This is the resting site of Technical Sergeant Leonard Phillip Matlovich.
Race relations instructor, and recipient of the Purple Heart and Bronze Star.
He purposefully outted himself as gay to fight their ban, the first to do so.
This is what real courage looks like.
Happy Veterans Day

The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

A 2006 state-commissioned report, based on research by Black historians, debunked this narrative, officially recognizing the events as a massacre and coup d’état. The historical understanding has been actively corrected in recent years to reflect the planned political violence that occurred. /end

The Olympic Committee is tainted by this execrable, unscientific & unjust decision against a tiny, marginalized, oppressed minority. Central to the Olympic philosophy is that SPORT IS A HUMAN RIGHT. A blanket ban is blatantly & inarguably contradictory to that principle. #TransRightsAreHumanRights
The International Olympic Committee is set to ban trans and intersex women from competition. This is despite the fact that for 20 years, the IOC has allowed trans athletes to compete and only 1 has ever competed and none have ever won a medal.

Just in case you thought this was about trans athletes. This was solely about creating a fascist and racist gender bureaucracy over what constitutes being feminine enough to be considered a woman.
They're targeting cis women who may be intersex and banning them from sport.

Today in history, 1898: After voters elect a biracial city council in Wilmington, N.C., a mob of white supremacists overthrows the local government in a coup d’état. The mob also killed as many as 300 black residents in what is known as the Wilmington Massacre. /1

Trump and Hegseth belong in chains in The Hague. Nothing could convince me otherwise. It is humanly impossible for them to know that all 75 of these persons in 19 different boats were deserving of a horrible death. No matter their knowledge or opinion the actions are illegal.

Cherishing every little bit of good news. Same-sex couples, please consider marriage. Reliance may still count a little bit. Maybe 1 of the 6 right-wingers on the Roberts Court has a beloved LGBTQ family member...and reliance is at least a viable rationale if they want it to be.

It's still quite unbelievable to me that a sitting president did this and still has ANY supporters. I can only surmise that they have ALL lost their goddam minds.

Unmarried same-sex couples, pls consider marriage NOW. Stare decisis is weak in the Roberts Court, but reliance is still a factor, & 1 of the few arrows in our quiver for this moment. Looks like we'll hit the 16th anniversary w/ SSM intact.

10 Nov 2025 -- Supreme Court turns down right-wing appeal to re-visit gay marriage decision Obergefell v Hodges, and potentially carve out exceptions for (mainly Christian conservative) anti-marriage officials. @rikiwilchins.bsky.social
Supreme Court won’t hear challenge to landmark gay marriage ruling
The announcement indicates there is not an appetite among the high court’s conservative majority to revisit one of the court’s most significant decisions in recent years.
