"If you’re gay, you’re gay. If you’re straight, you’re straight. And you should be allowed to be how you are and who you are."

Dolly Parton is one of the very good ones, and the world needs her light now more than ever.

Hoping she will be okay!

We LOVE YOU Dolly! 💚🙏✨

I’m enjoying the far-too-accurate meme pages since being diagnosed with ADHD.

God i’ve just overheard this old dear say to her old dear pal ‘today I identify as a black woman, and why not? What’s good for others!!’

Took all my willpower not to chime in.

fuck off you complete and utter imbecile. he’s posing with a violent homophobe. he should know better. and all you have is snark.

This is literally a photograph. Take off your rose-tinted spectacles. Posing with a politician who wants to jail gays is not good however you slice it.

Not sure how he wouldn’t have known who she is? He and his family are prominent in Uganda and she’s one of the chief proponents of the “kill the gays” bill. www.aljazeera.com/amp/features...

Uganda’s ‘Kill the Gays’ bill spreads fear

Efforts to establish anti-homosexual laws stir nervousness among the LGBT community and beyond.

This is a terrible look.

Hopefully @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social can explain why this happened, given he has a lot of LGBTQ+ support.

It’s necessary to hold those we support to account, the same way we’d hold anyone to account.

Conflating the crimes of Israel with all jewish people… is plain as day antisemitism.

Current Mayor Eric Adams recently dropped out, so it’s expected that Cuomo will hoover up a good share of his votes (he was on about 8% before dropping).

Could be more around the 47%/32% mark.

Hoping Mamdani will break 50% when all is said and done, because then he’ll have an unarguable mandate.
