A little about me:
I’m a gay man from western Pennsylvania.
I’ve been a Democrat for my entire life.
I’ve fought tooth and nail defending what the left stood for.
No more.
This is so dumb. The senate better send it back. I don’t like a single character of “recommendations for future opportunities to promote the long-term integration of joint capabilities between the United States and Israel.” We shouldn’t sign any cooperation agreements into law.

Gay space ≠ queer space. Gay MEN have the right to be around and associate with gay MEN. we have the right to spaces for us because we’ve fought hard for them. I’m tired of the queer community forcing themselves into spaces that weren’t meant for them and taking it over.
It's the start of GAY PRIDE MONTH. As an older gay man I'm not proud.
My generation fought SO hard for assimilation, NOT distinction.
WE ACHIEVED IT.
We just wanted to have the same rights as anyone else. We wanted equality in the workplace, society, the right to marry, have children, families and be regular members of society after years of indescribable persecution, emotional and psychological damage.
WE GOT THAT.
No one cared anymore. We won.
Future generations destroyed everything we worked so hard to create for FOR THEM.
They alienated the public through their ridiculous antics and gender politics to the point that I would not be caught dead at a PRIDE event or associate myself with the rainbow flag, or anything to do with the
community they have hijacked.
I'm not proud. I'm ashamed.
You, spoiled, entitled pink and blue haired little pricks, with no concept or regard for history have annihilated all of our suffering and hard work.
You have nothing to be proud of and THERE ARE ONLY TWO SEXES.
DEAL WITH IT. @dnc@HRC@Pride@LGBAlliance_USA@lgbinternationl
LGB is about who you are attracted to based on biological sex. TQIA is about gender identity, which is just an internal feeling. These are two totally different things. You cannot lump them together.
Pride is joy. Pride is courage. Pride is a celebration. And Pride is the ongoing fight to ensure every person can live as their authentic self.
This month and every month, we celebrate the LGBTQ+ community and all those continuing the fight for equality.
Happy Pride!
On this Memorial Day we remember all those who gave everything for us. I wish those on the City Council of @pittsburgh would give our fallen heroes the respect they deserve, but they choose to push it to the wayside.
@Pittsburgh But you couldn’t honor the services happening with any type of traffic control to ensure a safe and reverent event. I’m disappointed with this administration.
I’ve seen this video from Rolling Loud last weekend floating around, and it feels like a good time to share a conversation I had last year.
I was talking with a notable festival promoter last fall who directly told me they had largely stopped booking rap and hip-hop acts for one major reason: insurance.
According to them, many insurance companies were dramatically increasing premiums whenever those artists were on the lineup because they viewed the associated crowd risk as “significantly higher” than other genres of music.
Those aren’t my words…that was directly from someone dealing with (and paying for) the logistics + insurance coverage of events.
So if you start seeing certain artists slowly disappear from mixed-genre festivals or specific markets, situations like the above are absolutely part of the equation whether people realize it or not.
Actually you can. Especially when you’re the spiritual leader of over 1 Billion people. His role as the leader of the Church is more important than his allegiance to his home country.
