The Legend of Stalker Vance: What a Drag (Queen), Coward who didn't reenlist, or serve in Afghanistan (what a pitiable man)

Jumpin' J.D. Vance is a drag drag drag

"J.D. Vance is a phony, he's fake. I mean, he first says that Donald Trump is like Hitler, and now he's acting like he's Lincoln. The problem with JD Vance is he has no conviction, but I guess his running mate has 34." - Governor Andy Beshear of Kentucky

Okay first thing first.  Anyone who says using the picture of J.D. Vance dressed in drag is beneath us; is a bad faith actor who is trying to stem the surging Harris/Walz momentum.  

Second, to any Republican who smugly replies 'so much for the tolerant left', the Ghost of Karl Popper should appear to hit them in the head with a hammer.  The issue isn't our tolerance.  Wear whatever you want.  The problem is the complete Intolerance of the Right;  Trump and rightwing influencers have called for the eradication of Transpeople, repeatedly.

As to J.D. Vance, he's a shameless parasite who changes his persona more often than he reapplies his guy liner.

J.D. Vance is the lowest of the low.  After trashing poor white people in Appalachia he became a man who sold out everything, and everyone, and abandoned every principle he seemed to hold in order to have a shot at political power.  Vance is now leading the attack on Governor Walz which every conservative including Chickenhawks who never served a day are amplifying.  Worse Vance seems comfortable treating his wife and children like garbage, and eager to debase himself for Traitor Trump in an effort to appease his rabid base of racist garbage followers. 

Cowardly, J.D. Vance (aka Corporal James Hamel) who did not reenlist in the Marine Corps after his paltry 4 years of active duty were up, and didn't serve in Afghanistan at all, despite falsely claiming he answered his country's call for service is still attacking Vice President Walz's military service.  And because Trump and Vance are bereft of ideas and moral black holes, Vance thinks stalking President Harris from place to place is the way to run his campaign. 

Now, as to this picture... I don't want to hear any excuses about oh it's probably Halloween or oh it's a joke because you can tell how not made up to look like a women he is.  It isn't a joke.  Vance's heel turn isn't kayfabe it's designed to attract the vile weirdo rightwing terrorists and Genital Inspectors who want to monitor women's menstrual cycles and execute LGBTQ people.

Here at GuyLiner Airlines were guarantee we will:
A) Monitor the fertility of each and every little girl
B) Force her to have sex with you

These people who support Trump and Vance have been threatening for years to murder LGBTQ people.

  Republicans and their fanatical base of domestic terrorism allege anyone who dresses in drag is a pedophile.  They've stated Drag Shows are child abuse and grooming operations.  They've called Trans people mentally ill and said Trans people are the evil, criminals, and should be killed.  Elected Republicans in Congress like, Major Traitor Greene and Foghorn Kennedy have insulted Trans people during committee hearings to score political points.  And just last week,  Republicans insinuated that Kamala Harris wants "biological men" to beat up women because of the Olympic Boxing "controversy" involving the Algerian boxer Imane Khelif.

Right now, J.D. Vance and his campaign team (such as it is) are trying to figure out how to attack President Harris and Vice President Walz over this.  This is just simply outrageous. It's beyond IOKIYAR.  It's beyond mere hypocrisy.  The choice this November could not be more clear nor more stark;  Trump and Vance are cheap and tawdry, creepy criminal hypocrites, who will empower racists, fascist fundamentalists, weirdos, and the Plutocrats to tear down the United States and replace it with a cheap simulacrum of a Democratic Republic.  Harris and Walz are demonstrably Real Americans who speak towards reaching that more perfect Union.

Update:

It is now incontrovertible that J.D. Vance dressed and vamped in drag, as a second picture has been released.  This is just sad.  I think "Vance" is a pitiable man.  He's one of these lost young men searching for meaning, purpose, sense of self.  I knew a lot of these millennials who had watched Fight Club and American Pyscho and took Tyler Durden's basic nihilist philosophy and Patrick Batemen's sociopathy as guiding ideas.  Then 9/11 happened to them and they thought they would become real men (whatever that means) by joining the military.

If Vance wasn't set upon harming millions of Americans and engaged in a campaign of personal destruction against people who have done him no harm.  I'd feel the need to help him.  Instead we've got to crush him and Traitor DonOld Trump no matter how that shatters his psyche.

It will also be in keeping with rightwing America's homophobia and violent hatred of the other to destroy Vance over this...

President Joe Biden is fixing the DADT discharges, while Republicans plan to execute gay people

I knew one Marine who was discharged in 2002 under the Don't Ask Don't Tell (DADT) provision after "compromising" Polaroid(!) photos of them circulated amongst the unit.

