STONEWALL UPRISING

~HONORING THOSE BRAVE SOULS WHO CAME BEFORE ME~

I was a teenager at this time.

I was barely 18 going on 19.

I wasn’t sure about my sexuality yet I knew I was different. I was living in Puerto Rico and cut away from these happenings in New York.

With time, I have come to learn about the importance of this uprising and I honor those who came before me and cleared the way that allowed me to accept and cherish my sexuality and live a fulfilling life, the way I am …

for I was born this way!

Forty-eight years ago today, New York City police began harassing LGBTQ patrons of the Stonewall Inn simply for congregating, those patrons decided they’d had enough.

~Human Rights Campaign~

The Stonewall Riots (also referred to as the Stonewall Uprising or the Stonewall Rebellion) were a series of spontaneous, violent demonstrations by members of the gay (LGBT) community against a police raid that took place in the early morning hours of June 28, 1969, at the Stonewall Inn, located in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City.

They are widely considered to constitute the single most important event leading to the gay liberation movement and the modern fight for LGBT rights in the United States.

Keith Olbermann, #91 …. “😳 …. Why Are We Appeasing Drumpf? …. There’s plenty of ‘fault’ to share 😳 …. “!!

~~June 28, 2017~~ 

APPEASEMENT

“Let the country burn now rather than turn the fire out now!”

~DEFINITION~

To make concessions to (someone, such as an aggressor or a critic) often at the sacrifice of principles

Synonyms
conciliation, placation, concession, pacification, propitiation, reconciliation; fence-mending

~Wikipedia~

There’s no reason to continue on the bandwagon of appeasing this ‘little, orange man-child‘.

It’s time to stand up and call things are they are.

No more alternate facts, no more alternate universe.

The emperor is indeed naked and we all see it. 

The nation, Republican legislators, the sycophantic base, the elected Democrats, the media and some others may be added.

There are secondary gains for those who hold this position. The country is burning and they are waiting for a better position down the road.

“Resist … because these people are not going to do it for you!”

I feel this is important information about what is happening in the Republican Administration lead by Drumpf and what we need to be aware of.

Keith Olbermann series called “The Resistance” continues.

He has posted installment #91.

The video speaks for itself.

If this resonates with you, good.

If it doesn’t, just scroll away to the next blog.

Thank you!

Ricky Martin planning ‘massive’ wedding in Puerto Rico

OMG!! My Ricky is getting married!! ❤️❤️ … congratulations!!

Repeating Islands

A report by Derrick Brayson Taylor for Page Six.

Ricky Martin is dreaming of a big wedding to fiancé Jwan Yosef.

“It’s going to be a big event,” he shared with E! News. “I want something massive. I for sure want to get married in Puerto Rico. That is something that has to happen.”

Martin, 45, and Yosef, 32, got engaged in late 2016.

With their international backgrounds, the party just may turn global.

“He’s from Sweden and some of his relatives are from Syria so we’re going to do something international,” Martin added. “We’ll see what happens.”

While the wedding will surely be an event to remember, it also means the preparation is a lot to handle.

“Everyone is talking about the wedding but nobody is talking about the planning of the wedding because it’s so difficult,” he quipped. “I didn’t know it was complicated to…

I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For

Amazing memories! ❤️

Live & Learn

Bono: “We love America. I think this is why you say we are allowed to talk about America. We come here like Pilgrims in some sense – – America is the promised land and I feel like an annoying fan sometimes following America into the bathroom with the liner notes … “you didn’t play the declaration of independence” – – I’m that guy, we’re that group. We love this country. And we love the landscape and it’s not just the physical landscape, its the psychological landscape, it’s a spiritual landscape…” (May, 2017)

“I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For” was released in 1985 (32 years ago! Wow!).  It was won the Grammy Award for the Song of the Year as did the Album for the Album of the Year.

McConnell And Company … Our Executioners

“The greed of the elected representatives is far stronger than our best interests.” …. in a nut-shell! 😡

Filosofa's Word

I have only one word to define the GOP senators who are in support of a health care bill that would be disastrous to ALL of us who do not have six figures in our bank accounts:  BASTARDS!

The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released their preliminary analysis that the senate bill would only rob 22,000 citizens from having adequate medical coverage, some 1,000 fewer than the House bill that was passed last month.  Republican senators are patting themselves on the back for this.  22,000 vs. 23,000 … no matter … either way it is an abomination!  Even robbing 1,000 people of the right to live is an abomination.

As everybody who reads this blog is aware, I did not vote for Trump and cannot stand the ‘man’ and his sleazy, lying ways.  But those poor suckers who did vote for him did so, at least in part, because he promised…
