The G.O.P. Tries to Build a Gay Ghetto

This past weekend, the Republican Party in Texas voted on an outrageous platform that not only denies the results of the 2020 presidential election, but also rejects gay marriage and seeks to “protect” minors until they turn 17 against “predatory sexual behaviors,” such as drag queens reading stories aloud to children. Drag queens are predators, trans women are a threat and gay marriage is a violation of the “natural order”: This is all part of the widening and re-energized attack by Republicans on L.G.B.T.Q. people and culture in the wake of the Supreme Court’s 2015 ruling in Obergefell v.

Richard Grenell Upset Gays, White Men 'Weren't Considered' for SCOTUS

worked in Donald Trump’s administration, is objecting to President Joe Biden’s choice of Ketanji Brown Jackson for the Supreme Court because, Grenell tweeted, “Hispanics, Asians, Whites, gays and men were not even considered.”Jackson, confirmed Thursday by the Senate, will be the first Black woman on the court. Biden fulfilled a campaign promise to name a Black woman. She will be only the fifth woman and third Black person to be a Supreme Court justice.There are plenty of things wrong with Grenell’s argument.

Mitch McConnell momentarily shows his true colors in viral clip he’d surely like to delete

U.S. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is trending on Twitter with the hashtag “#MitchPlease” after giving a comment on voting rights, in which he seemed to imply African Americans are not Americans.Following the failed attempt to move the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to the Senate floor on Wednesday, McConnell was asked to comment on the concerns among Black voters.“Well the concern is misplaced, because if you look at the statistics, African American voters are voting in just as high a percentage as Americans,” McConnell responded.One video of the exchange has already been viewed over 1.8 million times:I need you to understand that this is who Mitch McConnell is.Being Black doesn’t make you less of an American, no matter what this craven man thinks.pic.twitter.com/Esk1NgIhD9— Charles Booker (@Booker4KY) January 20, 2022Here’s how others reacted:Holy shit:Mitch McConnell: "African-American voters are voting in just as high a percentage as American voters."
