Honestly, we're only a few years away from being able to create a genetic child of two same sex parents and after that we really I guess won't need straight people? I am unsure what happens then.

that's when we begin phase two

A friend of mine is worried about what brexit means for LGBT protections in the UK. Does anyone have a better idea how much that's tied in with EU regulations vs UK law? As an American, I haven't the faintest idea myself as to whether there's anything to that

Lol if you think the EU itself have LGBT protections, or that the members of the European Court of Human Rights (which England didn't quit, because it's not part of the EU) can't ignore it. Like Russia, which is a member, or Poland who is still ignoring the court demands that they recognize Homosexuals' basic “rights” like inheritance for married gay couples. Since it's a purely advisory court whose goal is to judge if a country break or not any human rights. There is no EU supreme court forcing anyone to follow its judgement. It also mean that all the gay marriage laws were actually passed by the national parliaments and thank to politicians actually acting and fighting for gay rights. Imagine the state of the gay rights in the US today if the democrats needed to pass them through congress.

Like I said, I'm not really aware of the details in Europe, hence why I asked

John Kerry just apologized, on behalf of the State Department, for the Lavender Scare:

recognizing something was wrong and apologizing for it is always cool, but i can't feel like some of the effect is blunted by waiting until you're walking out the door to do so
added bonus of knowing the team coming in would be happy to bring it back if they could

Putting on a condom is a legit more useful life skill than having a pretty signature though.

"Congratulations to my 17-year-old son, he's done such a fine job with the signature on those child support checks!"

but how will he earn the respect of his betters without that sleek cursive penmanship?

Its a few days ago, but looks like Mattis is stalling the transgender nonsense for now, and leaving current policy in place. So there is that.

yeah, like, i think it reflects pretty badly on your organization to make a fellowship offer to a prominent political figure only to immediately reverse it when some bigwig objects and pretend like you didn't understand exactly what you were doing by offering it in the first place

i don't really care about whether manning 'deserves' the honor. harvard iop has made it pretty clear by this exchange that it really isn't one regardless, imo
