Weekend Hashtag Project: #WHP?

Weekend Hashtag Project is a series featuring designated themes and hashtags chosen by Instagram’s Community Team. For a chance to be featured on the Instagram blog, follow @instagram and look for a post every week announcing the latest project.

Celebrate the uniqueness and style of unicorns for this Weekend Hashtag Project: #WHP?

  • Capture your real-life unicorns, the individuals that really stand out. With an action-packed #Boomerang or playful portrait of a friend (humans and animals both work), show us their true personality.
  • Look for light and colors that pop. An everyday place can transform into a magical location with the addition of a single light beam spilling into a dark room or an orange boat that jumps out against a blue sea.
  • Focus on the little things. Get close to capture special details of a new hair style or handcrafted origami. Include the written details in your caption, too.

PROJECT RULES: Please add the #WHP? hashtag only to photos and videos taken over this weekend and only submit your own visuals to the project. If you include music in your video submissions, please only use music to which you own the rights. Any tagged photo or video taken over the weekend is eligible to be featured next week.

romance <em>Love, Simon</em> is apparently a movie for everyone if the reactions from a set of adults who were shown the film are to be believed.</p> <p>Followers pushed the ‘Adults React’ YouTube page to post a <a title="" class="aalmanual" href="http://www.gayfriendschat.com/multimedia/videos/videos.htm">video</a> about the film, which sneak peeks tonight in selected theaters and premieres nationwide a week from tonight.</p> <p>The verdict: it’s a tearjerker.</p> <p>Said one affected viewer: “I came out in 1990 when I was 20 years old and there were no laws that protected gay people and I can’t believe that in only 27 years that a major movie production company has made a film so impactful…”</p> <p>Greg Berlanti (<em>Dawson’s Creek, Brothers & Sisters, Green Lantern, Everwood, Political Animals, Arrow, The Flash</em> and <em>Legends of Tomorrow</em>) directed the film.</p> <p>The film also features Katherine Langford, Jennifer Garner, Miles Heizer, and Tony Hale.</p> <h2>WATCH THIS NEXT: <em><a href="http://www.towleroad.com/2018/03/love-simon-clip/" rel="bookmark">Dad Makes His Gay Son a Shocking Grindr Offer in New Clip from ‘Love, Simon’ – WATCH</a></em></h2> <p>The film’s synopsis:</p> <p>Everyone deserves a great <span>love</span> story. But for seventeen-year old <span>Simon</span> Spier it’s a little more complicated: he’s yet to tell his family or friends he’s gay and he doesn’t actually know the identity of the anonymous classmate he’s fallen for online. Resolving both issues proves hilarious, terrifying and life-changing.</p> <p>Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger, who co-executive produce the new NBC show <em>This Is Us</em>, wrote the script.</p> <p><a href="http://ew.com/movies/2017/10/31/love-simon-first-look/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Said Berlanti to EW</a> about choosing to direct the film: “There’s this one section of the film where Simon imagines this one boy and imagines them kissing underneath the mistletoe at Christmas. In every other major studio film, it’s always the guy and the girl. And there was something so powerful about it being just a guy imagining himself with this other guy in a film again that was going to be marketed and sold as a mainstream romantic comedy.”</p> <p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.towleroad.com/2018/03/adults-react-love-simon/">Tears Are Shed When Adults React to the Gay-Themed Film ‘Love, Simon’ – WATCH</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.towleroad.com/">Towleroad</a>.</p> <div> <a href="http://feeds.towleroad.com/~ff/towleroad/feed?a=6g52RJXmQ1I:__lUyiDKvoQ:qj6IDK7rITs"><img decoding="async" src="https://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/towleroad/feed?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></a> <a href="http://feeds.towleroad.com/~ff/towleroad/feed?a=6g52RJXmQ1I:__lUyiDKvoQ:I9og5sOYxJI"><img decoding="async" src="https://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/towleroad/feed?d=I9og5sOYxJI" border="0"></a> <a href="http://feeds.towleroad.com/~ff/towleroad/feed?a=6g52RJXmQ1I:__lUyiDKvoQ:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img decoding="async" src="https://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/towleroad/feed?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></a> <a href="http://feeds.towleroad.com/~ff/towleroad/feed?a=6g52RJXmQ1I:__lUyiDKvoQ:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img decoding="async" src="https://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/towleroad/feed?i=6g52RJXmQ1I:__lUyiDKvoQ:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></a> <a href="http://feeds.towleroad.com/~ff/towleroad/feed?a=6g52RJXmQ1I:__lUyiDKvoQ:cGdyc7Q-1BI"><img decoding="async" src="https://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/towleroad/feed?d=cGdyc7Q-1BI" border="0"></a> <a href="http://feeds.towleroad.com/~ff/towleroad/feed?a=6g52RJXmQ1I:__lUyiDKvoQ:YwkR-u9nhCs"><img decoding="async" src="https://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/towleroad/feed?d=YwkR-u9nhCs" border="0"></a> </div> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/towleroad/feed/~4/6g52RJXmQ1I" height="1" width="1" alt=""><br /> </p> <blockquote class="wp-embedded-content" data-secret="SsRUz8tkDv"><p><a href="https://www.towleroad.com/2018/03/adults-react-love-simon/">Tears Are Shed When Adults React to the Gay-Themed Film ‘Love, Simon’ – WATCH</a></p></blockquote> <p><iframe class="wp-embedded-content" sandbox="allow-scripts" security="restricted" style="position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);" title="“Tears Are Shed When Adults React to the Gay-Themed Film ‘Love, Simon’ – WATCH” — Towleroad Gay News" src="https://www.towleroad.com/2018/03/adults-react-love-simon/embed/#?secret=5itrUaMPSs#?secret=SsRUz8tkDv" data-secret="SsRUz8tkDv" width="474" height="267" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no"></iframe></p> </div><!