S.T/A.R stands for "Safe Talks w/ Acceptance and Respect." The goal of the project is to promote dialogue between individuals and groups, and to promote human rights among all groups, regardless of sexual orientation, race, religion, or political affiliation. The belief is that all human beings are deserving of respect, and that we can learn to agree to disagree, to be courteous to each other even when we don't have the same beliefs, and to stand up for each other when the other is incapable. To quote Firefly: When you can't walk anymore, you crawl, and when you can't do that, you find someone to carry you.

The logo is symbolic of our purpose, and those who wear it are those that are incapable of standing by in silence any longer, who are willing to stand up for what is right. Though we are just individuals, all coming from different backgrounds, when we stand together we form a white light of hope to those that are lost in the dark.

Though the focus of the project is on the GLBT community, we extend our love and support to everyone in need, because until everyone is safe from discrimination, our work is not done.

These are not gay rights. These are human rights.

The logo is now available on everything from tee shirts to iphone cases via Society6, as well as through the Deviant Art print shop. 50% of all proceeds will go to the It Gets Better Project.
