In my latest article on MUSED, I ponder whether we should change “LGBT” to “GSD” (Gender and Sexual Diversities.  Pink Therapy, a London-based advocacy group recently featured in The Huffington Post, suggested that we use GSD as an alternative because it is more inclusive and speaks to the larger groups who may not fall into or easily identify with LGBT.  For more of my commentary, please check out “Should We Ditch ‘LGBT’ for ‘GSD’ (Gender And Sexual Diversities)?” on MUSED.

In my latest article for MUSED “Look For Black Leadership? The Savior Lies Within,” I propose the (urgent) need to look within ourselves to find the leadership we so desperately crave.  Some of us have penchant expectations that our leaders are the answers to fix the many ills which plague our community.  While leadership is an important part of the process, we cannot deny the power we have to create the change we wish to see.  For more, check out my article on the MUSED site.  Feel free to share and comment!

New developments came in the FAMU Robert Champion hazing death case.  Charges were upgraded to manslaughter for 12 of the defendants this week.  Robert Champion was a FAMU drum major who was viciously beaten to death by his fellow band members on a parked bus in Orlando, FL in November 2011.  There are claims that Champion, who was a vocal opponent of hazing and openly gay, may have been brutally beaten also because of his sexual orientation.  To find out more, read my article on MUSED, “Upgraded Charges in FAMU Robert Champion Hazing Death Case.”

Nielsen released some interesting findings from their latest consumer study about the shopping habits and buying power of the LGBT community.  According to Nielsen’s “State of the LGBT Consumer,” same-sex partnered households make 16 percent more shopping trips in a calendar year than the average U.S. household.  Same-sex partnered households also shop more frequently at warehouse club retailers, pet stores, electronic stores, online retailers, and health food retailers.  To learn more, check out my article “Nielsen Study Highlights Shopping Habits, Buying Power of LGBT Community” on MUSED.
