Giorgia Meloni's (R)
'thoughts' on
LGBQ

but let's just say
she's* NOT
pro-.

*like ALL the Far Right
she has NO Use
for 'them.'

Now would be a good time to leave Tampa.

In much needed good news, Cuban voters overwhelmingly approved same sex marriage and adoption.

This is an historic victory, decades in the making, in a part of the world that is generally hostile to LGBTQ rights.

@1 -- with
apologies
to the Ts!

@4: No worries. That initialism train is a tiresome relic of yesteryear anyway.

Maybe this will serve as a reminder to the alphabet crowd that their 'rights' aren't any more significant than the rights of any one else for that matter. In other words, you're nothing special due to your sexual preference so get over yourselves.

Let's hope Meloni's run ends the same way as Mussolini's too

@7: Yes in regard to the first sentence, but No in regard to the second. First of all, it's an orientation, not a preference. To test, try getting horny over a naked man and report back (assuming you're male - conversely otherwise).

In regard to the initialism, I've heard a trans activist point out (correctly I might add) that the gender (for the T) and orientation (for the GLB) shouldn't be lumped together.

But perhaps my real peeve is politicians who just lump all of us together as a glob and think they've checked a box.

"After a two-and-a-half year closure because of the panini": When eating on Amtrak, never order the panini. They're worse than the fish in "Airplane".

"Worldwide democratic collapse is kind of a bummer": And like climate change, it's coming along faster than I expected. I wasn't expecting a Mussolini revival before maybe 2030.

@11: However, when a large portion of the population hates portions with particular orientations (not preferences) it risks incivility and harm for all of society. That's the difference.

It's like a group of people who don't like chocolate (clearly a minority preference) should have special rights.

*It's NOT like ...

@6
Yes, I worry about the ID - arguably the last authentic downtown neighborhood in Seattle.
The crime hasn’t done them any good.

@6 guesty and @17 pat L: It's sad about the loss of Viet-Wah, and of all the crime in the International District. Is Uwagimaya still there?

@8 Brent Gumbo and @13 PrincessAngeline#2 for the WIN!!

@18 shoobop: Since their posts are often so closely together I'm guessing they're already roommates, most likely squabbling over who gets bottom bunk.

@24 & @25: You can just rock me to sleep now, kris!
I can't handle another Err of 2017-2021, and neither can life on planet Earth.

Italy’s PM is flipped every 6 mos. To a couple of years. I wouldn’t worry too much, she won’t last long

@28 Fascists tend to not respect things like elections.
