Personally, I'm a fan of the annual No Pants Day which is always the first Friday in May. Nobody is talking on their cell phone. Was it taken in the 80s?

these are the same people that have no problem normalizing gun use with shit like open carry. candidly, if there were 300M dildoes in the US rather than 300M guns, i think we would be in much better shape. There is probably more, hopefully. Not embarrassed to say I have a few, you won't see them displayed in a parade. You wouldn't see any on display at pride.

We just had the "World Naked Bikeride" in our town a couple of weekends ago. They took a hiatus during Covid, but they are back. News said "hundreds" showed up.
What! I thought Portland, Oregon had the World Naked Bikeride! There's more than one?!?!Philly has their Naked Bike Ride as well.

The borough of St. Laurent in Montreal cancelled two drag queens reading to the children events. The parents were outraged!
They were outraged because they were cancelled, not because they had issues with it. They started petitions to bring the events back, snd hundreds and hundreds of parents signed them.
So, Rip....Booyah!! "Assault on our children" indeed! Perhaps you can focus on something important now, instead of this phony indignation, because the Vulpine News told you this is bad and you should be angry.

It would be hard to do in the moment, but too bad Panda Dulce couldn't have asked how do I know you aren't the groomer and the pedophile? Some of them are so militant I wonder what they are trying to hide about themselves.

One wonders what visual they think they are presenting by bullying and threatening drag queens and children. Maybe it makes them feel important or powerful. Maybe it makes them feel like "real men."

From the article you found, it seems these people have scripts constantly playing in their head so they don't even know what is really happening. Sad some people are so insecure in who they are they need to make other people feel bad about who they are. She said that she was leading DQSH on Saturday in downtown Silver Spring, Maryland, when protesters disrupted the event, which was sponsored by Loyalty Bookstore, and one man shouted, "Everything he says is a lie! If you're born a man, you're a man! If you're born a woman, you're a woman!"
Stone said that security guards intervened and escorted her to her car. But the clash profoundly unsettled her and the children, some of whom began to cry.
"I remember that I was shaking," she said. "It was just terrifying."

I became aware this election season something I did not know about the Tennessee AG. Tennessee is the only state in the union which does not elect the state attorney general. The attorney general is selected by the state supreme court for eight year terms. Seeing we (Tennessee) are a hard red state and the Supreme court is Republican controlled, the attorney general will always be a Republican.

Iowa is also a very red state-governor, both houses of the legislature, both senators and 3 of 4 congressional representatives.
However, we have Democrats who were voted in as AG and State Auditor. Someone leaked a recording from some event where the governor said she needs "her people" in those two offices.
Both the AG and State Auditor butt heads with the governor on a regular basis. The AG refused to represent the State in her recent appeal of Iowa's present abortion law so a Republican was hired to do it. They lost.
She says the State Auditor picks on her but she misspent so many of the dollars the state received for Covid. She spent it on things that were already ordered before the bills were passed.
Of course now she is taking full credit for the current infrastructure spending.
