‘You can’t cancel Pride, no matter how hard you try’: GLAAD CEO on some GOP rebranding June

As I have posted before on this subject this is an attempt to push a fundamentalist Christianity on the entire rest of the public.  It is an attempt to enshrine Christian nationalism and the doctrines of one sect into the laws we all must live by.   The people doing these attacks want to make any and all LGBTQ+ content seem dangerous and harmful which would require warning labels.  It is about demonizing the way other people live because the hyper religous don’t like it.  The Christians are free to live as they wish and think as they want but they can not be allowed to oppress and require everyone to live as they do.  They are a minority and the polls show the majority of the public doesn’t share these haters belief that LGBTQ+ people are dangerous or bad.  The majority of people are live the way they want to and let others live the ways they want to.  Republicans keep using attacks on trans and gay marriage to distract from real issues, to enrage their base to excite them to vote, and to demonize a minority group so that the status quo can go back to the 1950s cis straight white male hierarchy.  Hugs 


 

Some GOP lawmakers are attempting to rebrand June, which has been nationally recognized as Pride Month, as “Nuclear Family Month” in some states. GLAAD CEO & President Sarah Kate Ellis joins Laura Barrón-López to share her thoughts on this and a new poll around support for LGBTQIA+ communities.

FED UP Graham Platner FINALLY SNAPS And COMPLETELY TORCHES Trump!!

Kyle kulinski breaks down the attacks on Platner on main stream media and the people pushing the attacks.  Such as the woman who was on CNN claiming it was a shame for the party that Platner’s transgressions were being over looked and that it was a gender problem.  Kyle points out that same woman was on the Edwards for president team and stayed on after it broke he was having an affair with another woman as his wife battled cancer.  Edwards committed 8 felonies to cover it up.   Womanizing did not seem to bother her then.  Maines House Minority Leader described Platner as having deep and disturbing personal issues.  That is the same person who threw a bucket of human feces (shit) at someone, sunk three boats, nearly killed his sternman with his fooling around on the water and claimed Jesus saved him when he capsized his boat.  Kulinski goes on to explain that the reason so many horrible people are attacking Platner is his stance against the oligarchy, his anti Israeli genocide, and his antiiwar stance, and he is a threat to the established order.   The worst thing is the DNC has removed Platner’s campaign from their list of candidates to run adverts supporting.  He is against their continuing the status quo so they would rather have a republican take the seat to maintain the support for Israel, the establishment, and more  money for the wealthy at the expense of the lower incomes.   Worth a watch.  Hugs

G7 day two: Trump enters late, declares he is the boss, then tries to offer photographers to remain in the room during the session.My 2 cents: this is the exact behavior style that then ultimately made him the center of concerns at the G7 last year.. on day two. Let’s see if the agenda stays as is
