Michael Sam and two of the most significant advances in LGBTQ Rights.

And that’s why I believe these two events, an NFL draft pick and a celebratory kiss between boyfriends are two of the most important events for America’s LGBTQ Rights in the recent past.

Fear mongering and Homosexuality

Fear mongering and Homosexuality

If the State has an interest in maintaining birth rates (and I’m not entirely certain that it does) it can better serve that end by putting all of the focus on improving there economy, raising wages and providing adequate services to help families.
