This year, the Stonewall National Monument in New York City
is displaying only the traditional Rainbow Pride flag, excluding transgender
and progress flags during Pride Month. This decision by the National Park
Service [NPS] has led to criticism and protests, with some activists and
visitors planting their own flags in defiance.
The Stonewall National Monument is the first US National Monument dedicated to LGBTQ+ rights,
having been designated as such in 2016 by President Barack Obama. It has since
become tradition for the monument to be adorned with various Pride flags,
including the trans flag with the NPS funding installation of the flags until
this year when the NPS told photographer, advocate, and installation creator
Steven Love Menendez that the park will not allow Trans or Progress Pride flags
this year; Menendez says:
“I used to be listed as an LGBTQ activist, and now it says
‘Steven Menendez, LGB activist [because] they took out the Q and the T.”
Erasing our trans brothers and sisters. |
Bravo to the Dodgers and Christian Bale! Also the people displaying trans flags and progress pride flags at the Stonewall national monument!
ReplyDeleteChristian Bale oftens gets a bad rap but he certainly acts like a decent human!
DeleteAnd good on the Dodgers for turning ICE away and then helping the immigrant community.
Sadly my high school didn't offer wrestling.
ReplyDeleteMine did ... hubba hubba.
DeleteOhhh The Dodgers are showing people how it's done! Ugh ICE.
ReplyDeleteAnd AOC is on a roll. That girl is gonna go far in politics.
As for men in spandex grabbing each other while they roll on the floor? One of my fav sports.
Babes, Arthur is Russian. Of course the answer is yes.
XOXO
AOC isn't afraid of The Felon; he's afraid of her ... and Jasmine Crockett.

#1 - Had to do a double-take on this. Hope Carlos isn't accusing you of infidelity - and more.
ReplyDelete#6 - I'd have been pretty sure that the name of Mads Mikkelsen would be near-unique - though what is MORE likely is that the guy's using an alias. Or perhaps it's just me who's slow on the uptake?
Just cheating with the air/conditioner!
DeleteI thought that was a familiar name but apparently it is the man's real name and he isn't the actor!
I admit, that actually shocked me about the Stonewall Monuments decision. That still puzzles me. Like the sign reads, there is no LGBT without the T.
ReplyDeleteAnd men in onesies? There cakes are generally not the only thing they are playing with!!!! I see a man hard in one and I'm turned on from 60 degrees right to 110 degrees honey.
Trying to erase trans people and people of color and immigrants and women ... ain't that America.
DeleteI do like a beefy lad in a onesie!
🤪🤡💩 Kid Rock & Bobo dating is really inevitable if you think about it. In general, GQPers have been whining for years that they can't get a date (with decent human beings) and just cannot understand why!! 🤣 Wow! When did deep ugly hate become such a turnoff?! (Hint: forever!) 🤬 So, Rock&Bobo really have few choices, but they have one thing in common...they both get kicked out of entertainment venues! Bobo famously got removed from a theater for the boorish behavior of vapin' and gropin'! Rock famously removed himself from a performance when he got booed for being lifeless and boring!! 🥱😴 They make the perfect couple!! 🖤🤮
ReplyDelete🙀 On the other hand, Tuxedo brilliantly recognizes that money is supposed to be a useful tool to give people a decent life and NOT the reason for living!! I'll betcha he has directed some satisfied side-eye at Bezos and his unlovely boorish fiancée getting chased away from some of their wedding venues in Venice!! 😼😹
😻 Tuxedo Rocks!!🤘
I went on a Bezos rant over breakfast and Carlos just stared at me in shock because it was epic and it was vile!
DeleteTuxedo would have approved!
I have a great respect for anyone who commits to caring for foster children for the children's sake rather than for the money. My painter had 2 kids. Now he and his wife have 7 kids because they adopted 5 of their foster children; four siblings in one go - the kids wanted to stay together and begged their foster parents to adopt them. Their wish was granted.
ReplyDeleteI agree; good on Bale for stepping up.

ReplyDelete(Carlos) (Tuxedo always)
xoxo :-)
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
DeleteBravo to Christian Bale!
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure Carlos is also having an affair with the air conditioner. Just sayin'.
Kid and Lauren deserve each other.
Hey, I saw the AC first!!!
DeleteRock and Bobo, a match made in MAGAt heaven.
An interesting selection, as always. 😁
ReplyDeleteIt was a week, wasn't it?
DeleteI love Thursdays here with you, sweetpea! xoxo
ReplyDeleteI like when you stop by!

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez... the name sounds as though it should belong to a supermodel - not a political terrier whose anger makes her so clear-headed. More Democrats should follow her lead.
ReplyDeleteIt amazes me that it's Democrat women, like AOC and Jasmine Crockett and Elissa Slotkin who are the ones standing up and taking on the GOP face to face.
DeleteThe men, for the most part, are cowardly.
I totally get the love affair with the air conditioner! I saw AOC’s bluesky post. I bet that tRump is scared of her.
ReplyDeleteWe hit 110 yesterday so the AC and I had a moment.
DeleteThe Felon is afraid of any woman who doesn't kowtow to him.
AOC is the best. And so is Christian Bale. I am also in a relationship with an air conditioner this week. It is getting hot out here. Take care, Bob.
ReplyDeleteAOC and AC are the best!
DeleteAnd Bale's good, too!
Carlos is having an affair with the air conditioner technician.
ReplyDeleteWhatever works to cool me off ....
