In her new book, Kamala Harris insists she only lost the election because she didn’t have enough time. But she accidentally demonstrates the real reason: she’s a terrible politician.

As a gay man I would rather see people in my community be able to prosper, be able to afford to live comfortably to have guaranteed housing food on their table, access to medical Care. Anything outside of that is superficial. Who cares if I’m able to get married If I can’t afford a roof over my head. That’s the major issue with Democrats, regarding the trans community, they don’t care that the trans community is the largest percentage of the unhoused among lgbtq+. They don’t care that they’re unhoused, they focus on being able to use the restroom of choice. Focusing on social issues is blatantly, denying equity and equal justice
Without civil rights there is no equity or social justice. It isn’t just about getting married. It’s about getting fired for being out. It’s about being denied housing for being out. It’s about being jailed for sodomy or dragged behind a truck until you are dead.
