Biden signs Respect for Marriage Act, reflecting his and the country's evolution https://www.npr.org/2022/12/13/1142331501/biden-to-sign-respect-for-marriage-act-reflecting-his-and-the-countrys-evolution?sc=18&f=1142331501
Charlotte ClymerThe Respect for Marriage Act has just passed the House, 258-169, including 39 Republicans.
It will protect millions of LGBTQ families who otherwise would not have that protection. Senator Tammy Baldwin deserves enormous credit for her leadership in making this happen.
It is a very good thing that this bill is being passed, but it is also a signal of future obstacles. Do not get complacent. This does not end any battles for LGBTQ rights, but it does better prepare us for the battles to come.
Just another Wednesday I guess 😟
6 people and the gunman are dead in a shooting at a Walmart in Virginia https://www.npr.org/2022/11/23/1138872525/walmart-virginia-shooting-deaths?sc=18&f=1138872525
The shooting in CO happened days after a conversation I had with a Republican co-worker. I told her that as a gay man I always feel afraid in new situations. I told her how when I meet new people I force myself to not "sound gay" because of the possibility of being harmed. She was shocked that I felt this way and she said not all conservatives are like that. I guess not all but this one was; he took 5 lives, hurt more than a dozen, and made millions feel more unsafe. #stopthehate #gqpwantsmedead
"Gay bars, lesbian bars, queer bars -- these don't simply exist for social entertainment, although that purpose is quite cherished. Their primary and most important component is serving as an oasis of personal dignity and safety... They are home and hearth for chosen family. They are nurturing desks for the drafts, rough and final alike, of queer artistic brilliance. They are a place to laugh and cry and breath freely."

Dan GillmorThe level of scumbaggery in the "crypto" crowd is a surprise only to people who haven't been paying attention.
A lot of them should be hiring criminal defense lawyers right now, but I have little faith in our government's ability -- much less desire -- to hold them accountable.
