Valentine's Day + Black History Month + Condoms = February!

February is, first and foremost, about Valentine’s Day. And don’t worry — we’ve got you covered with this hilarious and touching piece about lessons in love and lust that we can take from reality TV. On the Black History Month side of things, don’t miss one writer’s exploration of how Black women are disproportionately affected by HIV/AIDs (including a cameo from Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes) and this one about how a certain aspect of Black male sexuality can get hella toxic.

Then, follow us on Instagram and Facebook — and check out our top three moments on social and our favorite sex positive moments of February.

1. Our feed was full of all things condom in honor of #NationalCondomMonth! No matter what your needs are, that there is a right condom option out there (why not order free condoms and experiment for yourself!)

It's a TWO-FOR-ONE special today: #ValentinesDay x #NationalCondomDay 💖💦

To celebrate, we created a lil' informational video all about CONDOMS!

Head on over to the #dcbeings YouTube channel or IGTV to watch the full video: https://t.co/qt4hfZcHd4 pic.twitter.com/X17IxCHPdM

2. In case you needed a refresher, you are not defined by your genitals, and the genitals that you have are beautiful, period.

1. Dwayne Wade and Gabrielle Union Support Their Trans Daughter

We talked before about how beautiful it was when Dwayne Wade and Gabrielle Union publicly supported their child’s trans identity. Now, Zaya has officially come out as a trans girl and her parents are continuing to stand behind her, even introducing to her to the world in a video she filmed herself. Wade says that they’re letting Zaya lead the way and teach them how to be allies. *Sigh* We’re in love.

2. Harvey Weinstein Was Convicted in New York City

Accusations against producer Harvey Weinstein kicked the #MeToo movement into high gear a couple of years ago. This month, Weinstein was convicted of criminal sexual act in the first degree and rape in the third degree. It was a watershed moment for the movement and for sexual assault survivors everywhere.

3. Pixar Introduces First Openly LGBTQIA+ Character

Pixar announced this month that their new movie Onward will feature an openly lesbian character. A purple unicorn named Officer Spector, the character will be voiced by Lena Waithe. And while the character’s sexuality is historic, the movie doesn’t make a big deal about it. It’s just an aspect of her life, the same way a husband is just an aspect of a straight female character’s life. We’re here for it.

Valentine’s Day + Black History Month + Condoms = February!
