A LGBTQ Victory...and a terror

I read today that The Supreme Court has said that Gay and Transgender people cannot be subject to discrimination in the workplace because of their sexual orientation. This is a tremendous victory for the LGBTQ community and may shape the law regarding sexual minorities for years yet to come.

It was also reassuring, because two conservatives voted with the liberals on the bench. This means that the Supreme Court is not yet a rubber stamp for Trump and/or religious zealots.

But that’s today, and there is a warning here that we should heed. If Trump wins a second term, then he will almost certainly be able to stack the Court with his own servile favorites--men and women who would happily support laws criminalizing homosexual and other “non-standard” behaviors. 




The point? We have absolutely got to make sure that Trump does not occupy the White House for another term. We must make every effort to vote him out, before he gets a chance to shape the Court in his own twisted image for years to come.

So, come November, remember, get to the polls. Vote! And vote against Trump.

Do it for the memory of all those who have been fired, or hurt, or even killed...

Just for the way that their hearts moved them to love.
