I am an older gay guy in a long-term wonderful relationship. My spouse and I are in our 36th year together. I love politics and news. I enjoy civil discussions and have no taboo subjects. My pronouns are he / him / his and my email is Scottiestoybox@gmail.com
We’re Wrong About the Rates of Trans People
I love Ethel and her way of presenting facts and reality. She points out that studies in high schools indicate that the rates of trans children are 3.+ and those questioning are 2.+. Plus she points out the reason more trans people are out is the same reason more gay kids came out in the 2000s, it was the left handed issue again. When being left handed became OK to admit more people admitted and openly lived as left handed. Despite everything, trans kids feel safer coming out in the US than ever before. Hugs.
Responding to bigoted claims of biblical morality
Political cartoons / memes / and news I want to share. 5-23-2026
Republicans slow walk money for Sept 11 heroes, then gleefully and instantly overpay for an unregulated slush fund that mean reparations for criminal insurrectionist.
Tell me you’re guilty without telling me you’re guilty.
They embrace white supremacy.
Trump incompetence and corruption are an extention of white supremacy. MAGA may try to deny it, but they are the worst at judging their own racism.
Bezos is a free-loader. He pays nothing and takes everything.
It is late for me to be up and Tupac is with me on my desk
Hi all. I slept most of the afternoon after getting my allergy shots. Then when I got up I had a couple important things I noticed I needed to deal with. So now that I finished doing that Tupac knowing how late it is and how I would normally be in bed with him cuddled next to me jumped up on my desk and laid down on his towel here looking at me. As if to say … Dude it is bed time or you will be ill in the morning more than you normally are. Dang even the cat is bossing me around. 🤪🤣😝😎🥰❤️😍💕. So I am going to finish off tomorrows cartoons / memes / and news posts and rush off to bed where Tupac and I will cuddle making him happy along with feeling important until Ron gets there to demand I cuddle him. Hugs
Best Wishes and Hugs,