Under President Barack Obama DADT, was repealed.  Now, under President Joe Biden the Secretary of Defense and the Military are undertaking the task of undoing the Bad Conduct and Dishonorable Discharges, foisted upon LGBTQ service members.

"As we mark the 12th anniversary of the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," I want to recognize the service members, DOD civilians and DOD families who served courageously and forged new pathways for future generations of our force. Their contributions have made our armed forces more representative of the American people and better equipped to tackle future challenges."

~ Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III, Sept. 20, 2023

Once again, I will point out the 2020 and 2024 vote for President Biden also means voting for the progressive cabinet members and progressive ideas advanced under the Executive branch of Government.  Only bad faith actors will continue to claim there is no difference between the parties and only fascists and bigots will vote for Traitor Trump.

Again as far as I know this has received scan attention from the Corporate Media.  Nor have I heard any terminally on-line lefty types giving credit to President Biden for this.  And again this Biden policy change will have a huge impact for those Veterans kicked out under DADT; including but not limited to access GI Bill benefits, healthcare coverage, job options, not to mention pride in their military service. 

Contrary to some of the vitriol directed at President Bill Clinton, Don't Ask Don't Tell was a radical first step in ending open discrimination against men and women in the military and American people in general in the 1990's.  Too anyone who might ask well why didn't they take it all the way can look at the current reactionary with hunt of Trans persons today for a parallel.  In fact if you ever want to know why some policy or some obvious wrong is codified into law can easily find the answer:  Republicans.

The Republican Party is wholly wedded to the ideology that Government is not supposed to help anyone.  to Republicans Government's power is destructive and Republicans want to use that destructive power to, well, destroy things.  That's all.

Terrorist Fist Jab

Republicans don't even want to help members of the military.  Look at Tommy PotatoBrain's recently ended blanket filibuster of all Officer promotions.  Look at video of Senator Ted Cruz and Steve Daines, and Josh Hawley hooting and hollering and fist-bumping after voting down healthcare coverage for Veterans sickened by toxic burn pits in Afghanistan and Iraq.  Republicans don't give a shit about Veterans, or anyone who doesn't have millions of dollars to give them in campaign contributions. 

There is always some group the Republicans target and vilify.  Currently it is Trans people.  But, homosexuals have always been a target of rightwing vitriol.  If Republicans get back in power in 2025, their bigoted base of domestic terrorists will feel absolutely embolden and will rightly believe they can attack anyone they identify as LGBTQ.  If you think those death camps, Traitor Trump, Steven Miller, and the Project 2025 people have planned for the homeless and "illegal immigrants" won't also be used for Trans people and then outspoken gays, and then anyone else the Right targets you're making a deadly mistake.

Perhaps, you're a white feminist who knows Republican Daddy won't come for you.  But, as the Texas abortion laws demonstrate; make a mistake, or step out of your very tightly defined box, and Republicans will slap you back into your place.

2024 is going to be the year of tightly constrained Rightwing violence.  This election could very well see rightwing domestic terrorist attacks and outright political violence to change the outcome of votes in certain communities.  If Republicans manage to pull off the Coup they tried on January 6th 2021, 2025 is going to see the One Day Dictatorship mimic the 1000 Year Reich.

Vote like your lives depend on it, because they do but, whatever happens be prepared to defend yourself because Republicans are banking on stealing the election and instituting death camps.

The Twilight of the St. Louis Cardinals and the Missouri War on LGBTQ community

Two Birds, One Bat 
IFKWIMAITYD

As Your Chicago Cubs, just won 2 out of 3 from the Milwaukee Brewers to close the division leading gap to 3 games, before losing two 1-run games in the bottom of the 9th to those dastardly Cincinnati Reds (Choke Cubs Choke, Hey Chicago waddaya say, the Cubs are gonna Choke today) we can at least take solace the St. Louis Cardinals are currently in Last Place in the Central Division.

The last time the Cardinals finished last in the division was 1990, which was the twilight of those great 1980's teams, managed by Whitey Herzog and backed by light-hitting, slick-fielding, fast teams of Ozzie Smith, Willie McGee, Vince Coleman, Terry Pendleton, and variety of other greats of the cocaine era.  Those teams made 3 World Series in the 1980's winning one in 1982 and probably denied a second series championship in 1985 in the infamous I-70 Series against KC.  In Game 6 the Cardinals suffered the vicissitudes of human error as Umpire Don Denkinger, who passed this May, made a wrong call and there was no official instant replay back in ancient 80's.  It's too bad The Blown Call was his legacy as he was apparently a stand up guy.

