(or):I know why you don’t want to believe that being gay is part of nature and not some evil plot by the left to make them gay with Jewish space lasers or whatever, because that would mean that god made people gay, and you would hate that…

There is no cure to the damage being done right now to our Democracy…

When you give away rights and rules and laws, you do not ever get them back again. But, since you didn’t ever learn history, I guess the rest of us are doomed to repeat it.

I hate to admit it, but tRump is doing a better job than I thought he would do…
