As we rewrite the rules of relationships, it's essential to acknowledge the unique pain points and implement effective strategies for success in relationships. Let's explore a comprehensive framework for thriving in queer relationships, embracing autonomy, and nurturing meaningful togetherness, incorporating aspects of lgbt couples counselling."

Today we celebrate International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia. This year's theme is " No One Left Behind: Equality, Freedom, and Justice for All".  In the past 5 years, 11 countries have legalized marriage equality. The past 7 have seen 13 remove laws criminalizing LGBTQIA+ sexuality. These changes have been essential in progressing the world to reduce discrimination and stigma.  Unfortunately, dozen more still criminalize consensual same-sex relationships with penalties as sever as death.  Together we can honor those marginalized communities by bringing awareness to stand against fear and hate. Let's be united in protecting our vulnerable neighbors by celebrating the progress. Learn more here:
