    If anyone has any doubt on how the new US Supreme Court will protect LGBT rights, your first clue came today:

    First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.

    Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist.

    Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.

    Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me. (Martin Niemöller )

     

    Hang in there RBG!

    That is a great quote. Thanks for posting it.

    Forgive me for asking (i'm in the UK), but why should anyone have an objection to anyone joining the Army? If you're willing to give your life for your country then it shouldn't matter your race, gender, religion. 

    As for the Supreme Court, is anyone really surprised? It's a very republican leaning line.

    Although that doesn't really look like the photo Lucky posted. And I don't recall any tats on the candidate's arms.

     

    If that is Mr Mayor then wowsers! Either way, good luck to him