Since 2000, the Cardinals have made 16 post seasons (yes I know they are expanded) and have played in 4 World Series.  So this is uncharted (unchartered?) territory for the Mighty Red Birds.  But, Missouri has other much worse problems than a bad Baseball team. 

If you look at the classic Cardinals uniform it shows two birds on the bat.  If you know anything about Ornithology you might recognize red Cardinals are the male of the species.  So, the official uniform of the Missouri baseball team has a same-sex couple on front.  Will the MO Legislature order the Cardinals to change their uniforms or is this okay because baseball is for boys so boy birds are the only ones who can be displayed thus saving boys sports for boys?

Missouri, is plagued like so many states with Republicans.  And Republicans infest government for one purpose and one purpose only to make Americans lives worse in every conceivable way.  As you might know, Republicans passed a raft of anti-LGBTQ laws in the Republican test case for dehumanization and extermination of Americans.

Accountability would be nice

In February, a lying, deluded, paid propagandist named Jamie Reed alleged all sorts of medical malpractice and abuse of minors at Washington University in St. Louis and by inference declared this was standard practice in a hundred institutions Nationwide.   Buttressed by this carefully curated phony whistleblower, The Show Me State, decided scurrilous lies and innuendo was far more than enough to bring the awesome power of the state down upon people just trying to live their lives.  That infamous coward Josh Hawley proclaimed 'Accountability is Coming'.  

Except, as with all of these rightwing lies about LGBTQ persons and Teachers, this was a complete and utter fabrication.  A deliberate falsehood designed to get people to grant Republicans power to incarcerate and eliminate their ideological enemies.  Based on Jamie Reed's lies, Missouri Republicans passed the euphemistically titled SAFE Act which just made it past judicial injunction and as of September 1st denies Trans children medical care and criminalizes the providing Trans youth medical care.

Rightwing domestic terrorist attacks against the LGBTQ community are on the rise and Republicans plan to use governmental power at whatever level they control to kill them.  Understand the Republican Party is fully invested in lying and propaganda to maintain political power, but as they lose more and more elections, Republicans will transition to outright Fascist Violence following the well-worn model which presupposes their victims will be too cowed or too incredulous in believing it can happen here.  It's going to happen here, it's already happening here.

Be brave if you can, but be prepared.  Because once Republicans no longer see any hope in gerrymandering or voter suppression or the other tricks and chicanery they've engaged in to maintain power; Violence and murder will be the political weapons they use.

Brittney Griner shows how much Republicans hate black people and the LGBTQ community

“If I were, you know, being held in a — you know — these conditions looked horrible, by the way. I mean, she’s so big and tall… and she’s in literally — they look like they keep the prisoners in a cage. And so the conditions were obviously horrible, but if you told me, ‘We’re gonna release you for this guy,’ I would maybe say, ‘You know what, let me stay a bit, a little bit longer. Keep working on that negotiation. Let’s see if we can find something a little bit more level,'” - Republican Loser Kari Lake on the Louder Bigotry with Bigot Steven Crowder show, claims she would have turned down a chance at freedom.  We all know this is a venal lie as Lake makes this claim from the safety of her soft focus television studio but, it also highlights the despicable nature of Republican philosophy which is off-handedly cavalier with other peoples' lives.

So, Faux News abandoned the Railroad Union Busting Biden angle pretty quickly, 1) because Faux News loathes Unions and 2) they realize their reactive bigoted base really doesn't care about the contract issue.  But, Brittney Griner's release? Ho-Ho-Ho, that's the bloody racist red meat which the Republican Party feeds it's bigoted base of rabid rightwingers.

Thomas Hartmann read on air, the titles from every on-line rightwing rag which attacked Griner and President Biden.  Each article was worse than the last dripping with pure hatred and despicable vitriol.  One of the worst aspects of rightwing propaganda is how fervently they decide victories are actually defeats.  The response by Republicans and rightwingers to President Biden's successful diplomatic release of Brittney Griner is as bigoted as it is nonsensical.

First and foremost, this shows just how allied Republicans are to Russia and Vladimir Putin's monstrous regime.  Republicans see Russia as an ardent ally in the global contest to re-ensconce White Supremacy and fundamentalist bigotry into power.  If Traitor Trump was still in the White House, the 82nd Airborne would have landed in Kyiv and aided the FSB in capturing Zelenskiyy and conquering Ukraine.  But, fortunately, Joe Biden is President and he girded Europe into resisting Vladimir Putin's unlawful war of aggression into Ukraine.

