Same sex marriage is settled (...I'm assuming, never know w/ the current incarnation of the Supreme Court), so conservatives need to move on to the next marginalized community to pick on to stoke outrage & campaign on to get votes rather than come up w/ good policies.

Both Israel and New Zealand banned conversion therapy in last 24 hours. Hopefully, it's a sign that similar measures will happen in the near future in the US although redpilled bigoted morons in Congress, I'm not going to hold my breath.

Busting out some positive news instead :)


"James van Riemsdyk and Scott Laughton of the Philadelphia Flyers wanted to do more for the team’s Pride Night than just a one-off.

Starting this season, the two players are providing game tickets to the You Can Play Project for 12 games. The team held its annual Pride Night on Monday and a recipient of tickets to that game was Juls Ries, a 16-year-old hockey player who identifies as LGBTQ."



"The percentage of U.S. adults who self-identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or something other than heterosexual has increased to a new high of 7.1%, which is double the percentage from 2012, when Gallup first measured it.

More than half of LGBT Americans, 57%, indicate they are bisexual. That percentage translates to 4.0% of all U.S. adults. Meanwhile, 21% of LGBT Americans say they are gay, 14% lesbian, 10% transgender and 4% something else. Each of these accounts for less than 2% of U.S. adults."

One of the first people to be investigated is an employee of Texas' Department of Family and Protective Services.

"This makes Daniels the only publicly out professional men’s soccer player in England. Blackpool plays in the Championship, which is the second tier of English soccer, below the Premier League.

Justin Fashanu was the last publicly out gay soccer player in England to play at that level, three decades ago.

At only 17 and already playing in the Championship, Daniels has a very bright future ahead of him. He only signed his first professional contract — with Blackpool — earlier this year."

I think more athletes coming out publicly and playing in high-profile sports/leagues will continue to help combat the anti-gay marriage attitudes/acts (I hope anyway).

over there
I'm really curious to see how these Bible belt sports fans are going to react to star players from their teams coming out. When Kapernick started his thing for racial justice, he was playing in a rather liberal market and it was the rest of the mouth breathers in 31 other markets getting pissy (I mean, I'm sure they exist in the SF/SC market too). If I am understanding this incorrectly, please correct me!

Just pointing out we may not even make it 20 years when gay marriage was first allowed...
