My joyful cup runneth over, and its been a while.

It also aligns with how straight people mostly define “woman” and “man”.
Those two terms are used very often to mean “straight woman” and “straight man” without people realizing it.

If you read an article that has in it’s title “for men” it’s usually written exclusively for straight men. “Dating Tips for Men” type

I have forgotten how to process good news.  This is excellent and I'm happy?  Feels strange, I'll still take it.

So who’s collecting signatures on a copy of the decision that we’re gonna send to Trump et. al. in a ‘Happy Pride Month’ envelope? Asking for me.

The lawyer involved in the argument 100% agrees with you, btw.

Is it that liberal? That’s what made this case such a touchstone to me. I don’t think it’s a liberal reading to say that if you love a man and you are a man, then you can be fired, when you wouldn’t be fired for being a woman who loves that same man. That’s clear sex discrimination, to me. 

I actually think Roberts sees the writing on the wall as well as since he is Chief Justice, the court will be known as the Roberts Court by historians. He doesn’t want something that is so obviously growing in power to consign him to the dustbin of history as a horrible bigot and jurist like many consider Taney to be

As I said over on The Root:

Ladies and gentlemen, look up ‘justice’ in our dictionary - you see, you cant find it because it is not rele... wait, never mind... THIS IS ABOUT WORDS, NOT JUSTICE DARN IT!

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury! Dictionaries define words. Sex is a...what?...YES! A word! If the definition don’t fit, you must continue to discriminate against entire classes of people! I rest my case!

To me, it’s a clear sign of the ACLU’s argument - that you can’t separate sex from sexual orientation if you’re firing a person for loving a man because that person is a man and not a woman - is absolutely airtight logic.

Are you suggesting that our understanding of the nuances of human biology, psychology and social structure change over time?

LGBTQ+ discrimination is inherently sex discrimination, because it is about cultural expectations for sex and gender behaviours. It’s not surprising that a strict textualist would come down on the right side of this decision, because it’s obvious and plain as day. If anything, this only further exposes the three

Typical frat boy phoning it in.

“But...but...this can’t be right! I looked up ‘s-e-x’ in a bunch of dictionarys!”

I definitely didn’t have Neil Gorsuch being a staunch defender of Native and LGBTQ+ rights, but here we are.

“Meanwhile, Kavanaugh’s losing opinion slides in at a slim 28 pages.”

WTF? Well, the city is about 50k, but the community of So Bend, Mishawaka, Elkhart and Niles is about 100k. I was born there, grew up in a suburb and now live closer to Indianapolis.

I read this and at first I thought, it’s yet another it another “ He’s not gay enough” article. And it is that...

I knew when I was nine or ten, and this was decades ago, pre-internet.
