"The military of the 1990s was exclusionary and dangerous for queer people. To be exposed as LGBTQ+ could mean expulsion or even court-martial." 🏳️‍🌈

#Boots #Netflix
"Military dramedy Boots isn’t your typical glitzy Netflix production. Set in the 1990s, it tells the story of a skinny and secretly gay teenager Cameron Cope who is tired of being bullied at school so enlists himself in the Marine Corps with his best friend Ray." 🏳️‍🌈

The New Netflix Show That’s Surging In Popularity

Every year hundreds of new shows join Netflix so standing out from the crowd is far from easy. This makes it all the more noteworthy when a show with little-known actors surges in interest.

#GovernmentShutdown
Here's how your tax dollars are being used by this tyrannical and illegal administration. Hell no!!!

Screencap of the home page for the USDA showing a special notice that says: "❗Due to the Radical Left Democrat shutdown, this government website will not be updated during the funding lapse. President Trump has made it clear he wants to keep the government open and support those who feed, fuel, and clothe the American people."

What are we doing people? We must strongly refuse to live in a country where any common unidentified thug can beat and snatch up someone in public. I absolutely refuse!

One of Jonah's first songs from 2 years ago that gained him attention. His standard acoustic indie-folk guitar start that rises to a rousing folk rock number all heavily influenced by pop, alternative, and soul. Showcases his full range.

This is Jonah Kagen's biggest song from a year ago. God Needs the Devil is a heavily Alt-Rock influenced track. It actually hit number 1 on the Alternative charts. This is more gritty and intense than his other work.
