Since we’re talking about Chick-Fil-A, the appropriate thing to say is that evangelicals are having a cow.

I know the feeling. I live right next to San Francisco so I like to pretend that the CFA near me aligns more with the “gay people aren’t monsters” viewpoint. But honestly I just like the chicken too much that it trumps my ethics haha

I would love to know which location in Nashville this was. I used to live there and once the story came out I avoided them like the plague. It was disappointing to me that none of my acquaintances seemed to care about the ethical issues of eating there. People in the south love their Chick fil-A.

Plus, what’s the whole creepy dance with your father all night thing? I mean, why exactly are we creating a pseudo-romantic evening for fathers and daughters? Weird. I was on the PTA at my daughter’s school. We did family events. Full stop. And no dances. We did educational family events for all the children

Yeah-the fact that they haven’t changed it to Family dance is the worst. Some boys DO like to dance, some girls don’t. Many kids don’t have one or both parents. Have a dance, invite each child regardless of gender. Tell them to bring an important adult in their life with them.

Right? How fucking stupid are these people. I mean it’s either stupidity or they obviously gave zero thought to the girls’ activity at all. Oh yeah, this all-girl dance will be so much fun, but better yet - let’s have all their dads there to just watch over everything. They’ll love that. A night they’ll never forget!

My god, thank you. My girls hate father daughter dances, they’re boring. They love their dad but they’d much rather hang out with him doing anything else.

Yeah, the PTA (or PTO, as some schools call them) are directly associated with the school. You’re right on.

Michael’s had a fuckload of autumnal decorations when I was there two weeks ago. They also had a sizeable Hanukkah section. I texted this to my running buddy and said, “We have officially reached peak ‘keep calm.’” His response was, “Yeah but latkes are delicious.”

You are singing the song of my people. I was in Target today looking for Thanksgiving (or, fuck, at least FALL-THEMED) decorations and shit for the upcoming holiday. I was specifically looking for fancy hand-towels for my guest bath, in case The Game wants to swing by and take some selfies.

But that argument cuts more in favor of just not having public changing rooms at all. Similarly, lots of boys experience serious sexual violence and would be terrified to expose themselves to other boys, if the perpetrator was male. And girls can be abused by women too.

Because heroin is really cheap. People who have been hooked on oxycontin (thanks doctors!) and can’t afford them anymore turn to heroin.

My sister-in-law, a heroin and barbituate user, gave birth to my nephew while using. He was born full term, weighing very little (can’t remember) and spent the first weeks of his life struggling with seizures and withdrawal - he had to be given opiates to be comfortable. He then spent about four months in a

So, let me get this straight. People are outraged by abortions, outraged and cough, heartbroken over drug addicted newborns, but, they don't want to adopt or pay for the upkeep of said newborns, but, they are upset because incarcerated women with no means of income can be given some free birth control???? Okay, now I

You’re aware that a lot of kids at that age have crippling shyness, right? Guess they better just get over that? It’s not just about bullying. It’s hard enough with same sex. You add opposite sex to the mix, you better give them compartment options.

Who is to say that a “poor trans boy” isn’t going to kick some cis guys ass when they jump him? Best watch out. Some of us are have some serious muscle mass to throw around.

When anyone is brutalized, anywhere and anytime, it is on the attackers and the people preaching hate. Not the people advocating acceptance.

Unisex bathrooms for teens is an impractical idea that is well-meaning but willfully dismissive of hormonal changes in adolescents. Unless you’re suggesting compartmentalized unisex locker rooms so that everyone has individualized privacy.

Changing for dance class in 7th grade was hell. We all did it in one bathroom/hallway. I was bigger than most of the other girls and they were horrendous to me. I quit dance because of it.

Last month, the school installed privacy curtains in one locker room, mandating that the transgender student use them
