Seriously, it has come to the time in our country's history to extend the full force of the 14th Amendment to the GLBT people of our nation.

BTW my friend Dorothy has clued me in on the culture of the Flight Attendants and how they fight for fair wages and good working conditions and .... who they are dating. I say "None of my business!!"

Because it is not about sex. It is about a loving precious relationship.

They're emboldening terrorists or communists or invaders from Tralfamadore, or pod people bent on our destruction.

Yes...2 good looking females.

How would two, not so hot females have played?

Or 2 guys?

Then we'd see how far we've evolved.
