This is long. Gronda writes like that. I do wish she would make smaller posts but she doesn’t. So here it is. Why you ask am I posting a written article I already told you made my eyes glaze over a few times. Because the information she provides is so vitally important. Please go, read the article she wrote. Then if you have issues with it, post them here on my blog. Loves, hugs. Scottie

I just posted a video that mentioned George Washington, other founding fathers, and even the Johnstown settlement were gay. Here are the facts to back it up.

George Washington: The gay friendly father of our country

Fireworks … And Memes
Jill has some memes so grand I grabbed a few, we let each other do that. But the more I read the more I loved each one. I try, but Jill finds the best. She is grand. As for fireworks. We have cats that are traumatic sufferers and our inside / outside cat ran just as Ron went to get him because the first of the fireworks went off. Ron stayed up until nearly 1 AM when he was able to get the cat back inside. The poor thing lay on the bed shaking and struggling like every boom was at attack on him and his frail old body. Like Jill, we had 6 to 8 hours of bangs and booms. When Ron and I used to work 12-hour shifts in the hospital, the 4th of July was a horrible night to try to sleep when we had to be up at 4:30. No respect for working people. Our park even forbade people from doing it … but they still did their fireworks all night. Really the people wanting to take other’s rights, others equality from them wanted to show their idea of freedom by again by infringing on the rights of others. Hugs. Scottie
Why I Didn’t Condemn A Message…
Buttigieg Defends Pride Flags: They Symbolize Love, Flag Flown By The Alitos Is “Insurrectionist Symbology”
What people don’t understand about these fundamentalist Christians is they don’t accept the rights and feelings of anyone else. They are the maximum in selfishness. They cry rivers about their feelings not being respected, such as Jordon Peterson claiming it hurt him to use a person’s preferred pronoun, but he couldn’t give a shit about the pain of the misgendered person he just insulted. The Alito’s are the same, their feelings are very important and must be respected. But not yours, not anyone who disagrees with them, those people are to be disregarded entirely. Hugs. Scottie
“I’m often reminded that the most important thing in my life – which is my marriage, and my family and the two beautiful children that my husband Chasten and I are raising – that that marriage only exists by the grace of the single vote on the United States Supreme Court. That expanded our rights and freedoms back in 2015 and made it possible for somebody like me to get married.
“And, you know, Supreme Court justices have an unbelievable amount of power and – by the nature in the structure, the Supreme Court – there’s no supervision over that power. They are entrusted with it literally for as long as they live. And part of that trust is we expect them to enter into those enormously consequential decisions that that shape our everyday lives with a sense of fairness.
“I also hope that most Americans can understand the difference between a flag that symbolizes you know, love and acceptance and signals to people who have sometimes feared for their safety that they’re going to be okay – and insurrectionists symbology, I’ll just leave it at that.” – Transportation Sec. Pete Buttigieg, on Martha-Ann Alito’s condemnation of “shameful” Pride flags.
The cult is raging.

Happy (And Safe) Pride Month!
By my dogs that love gravy I love Barry’s post. I can not think of a better way to present the facts. The most needed facts about trans people, facts about pride parades, and about young people knowing who they are. Please read the post. Also please subscribe to Barry’s blog, he present things with a view point that is often refreshing compared to what we normally hear about things. In honor of Barry, Best wishes. Scottie
Florida Cities Raise Pride Flags Over City Halls After Failed GOP Attempt To Ban Them From Govt Buildings
The good people are fighting back now. DeathSantis and his fundamentalist minority have pushed decent people too far. But look for a response from the right wing shock troops, the Proud Boys, the militias, the other right wing gang thugs. Hugs. Scottie
Tampa’s WMNF reports:
Several Tampa Bay area cities have raised the LGBTQ Pride flags over city buildings this weekend. But that would have been illegal if a bill that died in this year’s Florida Legislature had instead become law.
On Saturday morning the city of Gulfport in south Pinellas County raised the Pride flag over its public library. It came after a short ceremony of speeches honoring the city’s commitment to equality and before a day-long block party celebration of Pride.
The nearby City of St. Petersburg raised its LGBTQ Pride flag over City Hall on Friday. Meanwhile, the City of Clearwater will host Pride events but will not fly the Pride flag at a city building.
Read the full article.
Also raising the Pride flag over their city halls this weekend were Tampa, Wilton Manors, Miami, and Orlando. If you know of any others, let us know in the comments.
The Republican bill to ban Pride flags at government buildings passed earlier this year in the Florida House, but died when the state Senate ran out of time to vote on the issue before the session ended for the year.
Of note, an amendment to the Senate version of the bill would have allowed the Confederate flag, something its sponsor later claimed was as “error.”
