The hand-wringing won’t be about a trans person being assaulted - that’s baked into the cake.

Yep. The world needs a collective lesson on gender identity and gender presentation.

It was obvious to me that SSM wasn’t the end of it. LGBT still has a long way to go. You can get fired in most states. Trans people such as myself get murdered in extremely high numbers.

Any time I read anything about bathroom policing I get that sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach because I am preparing to read about an act of violence perpetuated against an LGBT person. It’s just a matter of time before it happens and it makes national news.

So glad we keep finding ways to be an openly bigoted country. Was worried that after nationally recognized same-sex marriage we were going soft there for a second

He read the script that was submitted to him, and declined. So he isn’t actually doing anything with this movie that he didn’t write.

But Ferrell didn’t do anything. He read a script that was submitted to him, and rejected it. That’s it.

No shit - where’s the apology to all the American people who died or had their lives ruined by his lying, treacherous, thug-filled administration?

I would 100% be down for a movie mocking his terrible presidency, but sadly I think I agree that jokes revolving around his disease are unnecessary.

Well, I would feel worse about it if he and his entire family hadn’t spent his second term convincing the world that he was fit to run the country when he wasn’t. They were more concerned about his reputation then they were with the United States and the people he served.

If only Reagan had your compassion when it came to people suffering from AIDS, he wouldn’t have been a terrible person and would not have kept people in his administration who found that to be a laughing matter.

I don’t know. There is probably some humor that could be mined from my great aunt who, between bouts of flirtatious nudity, semi-successfully recruited two of the Nursing Home Aids to go on a road trip to hunt down the hussy she was sure stole her husband. The aids knew her husband died, but they also really wanted to…

And as I said (although I’m guessing you didn’t actually read my post past the first line), Ferrell is a boorish dickhead for doing it.

Counterpoint: I doubt your grandparents were as despicable as Reagan

It’s shitty, sure, but here’s the thing: Reagan was kind of shitty. And more importantly, he was a public figure and open to ridicule.

Not as mean spirited as allowing Reagan to continue as president while suffering from dementia.

But the subject of any artistic product is no measure by which to judge the product itself. We have to wait to see how it’s done before we can judge, no?

Ronald Reagan’s entire presidential run was basically Weekend at Bernie’s. I say have at it.

Speaking as a non-white person, fuck Ronald Reagan. I’m sure non-straights feel the same way but will allow them to speak on their own behalf.
