    LGBT rights in the USA today...

    I came across a nice article in the NY Times today, with some decent charts/maps:

    https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/...to-be-gay.html

    Yes the article was very good. Today did you see guidance came out about transgender military ban? Just before the racist Arpaio was pardoned.

    So so much for unifying the country. Liar.

    I did see the "guidance" - it's mentioned in my second post above.

    I didn't see the pardon today. Wow. That's...quite a mistake on his part:

    i missed the second article I was so distracted by the liar in chief with the rainbow flag.

    And all the while I am hearing that the lower courts are being filled with very conservative judges. The racist, anti-gay, anti-woman agenda will continue for a long time.

    despite the fact that every day lies come out of his mouth, I am amazed that people all across this nation think that he is doing great. Protests, letter writing and all are fine, but what can citizens who value freedom and equality do? I joined a local democratic club and while big on rage, solutions are a little thin.

    and by the way, my yard is a jungle of flowers. No matter how sad I am I can see little buzzy stuff pollinating and flying around. It grounds me.

    I wish there was a pic of your yard somewhere! I can totally relate. I spend a lot of time and effort on my yard too and at at the risk of sounding cocky - I have one of the better yards in my part of the neighborhood, and I've had neighbors tell me this before, too - it' not just my ego. And I very much understand about the grounding - I live smack dab in the middle of a metro area of 4.5 million people and I really need the grounding and the connection with nature that a yard can provide.....Rob

    I am so deeply angry and sad. I consider myself a very close ally, for all of my life, to the community. There is no way that all my support is going to make much of a difference in how much hate and discrimination there is.

    The ACLU is taking the new royal pronouncement to court. It's not over 'til it's over.
