Happy Pride Month, lovelies! This image (Queer rights are civil rights) is close to the phrase I've been saying: LGBTQ values are American values

Happy whatever day of pride month it is, lovelies!

Trump’s policy toward the Kremlin is “at a dead end,”

I've been saying this for years. We can't stop communicating after the election. In fact, after the election is the best time to talk about vision and values.

Do we realize that what Maureen was protesting in Rent is what is happening now?

For pride @unclosetedmedia.bsky.social has a deep dive into the state of gay bars (really LGBTQ bars) in the USA. There are gay bars in every state except Wyoming and North Dakota Montana, South Dakota, Kansas, New Mexico and Vermont have just one gay bar.

Happy Wednesday of the first week of pride month, lovelies! Fight for equality. Embrace diversity.

The Naming Project is a faith-based camp for LGBTQ youth. For 21 years, we've provided a faithful caring community for LGBTQ youth and their allies...anyone interested in exploring identity and spirituality. Check it out! www.thenamingproject.org

Pride has always been powered by storytellers — the creators and truth-tellers who dare to envision a more just world. Our stories only reinforce that LGBTQ people are in every American family and share American values of fairness and the freedom to be who you are. (1/3) glaad.org/pride-2025/

It is nice to see. It takes people who don't care more about their reputation than their impact on the world.

We have been cooking at home for a while. It saves a ton of money and gets us healthier food. But it does take time, which many people don't have.

Local law enforcement agencies in Texas, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and Virginia have been most cooperative with ICE in rounding up immigrants through deals known as 287 (g) agreements. There are 629 such agreements now in place across the country.

"You don't have the cards," President Trump dismissively told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during their Oval Office blow-up in February. Three months later, Zelensky destroyed Russian aircraft deep inside Russia.

Happy pride month, lovelies. You are invited to join our movement.

This statement from Jonathan Joss's husband is heart breaking. No, headline writers, he wasn't "killed in an argument with a neighbor." He was *deliberately murdered* for being gay right after his dog was decapitated. Bet the murderer calls himself a "Christian." THIS is why Pride is important.

God smote her. MAGA influencer collapses on Fox News after starting transphobic rant about Kamala Harris’s ‘incompetency’ www.advocate.com/news/fox-new...

U.S. trade policy is making China great again — at America's expense

Trump, in public, has been all over the place on China, much like he has on trade policy.

Saddened that Poland elected a Trump aligned leader. They were making such good pictures on LGBTQ stuff, and I suspect this is going to be a major setback

In July, I'm running The Naming Project, an LGBTQ youth Church camp. It's an amazing, faithful experience. If you know young people, please share this with them.

Chicago friends, want to come to a fundraiser for The Naming Project? You are invited!

Happy first Monday of pride month, lovelies! Keep telling the truth, even in the midst of lies and propaganda

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

"Pride comes before the fall." Yes, that's why it's in summer.

One in four U.S. men ages 15 to 34 said they felt lonely a lot of the previous day. That's a higher proportion than young American women (18%). Maybe men should examine their behavior as the cause of why they are lonely.

Happy pride month, lovelies! Drink lots of water and restore our country.

I'm totally ready for the NRA and its members to rise up against our tyrannical government. Go do what you said you would do. Right now.

Quakers get shit done

It's not me who says it, it's the BIBLE (quoting Mary, the mother of Jesus): Luke 1:52-53 "He has brought down the powerful from their thrones, and lifted up the lowly;he has filled the hungry with good things, and sent the rich away empty."

Happy Saturday, lovelies! America is home to all of us!

Anyone have pride plans to share with @glaad.bsky.social ???

New banned terms from the Trump administration: TACO SOFA COUCH WEAK SAD

Congratulations to Faizan Zaki for being the best speller out there. The winning word: "éclaircissement" — a clearing up of something obscure.

Musk claims DOGE saved $175 billion. The actual number is closer to $16 billion. And those savings are at risk of being washed away by Trump's "One, Big Beautiful Bill."

From @axios.com. No one should believe Republicans are good for business. "At any moment, a Truth Social post — and now a court ruling — can upend the global trade system...The tariff legal fight injects new uncertainty into what was already a historically unpredictable situation."
