I don’t know why people can’t just give their hands a good shake over the sink and then wipe them on their pants or shirt or something if that doesn’t do the trick?

One air machine almost blow me away. It was that strong. So paper towels all the way.

Actually, the number one thing that changes people’s minds about a group of people that they hate is actually meeting someone from that group. And realizing that they are a decent human being.

Yet, the U.S. mainstream religious followers now wear hate as a badge of honor.

The Theocratic candidates are becoming so bold as to *legislate this hate speech*.

OK I’ll bite for the sake of education. In simple explanations, a transboy/transman is someone who was born female (or intersex- someone who had both male & female sexual organs) but is male. A transgirl /transwoman is someone who was born male (or intersex) but is female. The “trans” is a prefix to what they…

I thought the same thing. I’m just as equally as scared he went to a Cruz rally. Just because Cruz supporters haven’t gotten violent yet, doesn’t put my mind at ease. It’s still the same violent, intolerant rhetoric, which can turn so quickly into the physical. And my parental instincts kicked in, I was just concerned…

For the same reason BLM protestors do their thing? Many of these folks have never met (or more likely don’t realize they’ve met) a trans person before. It’s also much easier to talk shit about a group of people when not face to face with those people. I think he was hoping that by being there and by allowing them to…

I find it interesting that rape only seems to exist for these candidates when trying to beat up trans or gay people. You want to be serious about protecting little girls - maybe stop protecting and justifying the Dugars. There is your abuser - not this boy.

That’s a lot of dignity, eloquence, and integrity, especially for someone at a Republican candidate’s rally.

I know this is an obvious job, but it’s worth it: Isn’t Ted Cruz supposed to be a Christian?

RIGHT ON, JAMES! You did an important thing, and I want to thank you. Somewhere out there, a trans kid was inspired by your actions. Visibility is a big deal.

First off, this kid is a stone cold badass. That said, “By throwing me out before I had a chance to even hear Cruz’s opinions, they are sending a very clear message to trans and LGBT teens that we are not welcome, and that we are second class citizens.”

Well done James. And thank you. this country is under a high tide of bigotry, and it seems that there isn’t a day that goes by where bigots are passing oppressive laws or inciting crowds with hate rhetoric. Your courage today in the face of that bigotry shows us that even though we are smothered with hate, beacons of…

Dear Ted Cruz and the entire GOP:

That’s a lot of dignity, eloquence, and integrity, especially for someone at a Republican candidate’s rally.

If a presidential candidate is so terrified of a kid who is ‘different’ from him, it doesn’t bode particularly well for his ability to deal with the whole wide world as president.

You probably know this already, but kid, you are awesome. And brave. And smart. And brave. And did I say brave?

James, you are damn brave! I urge you not to try that at a Trump rally , as they seem to enjoy punching people way too much.

Van Kuilenburg’s appearance at Cruz’s rally was meant to call attention to the violent impact of such prejudice. He went, he told The Frederick News-Post, “to show Cruz supporters that rhetoric about gay and transgender rights hurts real people like him.”

Yes its sad when a rational persons first thought is “I hope he got out in one piece.” About a child. At a public event. Attended by people with kids of their own.