-- .entry-content --> </article><!-- #post-65636 --> <article id="post-65634" class="post-65634 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-news"> <header class="entry-header"> <div class="entry-meta"> <span class="cat-links"><a href="https://www.gayfriendschat.com/socialblog/category/news/" rel="category tag">NEWS</a></span> </div> <h1 class="entry-title"><a href="https://www.gayfriendschat.com/socialblog/hiv-outbreak-in-milwaukee-underscores-importance-of-funding-critical-prevention-programs/" rel="bookmark">HIV Outbreak in Milwaukee Underscores Importance of Funding Critical Prevention Programs</a></h1> <div class="entry-meta"> <span class="entry-date"><a href="https://www.gayfriendschat.com/socialblog/hiv-outbreak-in-milwaukee-underscores-importance-of-funding-critical-prevention-programs/" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date" datetime="2018-03-09T18:26:25-05:00">March 9, 2018</time></a></span> <span class="byline"><span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://www.gayfriendschat.com/socialblog/author/gayfriendschat-com/" rel="author">GayFriendschat.com</a></span></span> </div><!-- .entry-meta --> </header><!-- .entry-header --> <div class="entry-content"> <p><b>HIV Outbreak in Milwaukee Underscores Importance of Funding Critical Prevention Programs</b><br /> <img decoding="async" src="https://assets2.hrc.org/images/made/images/remote/https_assets2.hrc.org/files/images/blog/HIV_test_1600x900_640_360.jpg"></p> <p>Milwaukee health advocates are calling for the restoration of funding to combat the epidemic of HIV and STDs in the wake of a shocking uptick in their city. <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2018/03/08/hiv-syphilis-cluster-milwaukee/405648002/" target="_blank">More than 125 people, including teenagers, recently contracted HIV and/or syphilis</a>, a situation that the National Coalition of STD Directors characterized as  “a symptom of under-resourced STD programs.”</p> <p>In 2012, Governor Scott Walker signed an abstinence-only sex education bill, which experts like Advocates for Youth say are <a href="http://www.advocatesforyouth.org/publications/publications-a-z/409-the-truth-about-abstinence-only-programs" target="_blank">ineffective</a> at stopping sexual activity or reducing teen pregnancy. Reinstating evidence-based in-school sexual health education programs, which Walker cut, is also essential to addressing the epidemic. Wisconsin has also rejected expanding Medicaid, which provides critical health care to at-risk populations.</p> <p>News of the epidemic comes just two months after the <a href="https://www.hrc.org/blog/trump-pence-administration-releases-dangerous-and-irresponsible-anti-lgbtq" target="_blank">Trump-Pence administration proposed to slash more than $60 million </a>for HIV & AIDS prevention programming <a href="https://www.hrc.org/blog/trump-pence-administration-releases-dangerous-and-irresponsible-anti-lgbtq" target="_blank">from the federal budget</a>.</p> <p>“These numbers are alarming and clearly indicative of a disturbing gap — not only in the provision of services, but in public education among Milwaukee’s young people,” said HRC Wisconsin State Manager Wendy Strout. “The failure to fund critical prevention programs leads to outbreaks like this, ultimately costing us more in terms of dollars and lives than any public education campaign ever would. To achieve an AIDS-free generation, we must fight for it. Here, and across the nation, we must insist that our elected officials treat this epidemic like the national emergency it is, and ensure that cities and states have the tools to combat it.”</p> <p>The outbreak in Milwaukee exemplifies what sexual health advocates already know: failure to fund critical prevention programs can have devastating effects — just ask Mike Pence.</p> <p>During his term as governor of Indiana, Pence repeatedly <a href="https://www.buzzfeed.com/azeenghorayshi/pence-needle-sharing-failure?utm_term=.tnMlBwMojk#.ywqWv3y0pV" target="_blank">ignored</a> warning signs that there was a potential for an infectious disease outbreak of HIV in his state, and <a href="http://www.indianaeconomicdigest.net/main.asp?SectionID=31&SubSectionID=135&ArticleID=79026" target="_blank">fought</a> against programs designed to slow the surge of HIV cases in the state’s hardest-hit communities. It was only under enormous pressure that Pence was dragged “<a href="http://www.politico.com/story/2016/08/under-pences-leadership-response-to-heroin-epidemic-criticized-as-ineffective-226759" target="_blank">kicking and screaming</a>” into taking action.</p> <p>“As we have seen before in places like Indiana, in order for the public to stay safe and healthy, communities need comprehensive, fully-funded, evidence-based public health programming. HRC hopes that the Milwaukee community, working with leading HIV & AIDS prevention experts, can curb this outbreak, get those affected the treatment that they need, and put in place more community health resources to prevent a similar public health crisis in the future,” said Peter Cruz, HRC Foundation Associate Director of HIV & Health Equity.</p> <p>To learn more about the HIV epidemic and HIV prevention and treatment, visit <a href="http://www.hrc.org/whatdoido" target="_blank">What Do I Do?
