What Made "Raw Deal" by Judas Priest Singer Rob Halford's Coming-Out Moment
Setting The Scene
For younger listeners who had no understanding of gay culture, it might have seemed like the character in the song walked into a bar with some macho types and was trying to sort out the vibe of the room. It could even have felt like a scene from a western due to the line I cased the joint / straining at the seams. But in reality, Halford's lyrics were about a man walking into a gay bar on New York's Fire Island, a popular LGBTQ haven off the south shore of Long Island, and checking out the action. "Straining at the seams" took on a different connotation especially when he seemingly hooked up with someone in the bar.
it feels like everything is designed to funnel money into antidepressant distributors these days
They're getting their return on investment after buying "our" politicians here in the States.
Actions speak louder than words.
Holy shit, it doesn't feel like that was eight years ago.
...and take a dump on Trump's.
No, Marjorie Taylor Greene is Nancy Mace's equal -- same mean-spirited, attention-whoring mindset.
I half-expected this to be in the Deep South, not a so-called "blue state".
Unfortunately, almost half of Minnesota's voters supported Trump, which kind of puts things in perspective.
Pathetic, and frankly her going along with it is not much better.
Agreed, but she is a politician, and that's what politicians often do.
If the Dems ever regain majorities in the House and Senate, they should introduce bill(s) to install these in the Capitol:
The resolution, which would prohibit members, officers and employees of the House from using single-sex facilities that correspond to their gender identity, comes just a week after Rep.-elect Sarah McBride (D-Del.) made history as the first openly transgender person elected to Congress.
If this bill passes, McBride should start relieving herself on Mace's desk.
Had the DNC not sabotaged Bernie Sanders' campaign in 2016, he may very well have been winding down his second term right now.
But, as always, the big money had to ruin it.
Give Discuit a try; the mods there are usually reasonable.
some things never change:
Bernie Sanders explains how modern Republicans win the American divide (2003)
"There is a push, I think just a societal norm that if somebody is your family that they are entitled to your time," said Calhoun, "and I think the answer is absolutely not."
This is a really good rule of thumb for dealing with toxic relatives in general.
with mods that allow their users to harass others
And the mods will even delete your comments if you push back at this.
Maybe on the surface, but it's blocked by this instance (and many others) for good reasons.
It's a snake pit.
speaking of which...
"How do we stop the Democrats from learning all the wrong lessons from this loss?"

> "When you elect a president of one party, often, states of the party that oppose that president have enormous ability to try to block or push back on directions that the president might want to go, especially if Congress can't function or pass legislation," said Barry Rabe, a public policy professor at the University of Michigan's Ford School and a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution.

> The special session responds to the public statements and proposals put forward by President-elect Trump and his advisors, and actions taken during his first term in office — an agenda that could erode essential freedoms and individual rights, including women's rights and LGBTQ+ rights. A special session allows for expedited action that will best protect California and its values from attacks. The special session will begin December 2, when the Legislature convenes.
