Imelda Marcos haunts the Pacific Northwest, Fred Phelps goes quietly with human dignity, and Ms. Magazine promotes trans acceptance, as your AggreGAYtor dances the night away.
The Good
The mayor of Silverton Oregon is selling his (yes, this time it’s not misgendering) shoes to fund public works.
No one will protest Fred Phelps’ funeral.
Trans models earn Ms. recognition.
Chelsea Manning may soon be Chelsea Manning.
The Bad
This is why pride parades suck.
Until a comprehensive ENDA is passed, bathroom panic can cost a worker their job.
The Fugly
Several hundred moms hate garbage junk snack food for the wrong reasons.
Thank goodness it’s unusual enough to be news when someone gets punched in the face by their mother for coming out.
