All of the openly gay Oscar winners . .. so far

The above video is a light change of pace at least tonight on this blog because 1. some folks seem to think I'm a big bowl of negativity  and 2. I understand their attitude to a degree. There is so much out there with Trump and the anti-LGBTQ industry that it gets tiring to spend so much time focusing on it.  And I did say that from time to time, I would post things to put folks in the mode of relaxation.

Supposedly, the upcoming awards has been called the "queerest ever." That being the case, here is a comprised list of openly gay Oscar winners so far. I have three problems with it, though.

1. It failed to mention Tarell Alvin McCraney who won the 2016 Best Adapted Screenplay for 'Moonlight.'

2. The section about actors who came out after winning the Oscars was on point. It's a shame it couldn't mention the gay Oscar winners who died while never publicly coming out. And there are a LOT of those. Speaking of which, if all of the LGBTQs Oscar nominees were listed, this would have been a very long video.

3. There are no bisexual or transgender men or women on the list. And if McCraney was added, he would have been the only LGBTQ of color on the list.

But we will work on item 3.

'Karen Pence is example of Christian right embrace of victimhood to shield their bigotry' & other Wed midday news briefs

Karen Pence

Karen Pence, LGBTQ discrimination and the Christian right's embrace of victimhood - "Willfully ignorant about the harmful cultural messaging of her actions, (Karen) Pence is the perfect symbol of “good,” Christian, white America." Can I get an AMEN up in here!!! 

 Justice Alito pens a bizarre love letter to Christian right - Yesterday, Think Progress alerted everyone to a problem which I think will become larger. Is Judge Alito already biased to rule for the concept of religious liberty in some cases regardless of what the case may be? This has been noted already in the past:

  Justice Alito says country increasingly 'hostile' to 'traditional moral beliefs'  

  The Most Partisan Supreme Court Justice Of All  

  None to the Right of Samuel Alito 

Transgender Soldiers Are Terrified, Disappointed, And Anxious After The Supreme Court’s Ruling - THIS is not the way you treat those who fight for your freedoms.

Sex Education’s Ncuti Gatwa: ‘Black, gay experience isn’t often told’ - As a gay black male, I can tell you that THIS is is a fact.
