THIS IS STRANGE
Seems that the Young PeopleTM don't care for the LGBTQ468WHODOWEAPPRECIATE community as much as they once did.
It’s disappointing news for the LGBTQ community as Pride month is celebrated across the US.
An alarming new statistic from the annual Accelerating Acceptance report finds that young Americans — generally regarded as the most socially tolerant generation — are less comfortable with LGBTQ people than in previous years.
The survey, produced by the Harris Poll in partnership with Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD), found that Americans aged 18 to 34 who say they are comfortable interacting with queer people fell from 53% in 2017 to 45% in 2018 — even among those whom the report considers “allies” to the LGBTQ community.
This was the only age group to show a decline in overall acceptance. Women had a sharper decline, falling from 64% to 52%, compared to the 5% decrease among men, from 40 to 35%.
Can't for the life of me figure out why. It just might have something to do with the fact that most people don't enjoy having their faces regularly shoved into an ideology.
Just a thought.

Yeppers. Nothing means more to us in Flyover Country than the approval of Famous People.
Alyssa Milano arrived ahead of Wednesday night’s first Democratic presidential primary debate — and Sen. Bernie Sanders is aggressively seeking her endorsement, The Post has learned.
Sanders has personally phoned Milano in a bid to win her backing, a source close to the “Charmed” actress said.
“Of all the Democratic candidates, the one pounding down her door the hardest is Bernie Sanders,” the source said.
Milano recently said she was “playing the field” of the 20-plus Democratic contenders, despite her friendship with the front-runner, former Vice President Joe Biden.

DROPPING THE MASK
CNN won't even pretend anymore.
It's hard today not to marvel at the casual cruelty of the Plessy decision. How could the court accept the transparent lie that blacks lived in separate but equal worlds with whites? And how could they give Constitutional sanction to a blatant display of racism?
You don't have to study history to answer those questions. Watch what happens this week when the US Supreme Court issues its decision on whether the Trump administration can add a question about citizenship to the 2020 census, some legal scholars and historians say.
"If they accept the census question, they are following the same pattern that the late-19th-century and 20th-century court made that was clearly intended to cement white rule," says Lawrence Goldstone, author of "Inherently Unequal: The Betrayal of Equal Rights by the Supreme Court, 1865-1903."

PANDER BEAR (ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION EDITION)
There's not a leftist issue in the world that Dances-with-Ethnicity won't back.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (Fake Indian-Mass.), a top tier 2020 candidate, on Tuesday joined fellow candidate Julián Castro in a call to decriminalize illegal border crossings.
Warren has yet to release a comprehensive immigration reform plan, but confirmed in a statement to HuffPost that she agrees with Castro, a former Housing and Urban Development Secretary.
“We should not be criminalizing mamas and babies trying to flee violence at home or trying to build a better future. We must pass comprehensive immigration reform that is in line with our values, creates a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants including our DREAMers, and protects our borders," Warren said in a statement to HuffPost.
