Politics-What's on your mind?

Thank goodness for Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and Ben Crump. They show up in more ways than one when there’s a problem in Black communities and they speak out. I’m very grateful for them.

Wish there were people who would consistently show up when LGBTQ+ people are attacked, have problems, or need representation. Maybe they’re out there and I just don’t know about them.

I think Rachel Maddow on MSNBC represents well and consistently, but as a journalist at MSNBC, she’s restrained on just how much she can speak out because she works at a news organization. I was hoping that Caitlyn Jenner would be a voice for us, but that ain’t happenin’.

It’s really disheartening for me not to have anyone speaking for us. Hopefully that will change soon.

Montana's Republican Party is clearly just a bunch of good old boys making their state look backward and unappealing. I hate to tell you boys but silencing Rep. Zooey Zephyr for her comment about "blood on your hands" was wrong. That statement was not hate speech but a fact.

Hey Montana....screw your methods of decorum. Zooey is RIGHT!

You know, America was once a place that accepted people of all cultural backgrounds but apparently the Cancer of Racism, Greed, and unaddressed Criminal Behaviors of those who think they can get away with their hateful ways, has reached a serious tipping point today.

Will Americans let the fucked up GOP (Re-Puke-lians) wreck our economy and ruin what is left of our once dignified ways of living????


Will Americans let Trump and his ass lickers get away with all their horseshit???


Will Americans DEMAND that corrupt politicians be removed from office???

Will Americans stand by and let that asshole governor from Florida ruin the way people live by taking their rights away and locking up people for being who we are????


Guess what?


I won't back down and live in a closet or prison because some fucked asshole can't be kind and considerate or care about others who are not like them.


Please know that I am not proud of our country.

But I am proud of those who stand up with us and ride proudly.

GO TEAM LGBTQIA++

HRC Press Release

HRC’s First-Ever Emergency Declaration Comes After More Than 75 Anti-LGBTQ+ Bills Signed Into Law This Year (More Than Double The Number From Last Year), Creating an Imminent Threat to the Health and Safety of LGBTQ+ People and Families Nationwide

LGBTQ+ Americans are living in a state of emergency. The multiplying threats facing millions in our community are not just perceived — they are real, tangible and dangerous. In many cases they are resulting in violence against LGBTQ+ people, forcing families to uproot their lives and flee their homes in search of safer states, and triggering a tidal wave of increased homophobia and transphobia that puts the safety of each and every one of us at risk. As we kick off LGBTQ+ Pride Month, HRC will be working tirelessly to educate and arm the LGBTQ+ community with information and resources to ensure their safety — whether they’re planning summer travel through regions that are becoming increasingly hostile to LGBTQ+ people, or whether they already live in a state where legislative assaults and political extremism are continuing to put a target on our backs.

“There is an imminent threat to the health and safety of millions of LGBTQ+ people and families, who are living every day in uncertainty and fear. Our number one priority will always be ensuring that LGBTQ+ people are safe and have the tools they need to defend and protect themselves against acts of hostility, discrimination and — in the most extreme cases — violence. It’s also incumbent on our allies across the country to stand with us and make it clear that they won’t sit idly by while extremists attack and malign LGBTQ+ people and our families. We’ll fight tooth and nail to ensure the safety and dignity of every LGBTQ+ person is respected and protected — without exception.”
— Kelley Robinson, HRC President

Feeling better that the king-pin of religious hate is not around anymore (Robertson).

So tired of all the people who follow his mindset blindly and keep perpetuating his brand of hate.
