“We’re religious conservatives. If there’s no one to judge, we wither up and die like vampires in the sunlight.”

My evergreen question to conservatives: “Why the fuck do you care about this issue?”

Well duh, you try being Chris Rock’s less famous younger brother’s even less famous even younger brother lol.

Truth!

yes—maybe he can get a fight with that youtube guy whose name I can never (care to) remember.

As a former “pro-lifer” and lifelong devoted Christian, your statement is untrue as a blanket statement. First of all, not all devoted Christians believe that life begins at conception - far from it. Second of all, only the most rabid pro-lifers I knew, back when I counted myself one of them, compared abortion to…

We’re a transportation news site. A shooting on public transit is transportation news

“I am Russian, I am from Russia and I stand by my country”.

You forgot the second part: “rile up the base and get them out to vote so that we can keep our own jobs of doing nothing other than scaring up white people so that we can keep our own jobs.”

Yep, and ‘other’ing the marginalized minorities allows one to consolidate more political clout/power from the newly awakened racists. Divided populations are a common, effective way to secure more votes.

This bill aims to help normalize racism and homo/transphobia by keeping the insulated cis white masses afraid of…

It makes sense in a twisted way..

Hate/Fear/mistrust/lies all thrive in an environment where people are viewed as “other” and by pushing people to the side lines so they simply “don’t exist” its quite easy to make the erroneous argument that “its such a small group why even bother” (the needs/desires of the many vs.…

I’m not going to lie, your story made me tear up. Not even included in this story was when I came out, which had me literally living two lives simultaneously. I presented as a woman at work, but was forced to take everything off and wipe off my makeup before I came through that door. In one instance, a curious police…

This hits home on so many levels. Firstly, fellow LGBT gearhead, so you know, hooray and stuff...

Thanks for sharing Mercedes. Like in your household, being a gay man was considered one of the worst things one could become. Naturally that didn’t make coming out an easy or pleasant thing for me. During that time I lived at home after coming out (and lying through my teeth to escape conversion therapy) and before…

As someone who was bullied in middle school for being different (I’m a cishet female, but had short curly hair and looked very boyish so I was called all sorts of homophobic slurs, plus had bad skin, glasses, and funny accent and was poor), and had parents who’d get angry at me for acting out instead of trying to find…

I could have written a lot of this myself. I am not trans, but as a fat, acne-covered, gay teen, my 1990 Hyundai Excel was my escape pod as well. I also had an obsession with smart cars and bought a new one in 2011.

Thanks for sharing.  Well written and brings back memories and feelings (and memories of feelings!) of my own. Such a pleasant read into the weekend.

Mate, you don’t expect a journalist, sorry, “Blogger” to actually fact-check, do you? Do you?
