This is remarkable. New Quinnipiac poll finds support for path to legalization for most undocumented immigrants has risen to 64%. Only 31% want most of them deported. That's a 14 point net swing for legalization since Trump took office. On immigration generally, he's at 41-57!

As the wonderful Trevor Hailey of Cruisin' the Castro explained it, the pink was specifically "hot pink, for hot sex". ...I still have the (grosgrain!) rainbow ribbon pin Trevor gave all her guidees so people knew who we belonged to if we got lost during the tour. My first Pride flag.

On this day in 1978, the rainbow flag first flew as a symbol of pride. It was raised at San Francisco Gay Freedom Day.

1. Stonewall National Monument took down trans flags and progress pride flags, opting only to fly the rainbow pride flag. It erases the trans people who led the Stonewall uprising. Thankfully, New Yorkers have been bringing their own and planting them. Subscribe to support our journalism.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

Breaking: The Trevor Project received a stop-work order last night on its contract with the national 988 suicide prevention hotline. The Trump administration is eliminating the option for LGBTQ callers to the hotline to press 3 and connect with someone who specializes in LGBTQ mental health.

Okay. Deep breaths. Elbows up. We will survive this. If you need help today, if you're a trans kid, if you're struggling with suicidal thoughts, reach for community. Take action. Don't let them force you into learned helplessness. YOU MUST LIVE.

The repression of trans people is not, by and large, a grassroots outpouring of hatred from the American people. It's something that's been carefully planted and tended over years by a handful of media people and their pet reporters.

The SCOTUS ruling in U.S. v. Skrmetti confirms what we know: this government is crooked and ignorant. Trans kids deserve care, safety, and bodily autonomy. We must remind them of their history, the sacredness of community, and that no government gave them their power—and no court can take it away.

Today's Supreme Court ruling comes as anti-trans hatred has become inescapable for many families, even in liberal states. These families say they are in survival mode, trying to find ways to protect their children from attacks on all sides.

MASSIVE good news for trans people in the United States. A federal judge has just granted class action status to transgender people looking to update their passports. This means that very shorty, the window will open to update your passports with the correct gender marker.

@smith.senate.gov: "I think [Mike Lee] was sort of stunned to be coming face to face with somebody who was really calling him out on his bullshit... The way that people like Mike Lee and others on the right take advantage of the worst kind of human tragedy and political violence... is unacceptable."

After Utah Sen. Mike Lee promoted right-wing conspiracy theories about the man who shot two Minnesota legislators and their spouses, killing one couple, a senior staffer for Sen. Tina Smith wrote a blistering email to Lee’s staff.

Mike Lee shouldn't just be expelled from Congress, he should be expelled from public life, just completely shunned by everyone he encounters like in that episode of The Twilight Zone. He is unfit to hold public office and his party should take action. The party won't, but it should.

People in the GOP made fun of Nancy Pelosi's husband being nearly beaten to death with a hammer. You cannot shame these people. You cannot demand they adhere to social norms. They gleefully, willfully spread misinformation about attacks they provoke. They can only be punished.

Some cis gay men say “trans men being gay undermine same-sex attraction” without realising how they sound just like the “letting gays marry will undermines the institution of marriage” crowd. If you feel your sexuality is threatened by how others define theirs, please get a decent therapist. Thanks.

It is really disturbing that Trump wants to use military force against Americans peacefully protesting but disagreeing with him, and most of the corporate media are only interested in horse race coverage, "will this help his approval rating?" There are bigger things at stake than his popularity
