"37-year-old gay guy kissing his husband on stage next to Mr. Man Donald Trump?"

"Rush, I just got to tell you something. Never apologize, don’t ever." John, This might not come as a shock, but Rush Limbaugh and Donald Trump are absolutely terrified of Pete's candidacy. So Rush went on a homophobic tirade against Pete and then Donald Trump called him to say not to apologi…

Sign his card and leave him a note: John, did you see Pete's town-hall on CNN last night? He had an amazing moment where he called out Donald Trump and Rush Limbaugh for their sanctimonious commentary on his marriage, saying: "One thing about my marriage is it's never involved me having to se…

What pro-equality state legislatures can do

John, A quick case study for you. In Virginia, anti-equality forces held a super-majority in both chambers until 2017 (the same year Danica Roem became the first openly trans state legislator ever elected!). The super-majority used their power to pass a ban on marriage equality and other ext…
