Who will win battle for GOP soul and How Will Progressives Succeed?
It may seem tempting to sit back, and as one long time Democrat put it to me, watch the GOP implode, but I’m not so sure that 1) that is what is going to happen, or 2) even with implosion, it won’t spell hardship for LGBT issues.
I Am Gay, Not Those Other Things You Say I Am!
This is a really wonderful blog post, and a perfect kick off to Pride Month. Â I don’t read Daniel Scogin’s blog on a regular basis, but this post is a must read!
