This statement from Jonathan Joss's husband is heart breaking.
No, headline writers, he wasn't "killed in an argument with a neighbor." He was *deliberately murdered* for being gay right after his dog was decapitated.
Bet the murderer calls himself a "Christian."
THIS is why Pride is important.

AOC slammed Mike Johnson, saying: “You run the government. If you have the votes, then go ahead. If you need Democrats, then you need to negotiate with Democrats. Those are your two options. Blaming someone else because your shoes are untied isn’t one.”

If the system is rigged, then voting starts to feel meaningless. True democracy isn’t just about casting a ballot, it’s about having leaders who actually represent the people. If that’s been taken away, the real fight isn’t just about elections, it’s about taking back the system itself.
There is a vast difference between choosing leaders by our votes vs. Ilegally purchasing and owning a candidate ,which is what is impacting us now. Is it still Democracy if our voting system has been corrupted?
The downside of democracy? We all live with the consequences of choices made by others. Even if you voted differently, you're still impacted by decisions from leaders you didn't choose.

I have played Dragon Age 2 a lot, but I don't usually walk around with Bethany in my party. I have on this playthrough, and I am wondering why no one ever told me that Bethany asks Isabela how sex with women is. Is Bethany a lesbian? #DragonAge #DA2
