My Gay City News piece on passing of Ronnie Eldridge: "When someone dies at 95 we’re usually expecting it. But Eldridge’s sudden death sparked a lot of grief for someone who was so loved and who gave so much love to her family, friends, city, and country." gaycitynews.com/ronnie-eldridg…

@implausibleblog Thanks for standing up, Mr. Polanski. Trans people are the most scapegoated in the world these days--attacked by small-minded bigots for political gain. The violence to which they are being subjected is unconscionable.

Zack Polanski at Trans Mission tonight,
"Are you ready to make hope normal again?"
"For hope to defeat hate?"
"Are you ready to celebrate trans joy?"
"I'm a politicians and I want to say on behalf of all politicians, I'm sorry, we're all let you down"
"So tonight, let's be as clear as we possibly can"
"Trans rights are human rights"
"Trans men are men, trans women are women"
"And non-binary people exist"
"Politicians have tried to blame, tried to distracted"
"Tonight I am here to say, we will not blame, we will not be distracted"
"As a gay man I know when they come for one of us they come for all of us, and we will all stand together"

On this week's GAY USA show: AIDS activists protested Trump's drastic cuts to the PEPFAR program in the Capitol's Cannon Building Rotunda. More than 200,000 people who were receiving HIV drugs under the program internationally have died in the last year. youtube.com/watch?v=Tylw24…

@PeterTatchell Three down but over 100 to go. The "Kill the Gays" bill passed almost unanimously.

Uganda: Three homophobic politicians booted out
Three anti-LGBT+ politicians, who were architects of the ‘Kill the Gays’ law, have lost their seats in Uganda’s elections
This is a significant rebuke to the politics of hate. BRAVO!

@galeabrewer Ronnie was the greatest--an activist on a wide range of progressive social justice issues but people forget she was the go-to person on gay issues in the 2nd Lindsay administration in 1970--less than a year after the Stonewall Rebellion.

@SecWar You don't even honor the legal name of your department. PS: Scouting America will still welcome trans youth. And since they welcome all genders anyway there is no problem. advocate.com/politics/natio…

@NicolasOwen1606 @RepJerryNadler There is no federal law against the Rainbow Flag. Trump stole it on a personal, bigoted whim.
English

@RepJerryNadler They can still have the flags inside the museum. They have to follow the federal laws like everyone else.
English

This is another disgusting example of the Trump Administration's effort to erase the LGBTQ+ community.
Removing the Pride flag will not make us forget the legacy of Stonewall.
I fought for Stonewall to become designated as a National Monument and I will fight to see that the Pride flag is raised again.

BREAKING: The Trump administration removed a large Rainbow Flag from a flagpole at the Stonewall National Monument, the National Park Service confirmed to Gay City News on Feb. 9. gaycitynews.com/trump-rainbow-…
English

@erpickard @RepJerryNadler The ONLY reason this was made a national monument is because it is the historic site of the 1969 Stonewall Rebellion that sparked the modern LGBTQ movement. Park Service was telling the story of the Rebellion until Trump's destructive second term vs. LGBTQ and people of color.
English

@RepJerryNadler Thank you president Trump ! This is a national park..not a place to recognize a very small group of minorities who are just feel they are different???
English

@RepJerryNadler I worked with you to secure the monument designation for Stonewall. But under a fascist regime federal control is intolerable. We need you to join with us in rescinding the designation and put our historic site back under control of the City. Can't wait 3 years for Trump to go.

NYC appears to be unraveling faster than expected under Mayor Mamdani as he struggles with his first major crisis during a brutal cold snap. With garbage piling up, celebrities blasting city leadership, and over a dozen New Yorkers dead, serious questions are mounting about the response. @LawrenceBJones3 joins us TONIGHT on Hannity to react
English

@NYCMayor This is wonderful, but I imagine some shitbird performative suicide case is going to ruin it for everybody in short order, like every tall building or structure with a wonderful view.
English

@cboston206 @NYCMayor Mayor Bill de Blasio did the re-naming at a ceremony attended by former Mayor Dinkins and it was well-deserved.