But, more importantly, on the domestic front this whole incident shows the level of hatred Republicans have for black people, whom Republicans don't really consider to be Americans, and for the LGBTQ community, whom Republicans don't even consider to be human.

Republicans hate black people and LGBTQIA persons so much they would let any and all of them perish at the hands of a brutal dictator.  At home Republicans hate black people and LGBTQIA persons so much they are broadcasting calls for rightwing men to take guns and murder them daily.  Republicans are vile villains who have nothing to offer the American people but, hatred and fear.

So, remember Republicans are going to craft all manner of propaganda about the Brittney Griner issue because they see it as another avenue to glom aggrieved white working class men to them.  And it doesn't take much for Republicans to get their rightwing drones mad at Griner; she's black, gay, and far and away more athletic than they ever were and ever could possibly be.

But, don't be fooled 99.9% of rightwingers couldn't have told you who Viktor Bout was prior to the swap.  And I'm not worried about an International Arms Dealer going back to Russia and resuming his previous career.  It's a far different world from the one he left during his 12 year prison stay.  Bout can't simply reintegrate himself into his old networks and supply chains and Russia is engaged in an active large scale war not the phony peace of the 2000's.  So fearmongering Bout release will be nothing more than a repeat of the fear mongering for the 5 prisoners released from GITMO for Bowe Berghdal.

And of course rightwing liars are spamming every platform with Whatabout "ex-Marine" Paul Whelan? Fortunately, Whelan's family has been very honorable and rejoiced in Griner's release instead of feeding the rightwing narrative.

Republicans love when people are shot to death with AR15s (Club Q)

Matt Walsh and Chaya Raichik

They fucking love it.

A 22 year old right-winger with a history of domestic violence and bomb threats, went into Club Q, a renowned LGTBQ nightclub, armed with an AR15 and shot 30 people to pieces, murdering 5 until 2 incredibly brave people tackled him and stopped the latest act of rightwing domestic AR15 terrorism.

Whenever Lauren Boebert, Ted Cruz or any Republican you can think of hears of another mass shooting the first thing they do is find out who was murdered, once Republicans find out it's a group of people they hate like LGBTQ persons or Hispanic schoolchildren, Republicans give an ecstatic little cry of joy, then they type off a little missive of Thoughts&Prayers, then they get ready to cut another Faux News segment where they repeat CHICAGO CHICAGO CHICAGO to distract, and then Republicans go back to Fash Twitter to demonize LGTBQ people.

Then after cashing their latest check from the NRA and Gun Manufacturers Republicans will pose with guns in their Christmas Cards.

Meanwhile, Tucker Carlson, Matt Walsh, Ben SShaprio, Steven Crowder, Chaya Raichik (Libs of TikTok), and numerous other rightwing propagandists immediately return to demonizing LGTBQ people and stoking rage amongst their followers, whom they've also encouraged to arm themselves with military grade long guns.

I stated that Republicans and Rightwingers were coming to murder Us.  And it's here.  And they aren't going to stop.  Republicans and Rightwingers have declared War on numerous people in America.  Not rhetorical War but, an asymmetrical war where they incite their followers to commit acts of violence.  Republicans were hoping to win more elections and government positions so their paramilitary domestic terrorists could work hand-in-glove with official Law Enforcement but, what they will settle for is more 'lone wolf' mass shootings via stochastic terrorism which Republicans stoke.

Because you can't predict where the next act of Rightwing Domestic Terrorism will be but, you can fucking well guarantee it will happen.

Bathroom predators are predominantly white Republican and conservative men

Transgendered persons are, by far, the targets of insults, assaults, and victimization in bathrooms. Bullies have always recognized terrain suited to their vicious antics. Bathrooms have historically been one of their favored terrains for terrorizing their victims.

Republicans are bullies. Their entire governing style is to victimize those weaker than them. Their Bathroom Bigotry and Religious Restoration Laws are just the latest efforts to use the awesome power of the government to cement into law right-wing bigotry and advance the conservative values of Oppression, Intolerance, and Adulation of the Rich.

Conservatives demand a government which afflicts the afflicted and comforts the comfortable but, they also want free reign and legal cover to harm and oppress people themselves.

All of the Take Back the Country and Make America Great Again rhetoric thinly covers their anger that over the last 50 years the Federal Government has been aiding the poor, minorities, and marginalized segments of society. Aid which was meant exclusively for them!

Like most "Culture War" problems this is an issue which comes directly out of the sick and twisted minds of White Male Republican psyche. Once Republican take up an Oppressive Cause they will fight with every means at their disposal to ensure they make injustice legal and allow their right-wing drones the power to harass and torment those outside mainstream society.

