Vox has a great primer on the current state of affairs regarding LGBTQ+ rights in this country on the eve of yet another spate of critical decisions this term @ SCOTUS.

The College Board counters DeSantis on LGBTQ course inclusion.

Betty White has died. I’ve got the feels. RIP, you great, great Golden Girl.

We are currently living in the third decade of the 21st century, yet we still have stories like this. Simply chilling.

Brooklyn Park police said Monday that they believe a man intentionally struck his neighbor with his car, killing him and fleeing the scene.

Family members of the victim identified him on social media as Paul Pfeifer.

Police apprehended the driver after they tracked the car to a nearby house later that night, according to Mark Bruley, deputy chief. The department is pursuing homicide charges, which could come as soon as Tuesday.

“We believe at this point, this was an intentional act,” Bruley said.

In a statement, Pfeifer’s husband, Joseph Pfeifer St. James, said “hate is what killed him.” He declined to be interviewed by the Star Tribune.

Just another reason why we have a Pride season. It’s important to celebrate who we are, how far we’ve come, and just how far we have to go … even here in Minnesota.😩

Very good numbers on same-sex marriage in this country.

Another reason Cait’s candidacy is a ludicrous proposition.

A majority of Republicans are “OK” with same-sex marriage for the first time.

Five years after the landmark Supreme Court decision that made marriage equality the law of the land, 51% of Republicans said they supported marriage equality, according to a Public Religion Research Institute poll that looked at data from 2020. In 2019, 47% of Republicans felt the same way.

The poll, which was released on Tuesday, said that 67% of all Americans support marriage equality. Seventy-two percent of independents back marriage equality, and 76% of Democrats say they are in favor of it. The poll also showed majority support for marriage equality among all the religious groups it surveyed, with the exception of white evangelical Protestants.

Sixty-two percent of Republicans say they favor nondiscrimination protections for LGBTQ people. Eight-five percent of Democrats and 79% of Independents say the same. The Equality Act, federal legislation that would provide safeguards to LGBTQ people in housing, public accommodations, jury service, and more, passed the House in February and is under consideration in the Senate.

Guess I’m okay with 51 percent.

A photographic history of men in love.
