Read MoreBernie Sanders Puzzles Over Sex Work and Sex Trafficking Differences
Sex Work Is Not Sex Trafficking Amazing that Bernie Sanders would admit to having trouble distinguishing between sex work and sex trafficking, and would have to think about it before answering.

Threatened by Homosexuality CNN tells about how Super Happy Fun America, the organizers of an upcoming Straight Pride Parade to take place in Boston, Massachusetts next month, were threatened by envelopes filled with a suspicious substance.

And it’s so sad. She “really felt cute” in her crop top, and then she experienced…
Read MoreToday’s Slayings Are Like Yesterday’s Lynchings
Slayings and Lynchings These tragic slayings of black transgender women are like the lynchings in Mississippi. Then, the victims were black males. This time, the murderers target a different subset of the population, and a different gender. But the cause is the same: the inability of a group of privileged males to handle cultural change.…
