I just like imagining female cops being told to go into men's restrooms and smile and stare at random men. They'd have half the city arrested within a fortnight. Thank god the judge wasn't completely loving stupid here.

Saw that story and spent an hour fantasizing about a midnight drag queen commando raid on the facility.   What new dystopic hells hidden away inside America will I discover tomorrow? Truly every day in the USA is an adventure.

LORD OF BOOTY posted:I know I'm probably just kneejerking, but... I'm not the only one who wants loving vengeance for this poo poo, right? If by Stonewall x 1000 you mean massive political protest against homophobia and insane levels of access to incredibly deadly weapons, I'm down. (I also don't personally qualify that as vengeance, but whatever you want to call it.) If you mean VENGEANCE as in direct, personal violence as revenge, then I sympathize but it's time to sit down and watch an afterschool special about how violence only begets violence. We can do better than adopting the tactics of anyone who consider us their enemy.

MaxxBot posted:Calm down fags, it wasn't even an attack on a gay bar. LO-loving-L. Yeah, and all the drag shows were just for the "young people". (I say this seriously, a number of well-known drag queens made Pulse their home, performed there, or had friends in the club and have been deeply impacted by the Orlando shooting.)

We have no idea what Trump will do, only what he's said. The important thing is that the Republicans are about to control every branch of government and are eager to rollback all of Obama's policies they can and then begin implementing their insane party platform.

kustomkarkommando posted:The vote has been delayed for a bit as furious negotiations have been taking place behind the scenes. Latin America, the US and EU all oppose the resolution but there are indications China and India will be voting in favour. The vote is expected to be extremely tight and could possibly pass, South Africa has surprised a lot of people by supporting the move. WTF is South Africa up to? I know the ANC has slid into the crazytown of the one-party state, but this on top of pulling out of the ICC is bizarre considering they used to be so gung-ho about multilateralism. (I ask this as a non-expert about South African politics.)

Kurtofan posted:Bad news, the probably next French president, François Fillon, isn't exactly LGBT friendly, he's a social conservative, voted against gay marriage, and wants to restrict adoption rights available to same-sex couples. On the bright side, Fillon is now the favorite because Sarkozy flamed out of Les Républicains' primary; Sarko went so far as to promise to ban gay marriage and then dropped that promise only this January. Now we can just cross our fingers that the far-right FN doesn't get into power (I don't think they will but it's possible my faith is misplaced).

kustomkarkommando posted:A blocking amendment to protect the UN expert on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity from suspension was successful (by just 7 votes mind). Turned out reports that South Africa would back the motion were erroneous and a clutch of other nations where convinced to abstain. Thank god, I couldn't bear another backpedal.

Look the allies are really busy here repealing non-discrimination ordinances so we can get our bathroom privileges back, let's not waste their time with more demands ...sorry, I'm still mad about that, trying to resolve it with not-entirely-accurate humor.

This WashPo op-ed sums it up for me:quote:When offering future invitations, sure. Harvard has a bad habit of inviting buzzy figures to be IOP fellows not because of their sterling commitment to the values the school holds dear but because of prestige or publicity. Establishing an explicit set of principles — one that distinguishes between the Mannings and Spicers of the world — to determine whether someone deserves the designation of fellow is not a bad idea. Neither is laying out exactly what statement Harvard makes when it invites someone to spend time at the Institute of Politics.
