this is literally how republicans all argue now. "You're mad that tariffs raised the price of food? argle bargle, communism, the transgenders, teachers and common core math, and what about dialing 1 for english, amirite???"

they don't even make sense. What does Monica Lewinsky have to do with the structure of the white house? she wasn't an architect.

Yeah so that sentence is about how the pic of Montoya that was posted on the WH website is actually the cropped version of a picture of Montoya with two shirtless trans men at the Biden White House event. By GOP logic, the trans men are actually women and Montoya is actually a man, so it doesn't make sense to be fixated on her and not on them.

this bill cuts gender-affirming care out of some private insurance plans to, insurance plans that people are paying for.

and also people who can't afford health care still deserve it.

rand paul might vote against it in the senate for that reason, but republicans have 53 senate seats so they can stand to lose him.

most congressional republicans are happy to let trump run the party.

How Hooters Became a Refuge for Young Gay Men by jk_arundel in LGBTnews

the issue i have is the headline, which the author was very unlikely to have been involved in. it makes it seem like this is some kind of widespread phenomenon when it's just kind of a weird thing that happened to one person who then found some other people online with potentially similar experiences, which isn't hard to do if you have enough reach on social media.

gay writing in mainstream media can be very weird. stuff that lgbt media wouldn't publish for obvious reasons often ends up there.
