Billionaire Buttinsky on Campus
The way it seems now. The attack on the Harvard President was simply to remove a black woman from her position in a high ranking school. By the same people who give a pass to their dear leader tRump for dining with two well known antisemite Jewish people haters. In the eyes of the racist right, that job belongs to a white Christian cis straight man. Hugs. Scottie

Tennessee Bill Would Ban Pride Flags In Public Schools
He is trying hard not to say the quiet part out loud. He really just wants a white Christian straight cis male run society. He is struggling with the changes in society that the majority of the people accept and wants to force his minority view on everyone by making it the law. He wants his small minority to rule the majority. He wants to roll back rights and equality. It is flat out bigotry, the same bigotry that led to slavery, Jim Crow laws, anti-miscegenation laws, and laws forcing a religion on other people’s children in hopes it will install in them the same hates against the LGBTQIA that they have. These laws are about stopping children learning tolerance and acceptance of people who are different, of people who are LGBTQIA. It is a way to let bullying go unchallenged and leaving the targeted LGBTQIA with no support or defenders. As it has been mentioned repeatedly, no color flag or book or movie ever turned anyone gay or trans. It is a shame that these people have managed to get into positions of power and think they have the rights to rule others lives, that they have the right to dictate how others must think or live. I wonder if the Christian flag will be one of the exemptions? Hugs. Scottie

Nashville’s ABC affiliate reports:
Republican State Rep. Gino Bulso (R-Brentwood) has filed a bill to ban all flags in schools that aren’t the official Tennessee or United States flag. Bulso said he drafted the bill after hearing concerns from constituents about pride flags being displayed in schools.
Bulso said the country used to have a “very strong consensus” on what the nation’s values are, and these are the values he believes most parents taught in schools.
“Certainly, you know, 50 years ago we had a consensus on what marriage is; we don’t have that anymore. One-hundred years ago, we had a consensus on sexual morality; I don’t think we have that anymore. So the values that I think most parents want their children exposed to are the ones that were in existence at the time that our country was founded,” he said.

Like enslaving people?
Like selling people?
Like denying Blacks and women the right to vote?
Ahh, yes. The good times.
Colors.
We are talking about colors.
Think about that. Not rape. Not guns. Not murder. Not abortions. Just colors.
So, this wouldn’t count either…
And what those colors stand for are equal rights. Apparently we no longer have a consensus for equal rights.
Remember, flags don’t make people gay!
Conservatives is so stoopid!
Betcha he doesn’t want to ban the Confederate Flag.
Or the Gadsden flag. Or the Nazi flag. Or the “Christian” flag.
I lived in that world he yearns for and it was a shit show for everyone but straight white men.
And he’s a straight (or at least able to pass for straight — you can’t always tell, you know) white man.
What does your argument have to do with flying a rainbow flag??? I know you are all about discrimination…but this is a different era from when you grew up grandpa. You were the bully in school who used to beat up gay students, all the time you were secretly closeted. We know you.
Few things in life are “simple.” Easy to understand.
But here’s one of the simple, easy to understand things:
“If, in 2024, it’s Republican, it’s evil.”
Sing it with me:
Democrats HELP
Republicans HARM
Ross, you coined it.
And boy oh boy… did ya hit the jackpot with that one.
The nation used to have a very strong consensus on limiting roles for “decent” women, so fuck that noise.
He’s aware it isn’t the 1700’s, right?
More like the 1600s. No Enlightenment and lots of “witch” killings.
the country used to have a “very strong consensus” on what the nation’s values are,
Values such as EQUALITY for ALL!!!
Certainly, you know, 50 years ago we had a consensus on what marriage is; we don’t have that anymore. One-hundred years ago, we had a consensus on sexual morality; I don’t think we have that anymore.
I’m sure he laments that 175 years ago we could keep n*****s as slaves.
50 plus years ago a marriage could only be of the same race
> 50 years ago we had a consensus on what marriage is
Back 50 years ago you had adultery, infidelity, and **SHOCK!** same-sex relationships! You know, “Uncle Henry and his roommate Jack.”
Saint Ronnie and his first wife got divorced 74 years ago.
“So the values that I think most parents want their children exposed to are the ones that were in existence at the time that our country was founded.”
Including slavery, women as their husbands’ property, and Native American genocide.
so, no Christian Flag?
” the official Tennessee or United States flag”
But I’d bet the “Christian” flag would still be allowed. Probably flown along with the U.S. and Tennessee flags.

Thomas Ultican: “A Nation at Risk” Was a Pack of Lies
When will people understand that politicians will lie and do what ever else is needed to get where they want society and government to go to. Especially republican elected officials. Of course it is lies, it always is for these people. I remember being in the military being gay, having gay boyfriends, having been accepted by my command to the point of arranging rooming for me and my boyfriend to then hear republican congressmen say people in the military wouldn’t tolerate gay people in the same barracks, showers, rooms, or even working with them. WTF. Where would you go as a lower income gay person but to a place with super other hunky guys? All of them horny and not getting relief? I had more sex in the years I was in the military than I did when I got out … until I got married. Some were gay, many were straight but OK with it. But when Republicans want something to be different or fail, they create the situation they need. Normally to create a profit or ideological advantage. Hugs. Scottie
Jim Jefferies on LGBTQ Community (High & Dry)
Rude, crude, hilarious. I am gay. I am a huge supporter of the LGBTQIA and so is Jim Jefferies. We can not only laugh at jokes about us that are funny and not hateful and trying to hurt others. Jefferies shows how to do funny jokes about gay and trans people without being a mean insensitive hateful asshole. Enjoy. Hugs. Scottie
