Queering the budget
It is amazing that after all this time the GOoPers still want to legislate what happens in my bedroom.
Well, there is not a direct line in that direction but the war against gays is now defined as a war about "religious freedom".
G.O.P. Opposition to Gay Rights Provision Derails Spending Bill
Which is OK. It is your right to be a bigot but don't get your pointy finger in my face please.
We have been a convenient crowbar for the cranky right wingers for a long time. The people who fear that someone somewhere is happy, free and worse, having a good time with other sinners.
What awful politics. The politics of bigotry, fear, prejudice, yadahyadah.
I suppose I should be used to it now. And it hardly effects my daily life at all.
I live in Palm Springs California. Gay central. Well as far as the desert is concerned.
The SFOs and NewYahkahs would dispute our pre-eminence and I wouldn't want to argue. They all come here to take their sunbaths at clothing optional resorts which, of course, is a sin whether you are gay or straight.
The Christers are a pitiful lot. While they make me angry I also pity them. Somehow the idea of "god's love" has eluded them on the ground.
Cynical me also knows that this is about rounding up the yokel vote.
It will be interesting how Donald J. Trump (I just found out that he traveling with the initial now) will handle these asshats.
