This 'n That

 

Morning

April is Testicular Cancer Awareness Month. I won't harp on it, but the monthly Buddy Ball Check might be a bit, um...extra.


According to Slate, the SCOTUS ruling places Conversion Therapy in the realm of First Amendment rights, but Gorsuch, writing for the majority, actually sends the case back down the ladder to the appeals court:


"After this wind-up, the reader might expect Gorsuch to declare that Colorado’s law does not pass strict scrutiny and therefore violates the First Amendment. But he did not. Instead, having walked right up to that point, he stepped back, and sent the case back down to the appeals court, directing it to apply the test instead. He strongly implied that the Colorado ban, and others like it, would not survive this review “as applied” to talk therapy. But he left the question open for the appeals court to answer."


Blogger bots placed yesterday's post "behind the Sensitive Content Warning." First one in a couple of weeks. One has to wonder, was it the nude, the memes, or the SCOTUS mention?

Whatever.
It's been cold and breezy again. Pool temps have dropped back down into the 60s. Naked works but the water is way too cold to get in.

Pivotal Moments

 

Morning

Lifted from Sicko Ricko

Happy Trans Day

Lifted from Debra - She Who Seeks

Stonewall, and the lesser-known 1966 Compton's Cafeteria riot (3 years *before* Stonewall) in the Tenderloin neighborhood, marked pivotal moments in trans resistance, where transgender women, drag queens, and queer patrons fought back against police harassment. If not for those Queens, where would the community be?

Total Crowd

 


Morning

Total nationwide crowd estimates have ranged from 7M - 9M. There were 3 different rallies here to accommodate the 24-hour nature of the city's industry. Our (very) conservative media estimated 1K at the downtown evening rally, and no estimates for the other two.
