Pelletz and his wife have developed a ride share service for women only, with only background-checked women doing the driving. Like Uber, you’ll use an app to call for a ride, then you’ll get images of the car and license plate. As an added layer of security, you’ll receive a safe word. If the driver can’t tell you the safe word, you know not to get in the car.

If you tune in to the Democratic National Convention today, you’ll see history being made. No, not the nomination of the first female candidate for a major party. You’ll see the first appearance of an out transgender person at a major party convention.

The love of a pet is like no other and makes for perfect holiday self-care! The company of animals can often be superior to the company of humans.

Women are a big topic in politics. Whether you’re the first viable female presidential candidate, stumping for paid parental leave, campaigning on reducing access to abortion, or — if you're Donald Trump — talking about female reporters being on their period, the topic of women is inescapable on the campaign trail. You can't win an election without women. Well, women voters.

But can you win an election without any women on your senior staff?

Yesterday, former New York Mayor and billionaire Michael Bloomberg announced he will not mount a third party bid for the White House.

Breasts come in all shapes and sizes. Sports bras also come in all shapes and sizes. And now, Nike sports bra models (and their breasts) come in all shapes and sizes.

We are living in challenging times, my friends. There’s tension around the globe, politics in our country are beyond bizarre, and most of my friends are feeling really sad about a character who died on Game of Thrones the other night. But there is reason for hope! And that reason has teeny tiny hooves, big ears, and two nanny dogs.

Disney is a pretty LGBTQ-friendly company. They hire LGBTQ people, offer them good benefits, and refuse to make movies in states that don’t treat LGBTQ folks right. The only thing they haven’t done yet is make any major characters in their movies gay. There was that one scene in Frozen where Oaken (the guy with the trading post) gestured to his family and it appeared that his partner was also a guy, so that was cool. But gay princes or princesses? Not yet.

There is no word yet if Fisher is bringing her dog Gary to the event. (We sure hope so.)
