I don't need athletes to wear "Pride" hats. As a gay person, I am only there to watch the athletes play a sport I love and enjoy the game. It's not complicated.
This gay psychologist who came out in 1970 at Stanford says to hetero friends that these women ARE indeed queer and have nothing to do with us homosexual folks. No one really BUYS their non-BUYnary; it is just another shopping fad, after all.
Gay people need to start having a big problem with, and start speaking out against, straight leftist women who lie and say they are "queer" or "non-binary."
I grew up with damaging religious conservatism, and the homophobia came from ignorance, ignorance that could be fixed by people educating themselves and actually listening to the queer community
Microsoft has committed to expanding the production of renewable electricity in Finland to counterbalance its use, according to Vaasa's mayor. SO dumb. Intermittent energy does not work for data ctrs and wind mills kill birds
Interesting.
A Democrat candidate for Congress in Texas has 86 followers and chooses to spend his time celebrating Pride Month.
Meanwhile, millions of Texans are raising children, building businesses, attending church, coaching little league, caring for aging parents, working long hours, and holding families together despite an economy that seems determined to make it harder every year.
Where is their month?
Where is the celebration of the married couple raising four children?
Where is the recognition for the father working sixty hours a week so his family can stay afloat?
Where is the praise for the mother sacrificing her own comfort to raise the next generation?
A civilization survives because families exist. Everything else sits downstream from that reality.
The strongest communities, the safest neighborhoods, the best outcomes for children, and the greatest upward mobility all begin with stable families.
If politicians want to celebrate something, celebrate the people doing the difficult work of building and sustaining families. Without them, there is no future to govern.

A staggering 7 to 8 billion solar panels have been deployed globally—but up to 90% of them are currently on a direct trajectory toward disposal.
While modern solar panels are technically made of roughly 95% recyclable materials (glass, aluminum, copper, and silicon), recycling currently runs at a steep economic loss.
* The cost: Processing runs $500–$1,000 per tonne ($10 to $40 per panel).
* The yield: The value of recovered materials doesn't even cover the transport fees.
Compared with minimal landfill fees, economics dictate that burial is the default option. But the world is rapidly running out of room, and governments are beginning to panic.
We are already seeing a preview of this crisis in the wind sector, where an expected 43 million tonnes of turbine blade waste by 2050 has led several European nations—including Austria, Germany, Finland, and the Netherlands—to actively ban decommissioned blades from landfills.
Solar is hitting the same wall. Panels built over two decades ago are reaching the end of their 20-to-24-year lifespans, while many more become economically obsolete and are replaced long before that.
This has created a massive regulatory catch-22: To prevent heavy metals like lead and cadmium from potentially leaching into groundwater, jurisdictions like Victoria, Australia, have implemented strict bans on putting solar panels into landfills, classifying them as hazardous e-waste.
Yet, with recycling remaining economically non-viable, we are creating an impossible bottleneck. While industry bodies like the IEA maintain that leaching risks from broken panels are negligible and within safety limits, the sheer volume of impending waste tells a different story.
If it costs too much to recycle, and it is illegal to landfill, where do several billions of panels go?
The 'clean energy' solution is rapidly staring down the barrel of a multi-generational hazardous waste problem.

So I’m from Buffalo, and our mayor just told us we’re broke and he needs to raise taxes because the plows are too old and the street lights don’t work. But hey, we have money for rainbows and bullshit on buses.
They broke his bones, gouged his eyes out, cut out his tongue and castrated him. He died of a heart attack after being set on fire and dragged himself 50 meters across the floor.
Personality mental illness masquerading as queer ideology has been catastrophic for the original LGB movement. Sullivan has been clear-eyed about this since the beginning.
