“Did you come to my f**cking show and just say that Pride sucks? Are you f**cking stupid? Don’t be so f**cking ridiculous. If you have nothing nice to say, shut up, alright?”

High five Adele!

I have some friends, and my stepmom who’d probably say Adele’s comeback was deserved, sure, but that it was nasty, doesn’t help, makes the divide worse, amps up the vitriol….

Kumbaya stuff, which for the most part I agree. If they go low, don’t join them.

Listen, it’s our job as decent thinking human beings to figure out when to be subtle and when to be vocal badass on behalf of others.

Especially for marginalized groups who get bullied, beat up and killed, notably in my state of Florida where evolution goes to die. And with 47 in charge and Project 2025 in the works, this is no time to play diplomatic. Democrats have always been too nice. For noble reasons, but those days are over.

In Florida, our LGBTQ+ community is getting the ever-loving shit beat out of them by Gov DeSantis, Chief homophobe and transphobe. Who I’m convinced is closeted. He who doth protest way too much.
