Celebrating PRIDE & Healthy Man Parts
Morning
Brought to my attention by fellow blogger Steve over at All Natural & More, the Supreme Court is about to take up Conversion Therapy.
HuffPost: Supreme Court's Conservatives Seem Ready to Allow Conversion Therapy for LGBTQ Kids.
If those six asswipes support that archaic, Dark Ages bullshit we're done for.
I need some Midweek Mirth to cleanse my palate.

It's Banned Books Week.
Censorship is very much alive and well in this country. And Apple just took another big bite out of the Freedom of Speech belt.
The most banned titles included “A Clockwork Orange” and “Wicked,” while the most banned authors included Stephen King, Sarah J. Maas and Jodi Picoult. More than 80% of all bans originated in just three states: Florida, Texas and Tennessee.
According to many accounts, Stephen King is the most-banned author of all time.

How do people lose their moral compass?
What is it with people who are so entrenched in a belief that they can't even allow a person to complete a sentence, or finish asking a question, before they jump in with the "what about-ism" nonsense? Interrupting shows a total lack of respect. That is what my In-laws did to their daughter last evening. The realization that, after almost 60 years, they are not the people they have portrayed themselves to be has had a devastating effect. How do you respond to people who say when asked --- politics aside emphasized --- they are just fine with serial adultery, serial fraud, serial bigotry, serial sexual assault, serial criminality, serial dishonesty? Then they accuse her of being willing to give up family over politics when she said no such thing. Did I mention she emphasized, "politics aside?"
Of course, I want to jump into the middle of it, but she says, "It's my fight to deal with." Well, I suppose it's best if I stay out of it.
I think I need to go and lose myself in a good book. Maybe one of the banned books since the current administration has claimed the removal of books from libraries is "a hoax" and dropped 11 complaints over "so-called" book bans, which you can read about, straight from the "horse's mouth" as it were,
HERE.
Anyway, happy Friday.
