That there are still doctors and pastors who support and offer this form of torture to unsupportive religious parents breaks my heart. That so many years later our LGBTQ+ children are unheard, misunderstood, and threatened by our government makes me furious.

I was heavily medicated, attended individual & group sessions, and was given electro-shock treatments. It didn't "cure" me of being gay, but it did leave a lasting effect. I have had memory issues, anxiety, and social phobia my whole life which drove me to self-medication with alcohol.

I was also hospitalized in a psychiatric ward after a nearly successful suicide attempt. I could no longer bear the bullying I was getting in high school from students and teachers alike, especially in gym class. My Catholic parents consulted a Catholic psychiatrist who extolled conversion therapy.

I just read about June Lockhart passing on Thursday, and about her defending gay people on The Virginia Graham Show in 1970. I at first couldn't understand why I didn't remember that, but after doing the math it became upsettingly clear. I was 16 at that time.

And let's stop calling it the Epstein ballroom - it's a throne room clearly.

American mothers can now stop worrying about listening to those pesky doctors and nurses - their King has spoken, just like Mammy Yokum in Lil' Abner. Drink her tonic from her magic berries and give to yer yunguns & all will be well by cracky!

Can't afford healthcare? No problem! President Trump provides medical advice to all Americans for FREE.

complete batshit insanity

Pregnant Women, DON’T USE TYLENOL UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY, DON’T GIVE TYLENOL TO YOUR YOUNG CHILD FOR VIRTUALLY ANY REASON, BREAK UP THE MMR SHOT INTO THREE TOTALLY SEPARATE SHOTS (NOT MIXED!), TAKE CHICKEN P SHOT SEPARATELY, TAKE HEPATITAS B SHOT AT 12 YEARS OLD, OR OLDER, AND, IMPORTANTLY, TAKE VACCINE IN 5 SEPARATE MEDICAL VISITS!

I did not remember that - what was the context if I may ask?

IN 1970, JUNE LOCKHART STOOD UP AGAINST HOMOPHOBIA ON NATIONAL TV. HALF A CENTURY LATER, QUEER AND TRANS PEOPLE ARE STILL FIGHTING FOR BASIC RESPECT. HONOR OUR QUEER ELDERS AND KEEP SPEAKING OUT AGAINST HATE! 🌈🏳‍⚧️

Republicans are going to invalidate any election results from blue areas in the US that aren’t favorable to them.

We’re well on our way to a dictatorship, never thought this would be possible.

Reagan hated tariffs—facts. That Canadian Reagan ad? Totally real. One of Trump’s first moves was putting a loyalist in charge of the Reagan Foundation to bury any inconvenient truths. Man’s built his own Orwellian “Ministry of Truth” inside the government.

Good morning everyone,
With all the negative news from the MAGA gang weighing me down, I dolls & monsters become my refuge, my distraction, and my comfort. Less than a week to Halloween and I'm immersing myself in my little dioramas that house my goulishlittle friends🎃🕷️💀

So do I! Hope you have a wonderful weekend ( and an early Happy Halloween!)

That is a splendid suggestion!!! One of the best ideas yet to register our opposition to fascism, and one that would certainly get the attention of
powerful people who would exert pressure on the White House (what's left of it)!

That’s awful! I’m so sorry!

I wish we could have a No Kings holiday season … and encourage people not to spend. Only purchase small gifts from local independent retailers!

Who remembers when somebody threw a pie in Anita Bryant's face at a press event? Why can't somebody do that to Pam Bondi to wipe that smug look off her face!?
