It's so frustrating that hard earned rights have to be fought for again and again 😡 @thezenlady I love political cartoons. Many have been made throughout history and I'm glad the tradition is as strong and as targetted as it has always been. I'd vote for Harris too if I had American citizenship. It's scary here in the US given the take over of the GOP by white christian nationalists and all of their awful plans. Harris has got to win or a lot of us aren't going to be safe. I now understand how Hitler rose to power in Germany. @thezenlady I know. You know it's bad when Trump endorsed a guy who literally supports the hanging of LGBTQ+ individuals. Considering I'm one of them, I'd rather have Harris win if I could vote. One of my gay couple friends have moved to France to escape what is going on here. Others have left Oklahoma for more liberal states, but they won't be safe if trump is elected! 😱 @thezenlady Yeah, if it weren't such a hassle to move to another country and it didn't require you to be basically wealthy to get anywhere, I'd lightly consider it. I feel though that since no one important knows that I'm bisexual and everyone who would know supports me regardless, I have to admit it makes my life easier. I won't be attending any gay pride rallies though because that'd definitely expose me far more than anything else and my pride is more quiet than anything. I'm retired on a fixed income, so I definitely can't afford to move. I have participated in Gay Pride Parades here in Tulsa because as a retired white cis woman, I have little to lose (other than worrying about some rando with a gun) and I want to show that I will be there for my LBGTQ+ friends. I've been pleasantly surprised at the positive reception here in Tulsa to these Gay/Trans Pride rallies. I read that NYC has tourist rat tours! Sure, I'm visiting NYC and that's exactly what I want to see - not 🤣 I'm not sure how they are distributing the pellets. NYC was using rat poison, but other animals/birds were eating those poison pellets and dying which is why they are going the birth control route. Although I still suspect other animals/birds will eat it, so are there studies that show the effect of rat birth control meds on other fauna? I mentioned the poison since that was distributed both above ground and below. I suspect the birth control will also be distributed outdoors as well as underground/indoors. @thezenlady Can't wait for all that estrogen and progestin to make its way into the municipal water. |
@thezenlady the running "joke" in California when Prop 8 passed was that chickens got more rights than LGBT folks that day
