I am, on the other hand, both sad and angry.
Just this past Friday, 06/20/20, this administration introduced a rule which erased the non-discrimination protections in healthcare for the LGBTQ+ community. The "rollbacks" reach back and beyond the protections put in place by ObamaCare. Many are concerned some members of the LGBTQ+ community now may not seek care when needed during this pandemic.
I cannot imagine ever thinking it's fine to erase these rights. The simple enactment of this new rule of exclusion was bad enough. The hostilities toward our LGBTQ+ friends and family were also demonstrated by announcing this new rule during June, which is Pride Month. The administration chose to add further insult to injury by announcing this rule on the 4 year anniversary of
I find some solace in the fact that the Human Rights Campaign has announced they will file suit to reverse these recent exclusions of equal rights in medical care for the LGBTQ+ community.

This president and his sycophants will not stop until all the non-white, non-straight, non-male, non-Ivy league grad people are all locked up. I fantasize about being able to time-travel them all back here in, like, sixty years when much of our entire nation is of some type of mixed race.
