'Anti-LGBTQ GOP candidate continues to dig hole in feud with drag queen who was once her friend' & other Thur midday news briefs

Kari Lake

This drag queen had the best response to an anti-LGBTQ Republican threatening a lawsuit - I am enjoying the Kari Lake vs. drag queen feud. Kari continues to dig that hole. 


LGBTQ lawmakers win primaries in 3 states​ - Not bad at all. More of us should run for office. 

Exclusive: Vice President Harris Hosts Historic LGBTQ+ Pride Reception - Even though I won't probably EVER be invited to one of these things, it's good to see us at a point in which we are acknowledged as who we are on that level. 

For anti-abortion LGBTQ groups, Roe's reversal is a 'human rights victory' - And they don't believe that SCOTUS will go after LGBTQ rights next. Okay, I am saving this article for posterity. Simply for posterity.

"For anti-abortion LGBTQ groups, Roe's reversal is a 'human rights victory' - And they don't believe that SCOTUS will go after LGBTQ rights next. Okay, I am saving this article for posterity. Simply for posterity."

They may actually be correct, but probably not for the reasons that they're thinking. Opposition to LGBTQ rights is slowly but steadily decreasing. More than 70% now support marriage equality. When that number reaches 80%, there won't be a single state left with an anti marriage equality majority, and support for same sex marriage after Obergefell V Hodges is increasing faster than support for interracial marriage did, after Loving V Virginia. Plus overturning Roe is going to make the country more, not less pro choice, especially in the long run. That will favor Democrats, and Democrats tend to also be pro marriage equality, especially if they are pro choice. At the very least it may favor less hardline Republicans who don't watch to touch abortion or marriage equality with a ten foot poll. It may not be that these conservative Supreme Court judges wouldn't overturn Obergefell V Hodges or Lawrence V Texas. They may, just never get the opportunity now.
