    He always looks so sad in stories about his nightmare laws being blocked (sadly too rare).

    Probably why I refer to him as Ron DeSadness.

    Can anyone recommend a place, site, channel or something that focus on only positive queer news? So much bad happens nowadays, it is easy to get depressed and forget stuff like conversion therapy being banned in country after country, or like this court decision, or the newest gender change law in Germany, or the newest victory for abortion, marriage changes in Thailand, and so on

      While she’s not entirely focused on positive queer stories, Jessica Kellgren-Fozard’s YouTube channel does have a large number of positive stories, both recent and historical, and where they are less positive, she does bring an air of positivity about them by highlighting the progress made, and pushes a philosophy of togetherness and camaraderie that’s very upbeat.

    I feel like this has always been a win-win situation for him. If the law sticks, he can claim victory with his base. If it doesn’t, he can rile them up with his anti-woke propaganda.

    At least with this decision, the sane people unintentionally caught in his crosshair won’t have to suffer for his political antics.

      What I always say is that Republicans ALWAYS spin things their way. It doesn’t matter what you do, of will always be framed in the worst possible way by them. We need to do good things anyways and not get caught up in optics.
