Remember when the "brilliant" gay mind of Andrew Sullivan told our community is was time, after marriage equality, to close up shop, declare victory, and move on?!! And now he's on Bill Maher supporting the idea of keeping the knowledge of the existence of LGBT out of schools, and "save those issues for later," as if there is something so nasty about being LGBT that young kids shouldn't learn that a minority of boys like boys, and girls can like girls, and a minority of people with penises don't have boy brains, and a minority of people with vaginas don't necessarily have girl brains, and that's all normal and OK and fine.

Well Andrew, why is it when you're wrong, you are so spectacularly wrong? We have to start calling the anti-LGBT laws (and more subtle racism and anti-Semitism on the right), by its name, which is fascism. And HRC or GLAAD, or somebody needs to get on the phone with the U.S. Holocaust Museum and have them release a statement of condemnation, now, because in Florida, they're talking about taking trans children away from supportive parents, and that is fascism, and that is why the US Holocaust Museum exists - to remind us that fascism doesn't end well, ever!

As the mother of two adult children who happen to be gay, I am very concerned about the nasty verbiage spewed by the GOP. Stonewall was in 1969. Why do LGBTQ continually need to fight for their rights as human beings? Drag is entertainment. Since when is this censored? The Christian right fanatics are not forced to attend a drag show; they have no sense of humor and wouldn't get it anyway. If they want to live dour, miserable, regulated lives, let them, but they need to be stopped from legislating their prejudices and their idiotic religious beliefs. We can't stop fighting these authoritarian morons.
