative, well-written, thought-provoking, and/or unique posts of the week. While every post and every contributor is valuable to our community, these are the blogs that I feel are must-reads.

Stats for this week: 40 posts by 24 writers!

August 8- August 14


Facebook posts on Prop 8- by ekimx425 

Why I chose this post:

First of all Person#1, I think its good that you are bringing up this discussion because discussion is the only way to work to end ignorance.
ekimx425 shares her reactions/opinions on a debate that came up over Facebook in response to Judge Walker’s ruling on Prop 8. 

RIP Roy Jones- by Jordan 

Why I chose this post:

When a 17-month-old baby boy is killed for acting like “a little girl”…what’s a society to do?

Prop 8 and the Future of Sex Ed in America- by AFY_Will 

Why I chose this post:

The HHS Department has asked that all states applying for funding for abstinence-only education programs please “consider the needs of gay, lesbian bisexual, transgender, and questioning youth."
 However, even a cursory glance at the minimum requirements for abstinence- only-until-marriage programs shows the entire undertaking to be so thoroughly at odds with "LGBT inclusion" to be laughable. Except it isn't a laughing matter at all. This is the health and lives of America's LGBT youth we're talking about.

Apply Today: The Great American Condom Campaign- Fall Semester 2011- by Amplify_Staff 

Why I chose this post:

Want to help the students at your college or university stay safe this semester? Apply to be a safe site as part of the Great AEditormerican Condom Campaign. It’s fun!

Love “The Way You Lie”? Maybe- by AFY_EmilyB  

Why I chose this post:

I love this post for the discussion that it has generated. Check out Emily’s opinion on the song, watch the video, and then read the comments. It’ll get you thinking!

Thank you to everyone who posted a blog this week! You are part of what makes this community great!
