RIP Edmund White--from his excellent 1979 call for solidarity between gays and "drags" (transvestites and transsexuals) "By placing drags in a re­spected position within the movement, gays will have elevated and defended what straight society most despises in all homosexuals."

If you want to block Cuomo, pease DO NOT leave spaces on your D mayoral primary ballot blank. Fill in ALL FIVE slots with folks who are NOT CUOMO. Mamdani, Lander, Adrienne Adams, Myrie, and Ramos is the @nywfp.bsky.social slate. #RankTheSlate, in whatever order you like! But #NoCuomo!
