“I will not resign,” Vaughn texted. “I am 100% self-funded and elected by the people.”

This is related to the story I posted the other day, NJ city councilor goes on unhinged 10-minute anti-gay tirade during coronavirus meeting.

What a raging bigoted, gaping asshole she is! Anyone, anyone still using "preference" in regards to sexual orientation is woefully uneducated.

1. The Q idiots are out in force cheering her on

To bad the party can’t boot this bigot.

3. Can they boot her? I have no clue.

8. I wonder if she could be recalled by the voters. I don't know the laws in her state. n/t

2. I am ashamed to say that the POS is an African-American Democrat, WTF

4. "Personal preferences". You know, like what color curtains.

5. Yes. Like making the carpet match the drapes.

That personal preference.

9. She should switch to homosexual since she thinks it is a personal preference . . . nt

7. One hopes that there is some way to remove her

or at least that she has very little time left in her term and the voters can throw her out.

10. And now she wants Harrison censured

Vaughn avoided a censure Tuesday night after telling councilman Harrison to suck Gusciora's "d**k," calling the mayor a "pedophile" and claiming he runs "young boys" through City Hall.

She also went low on Harrison, calling his mom a "whore" and suggesting his father is a deadbeat.

Now she wants Harrison censured for the "indecorous" comments he made on the call, in a move that appears as payback.

Harrison told The Trentoian that Vaughn's push to have him admonished by the legislative body shows her apology Wednesday night was "disingenuous" and will only bring "more negativity" to a city that has been in the national headlines.

12. WOW!

What a piece of shit she is!

[Celerity]

14. she would fit in great with the two POS South Bend raging homophobic A-A councilmen

who were so beloved (or at least pushed out there for hit jobs) by Buttigieg opponents of all stripes.

11. Anyone, anyone still using "preference" in regards to sexual orientation is woefully uneducated.

Sexual orientation is even starting to lose favor for describing a person's attraction to others. In the mental health profession, Attraction is starting to replace sexual orientation as the term to describe who people are attracted to romantically/sexually.

13. Do you have any sources for this?

I'd be curious to read as to why.

[Caliman73]

16. I had a couple, but cannot locate them.

I am taking a course on sex therapy and read a couple of papers using attraction in lieu of orientation, but it was a couple of weeks ago. I can dm you as I find them.

I did not necessarily agree with the reason for the change but thought it interesting that this was being discussed in terms of sex therapy.

18. Thanks!

I'd love to see them if you come across them again,

[Celerity]

15. attraction sounds like something that can be changed, I do not like this term nt

[Caliman73]

17. Possibly, but then so does orientation.

I think it may have something to do with fluidity and how people distinguish between gender, sexuality, and who they find sexually and romantically appealing.

As I told Ageis, I had a few articles that I am looking for that I read for a class.
