I just looked up what River Phoenix looked like and he looked more like a young Johnny Depp at the time of his death than he did his own brother. So...yeah. Not quite sure what that’s about.

Indeed they have their issues. However, many of my LGBTQ friends go for Carnaval and they love it. Maybe it’s not the most progressive country in terms of rights (and really, so many of us have a long way to go) but this particular festival seems to be the exception to the rule.

HOW I WISH MY FRIENDS WOULD DO THIS!

Met her in person at LAX once pre-marriage (I think). She’s nice. The end.

Yeah. I can see someone as a teen maybe becoming a conservative in that environment as a type of rebellion. Also, she could have just been raised with values that are more aligned with conservatism (in theory, not current practice) so I get it. I was just sort of taken aback by that because being a Rep is rare for the…

Thank you for that follow up. I did not know that.

I agree strongly with this being the reason. What is interesting to me is the fact that many Hawaiian citizens, especially natives, have a very openly hostile mentality surrounding all things ‘Merica as a result of their (recent by global standards) colonization. The rotating military presence there (mostly Navy) does…

Booker is problematic for his vote against the Canada drug import bill that would have helped lower drug costs in some cases. I’m not sure what else he has in his voting record that might make me go “hmm” but that definitely took the shine off him as a frontrunner for anything in 2020 (to me, at least).

Agreed. I do know a few folks who did the break for no real reason, got back together and it’s all good. So, I’ve seen it.

It. Depends.

People who have never had it, I’m guessing.

Right!? He’s never attractive to me. And honestly, he is one of the few people who is actually repulsive looking to me. Him and Amy Schumer are some very, very, very unfortunate looking folks.

From what I understand, this is the most common way people are here “illegally”. Sooo...this wall means nothing.

It’s because some white folks use extensions in a very different way than us black folks do. If she found someone to braid her hair down and give her a nice lace-front application, she wouldn’t have this issue. I don’t think her hair is strong enough to support a weave (where the weft is sown into the cornrows/plaits…

I get your point. I’m just saying that I don’t have another word for it. It is like a grieving process. Not on the same scale as a death. But you can grieve a lot of things. A relationship, a career loss, a divorce, dreams for the future, etc. If there’s another word that makes sense, I’m open to it. I’m not trying to…

Definitely agree. My friend was obviously lesbian and her mother was on some other shit.

I’m not sure how long Caitlyn had been taking the hormones so I’m not sure how far into the transition she was when they met. But it’s likely that she was concealing her identity (given the time) and it would make sense in that case for Kris not to know.

Yeah. I respectfully disagree. While it may be PC to say that people shouldn’t have a death of dreams, hopes and desires for their kid based on heteronormative standards not being lived up to, the fact is that they do. Especially those folks from older generations. Just because you don’t like it doesn’t make it any…

Stages of grief for something like this is real. I have a friend who is lesbian and she was so mad at a her mom for not immediately jumping on board when she came out. Her mother is an ass overall so there were issues there, sure. But, there is also this loss on her mother’s part as well and I had to have a long talk…

I may be out of line here but honestly, your family and your spouse are two different types of relationships. A spouse is a relationship of choice, but family is not (well, not unless you decide to cut them off). My point is that Caitlyn didn’t have to marry Kris, especially given the fact that she’s said she was…
