Our rights may have suffered severe battle loss November 2016, and thank god the midterms put some check on that. Thank heaven for Ruth Ginsberg's continual health, to disallow the SC to curtail previous progress.
Disturbing statistics, the homophobic MAGA's certainly feel empowered to bully and murder us again with impunity thanks to pResident "knock the shit outta them" knucklehead. I'm glad to have considerable physical distance and legal restraint upon bullies from my past who would not think twice of murdering me. (The ones out of prison and alive, that is.)
Have the MAGA's made idiotic fools of themselves enough yet to get it across to reasonable people that corn-servative nutjobs don't make good policy decisions? I thought the TEA party idiots were enough, but Fox Noise and Hate Radio continues stoking the fears.
I'll be visiting Brazil soon, to hit all the gay hotspots and give all the love and support to the LGBT community in Sao Paulo I can.
Resist. Stay Strong. Love conquers hate in the end.
