    FYI, Harrison Butker also said some pretty awful things about the LGBTQ community as well…

    Who, besides Italy? Sometimes who counts as "Central Europe" can be fuzzy.

    Once we kick the neofascists out of government in Italy, the momentum for legalization of same sex marriage will be unstoppable. A huge majority supports it. The far-right is much weaker than it looks, and will soon be floundering once again.

    Thailand is one step closer to marriage equality. Their senate finally passed the same bill their house had passed several months ago. It is now up to the king to sign it.

    they would join Taiwan and Nepal as the only Asian countries to legalize same sex marriages.

    Surprised this didn't happen earlier under Obama when DODT was repealed.

    South Korean courts have ruled that same sex couples are entitled to the same insurance benefits as heterosexual couples.

    This is a huge win in a very conservative country. It's not gay marriage yet but it's a step toward equality that I honestly was surprised happened.

    Heritage Foundation Says That Of Course GOP Will Use KOSA To Censor LGBTQ Content

    We’ve talked a lot about KOSA, the “Kids Online Safety Act” that has massive bipartisan support in Congress. The latest version was introduced with 26 Senators as sponsors or co-sponsors. We’ve explained over and over again how the bill is unconstitutional and will actually do a lot to harm kids.

    Of course, like so many of these “bipartisan” anti-internet bills that have bipartisan support, the support on each side of the aisle is based on a very different view of how the bill will be used in practice. We went through this last year with the AICOA antitrust bill. Democrats supported it (falsely) believing that it would magically increase competition, while Republicans were gleefully talking about how they were going to use it to force websites to host their propaganda.

    Now, with KOSA, again you have Democrats naively (and incorrectly) believing that because it’s called the “Kids Online Safety Bill” it will magically protect children, even though tons of experts have made it clear it will actually put them at greater risk.

    Meanwhile, Republicans are now freely admitting that they’re going to use KOSA to force websites to censor LGBTQ content. They’re literally proud of it. The Heritage Foundation, which at least used to have some principled stances before being taken over by culture warriors without any principles, is bragging about how it will use KOSA in this manner:

    Recently came out of the closet, myself: bisexual.

    I'm fine, no regrets, and I'm at peace with it.

    My "coming out" wasn't for the sake of representation or premiering some new version of myself, it was just so I could get on with life without it weighing on my mind.

    Now it's just who I am.

    Life's fab.

    Coming out as bisexual to work colleagues is always amusing. The surprise. Eyeroll.

    I haven't even told them that in addition to my spouse, I have two long term partners and one new partner in the last month.

    O:)

    Nor shall I be telling them, frankly. It's none of their business and I talk about my Partner all the time.
