Well, LGBTQ equality was nice ... while it lasted

I hear you Elliot. For self preservation I have to believe what I believe about some of the people who voted for him not realizing the full extent of who they were voting for. I am thankful that no one in my own family voted for him but I do know a few (very few thankfully) people who I care about who did and it breaks my heart that they did. There are also people I know who voted for him that did not surprise me but it is mainly because they are ignorant/not that bright and if that sounds condescending towards them so be it. I speak the truth. Which is worse. Ignorance or meanness and hate because they both might cause us to end up in the same place. At least with ignorance I can hope they don't hate as much as those who really got what was going on when they voted for Trump. Or those who chose not to vote at all which is the same thing as voting for Trump in this election IMO.

It isn't always easy or convenient to put your safety and personal level of well being after the rights of others.

Yes that is so true but what kind of a world do we live in if people can't do this.


In the words of the late great MLK Jr.

"To accept passively an unjust system is to cooperate with that system; thereby the oppressed become as evil as the oppressor"

Hi,

This morning I saw the Pres say that Federal Protections on gay and Lesbian Federal workers would remain in tact. So, as much as many of you made me smile, I think you can take this off your worry list and Kenny will remain happy where he is. I also heard Trump during the campaign say he had no intentions of changing protections for the Gay and Lesbian community.

DJ ... Dahleeng ... you DO realize that I get to abscond your bling too.

I seem to recall that you bought a snazzy wine fridge.
When I move in I expect it to be fully stocked with the finest wines that money can buy.

Now, be a good girl ... pour me some wine, peel me some grapes, turn on the football game, and get lost.

Oh, I almost forgot to ask, do you have a brother?

I like the idea of the Octavia, wine fridges and the cool cats of PS at MY palace. Is that still happening or what??

Can I drive there from California?
Do you peel grapes?

If you have one of those fancy car-boats with lotsa fuel and time

And yes, but don't ask me to feed them to you while wearing a toga. This isn't Caligula times and my wife may not be happy about that

Dang, Kenny, once you pretend to be straight, you'll have more rights than me, a second class citizen!

Friendly reminder from the great parliamentarian Edwin Burke:
“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”

Book burnings might begin any day now.

The revocation of one group's rights is the beginning of the revocation of everybody's rights.

Then I have the right to demand you give me your hypnotic spinel.

AW, you don't need no wife.

The confirmed appointment of Betsy DeVos is going to have a profound impact on equality in schools she is not only anti LGBTQ, she is, I think, going to destroy your public education system, your special education system and impose a core set of her own heavily religious based values upon the framework of your education system, this will take equality back decades.
