Those people who fought and died for you and her (and all of use) actually fought and died to protect her freedom to do what she just did. She didn’t disrespect the flag by anymeans. What DOES disrespect the flag is to hide behind jingoistic claims of patriotism whilst criticizing others for expercising their first…

Are you sure the right’s behavior is what you want to use as your benchmark for deciding how to act?

There is at least one known mutation that causes an increased level of hemoglobin in the blood. People who possess this mutation are much more effective at sending oxygen to their muscles than people who don’t. This makes them excellent at sports demanding continued, unending or extreme exertion.

There are many LGB supporters and, indeed, many LGB people themselves who are transphobic. Being supportive of some parts of the queer community does not inherently mean one isn’t transphobic as, I’d argue, Midler’s tweet above shows.

I’m a New York City public school teacher (high school) in South Bronx. This is something I used struggle with when I first started. I don’t have kids (or a relationship) but I asked myself that question a lot - would I send my kids to school here? But the thing is -
