Gohmert goes for the brass, Lively gets it in the asparagus, and Ukraine smacks the grass, as your AggreGAYtor sings with the bass.
The Good
Louie Gohmert has launched a campaign for Speaker of the House. It’s good news because it’s hilarious. It’ll be proof we’re living in Bizarro America if it comes true.
Texas gets a new marriage campaign.
Scott Lively, architect of the “kill the gays” bill, will be tried for crimes against humanity.
Haven Con is coming … all over Austin’s place.
India has elected its first transgender mayor.
The Bad
The vigil for a young trans woman’s suicide was well-attended, but we just can’t call that good news.
A trans woman in San Francisco was stabbed for being there on a bus.
The Fugly
Kid Rock used the “PC” word.
Ukrainian radicals are mirroring both Russian and American conservatives in their wild-eyed attacks on teh gay.
