The Rainbow Scare is plaguing America. Much like the Red Scare 70 years ago, we've got to defeat these efforts that use LGBTQ+ people, and particularly our queer youth, as battering rams to push harmful, regressive neoconservative agendas.

This tragic story smells of massive coverup.
There is a school, hospital, police department and community that have some serious explaining to do.
We must hold them accountable and secure justice for the death of 16-year-old Nex.

For the record (& for
@tedcruz

Also, assuming that someone is a racial justice activist because their skin is dark is actually pretty racist.

I have one and am in an incredibly privileged position so far, so no regrets. The collapsing world has made me rethink having another, though, and while I never thought I'd be a mom and can't imagine life without my child, I ache tremendously for the world I am leaving him in.

I call our three months apart (in year two of our 11-year relationship) THE BLACK HOLE. I casually refer to things in relation to THE BLACK HOLE, however mundane or earth-shattering. My wife is not amused (she dumped me). I take comfort in her discomfort. Healthy marriage much?