White Male Republicans are forever terrorizing, tormenting, torturing, or sexually abusing people so they have concluded the rest of Society has the same perverted outlook as themselves.

As Republican Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert's recliner proved, "Bathroom Predators" are most often right-wing white males.

Back in his prep school days, just prior to being a Vietnam War Chickenhawk, 2012 Republican Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney beat up fellow students at his fancy prep school, whom he concluded were gay, "He can't look like that. That's wrong. Just look at him!" and decided to enforce right-wing law,

They came upon Lauber, tackled him and pinned him to the ground. As Lauber, his eyes filling with tears, screamed for help, Romney repeatedly clipped his hair with a pair of scissors.

White male conservative have been streaming into Target restrooms to prove that what's happening in their sick and twisted minds is happening in real life. Of course, since these white male conservative terrorists only find each other in the women's restrooms, I'm not sure what conclusion they reach?

But, it's not just white male conservatives who enforce Republican Oppression, listen to this duped and battered "christian" woman march around Target,

"It’s time to stand up and have a voice, instead of bowing to the homosexual, perverted agenda that’s taken over this nation!"

With this woman's manner of dress, diction, hair style and admission she has 12 kids it's obvious she's a member of the fanatically reactionary right-wing Quiverfull community and during her screed, she inadvertently lists whom she really hates; LGBTQ persons not so-called "bathroom predators".

A woman, who had cut her hair short and donated it to Locks for Love, a company which makes wigs for children cancer patients was confronted by a white male conservative in a Connecticut Walmart bathroom, "You're disgusting! You don't belong here!" The man screamed in erudite terms he culled from Donald Trump's magnificent press conference speeches, after concluding she must be a transgender person.

In Kentucky, another conservative man saw a woman with a short haircut, put on his Morality Enforcement Badge and beat her up for looking too masculine. The beaten up woman reported the man yelled at her he was going to 'beat her like the man she wants to be' and 'people like her make him hate the world'.

In Chicago a white man with a solid republican hair cut and proper masculine conservative clothing hid in a Jason's Deli restroom and choked an 8 year old girl unconscious until the girls mother and other customers tried to stop him. The white man then attacked officers after being arrested. Conservatives immediately began to lie about the incident because they have to, none of the bathroom predators are transgendered instead they are predominantly white conservative males.

These incidents are going to increase because the Republican Party is giving legal cover and tacit approval for their conservative bully-boys to form their own Vice Squads to keep the LGBTQ society in check. And they are gleefully rubbing their hands together at the fervent hope this will whip up their right-wing drones into a voting frenzy for the upcoming elections. The peevish, flabby jowled never-missed-a-meal, coke-nostril Republican Lt. Governor of Texas Dan Patrick adamantly believes Hillary Clinton will lose the 2016 Presidential Election by trying to stop Republicans from empowering white conservative male bathroom predators.

Because that is what's going on here. The people stalking and attacking people in bathrooms are all white conservative men and Republican Voters.

Rape-publicans, Bathrooms, and Bigotry

Ever since their defeat in the 2003 Lawerance v. Texas decision, which removed the ability of the right-wing religious bigots from breaking into peoples homes to tormet, beat, and arrest people for consensual relationships in the privacy of their own home, right-wing bigots have been searching for an avenue of attack.

The conservative movement believes it has hit upon an unbeatable legal strategy with their current crop of Bathroom crotch sniffing and Christian Bigotry Bills. By couching their bigotry in phrase sincere religious beliefs and euphemistically used title Privacy ,conservatives believe their Pro-Discrimination anti-transgender Bills would easily be signed into Law in states run by Republican Legislatures and Governors and survive challenges in the Right-Wing dominated SCOTUS.

Of course, while conservatives dominate gerrymandered and voter-suppressed States they don't control social media or society at large any longer and the backlash against Conservative Bigotry has been swift.

There are no credible reports of a Transgender person accosting someone in a bathroom. The laws in Tennessee, Mississippi, and North Carolina do not reference incidents or police reports because they do not exist. In fact, it's much more likely, a Republican Congressman like Dennis Hastert or Mark Foley or a Conservative blowhard like Rush Limbaugh or Ted Nugent, will rape your child than a transperson.

But, look at the way conservatives frame their talking points, for instance Curt Schilling Facebook post which cost him his job at ESPN. It's Rape and/or fear of Rape.

While an element of gay panic and hatred of the other comprise a significant part of these laws, there is the deep dark desire of Rape underlining these Republican laws.

Conservatives and Republicans are seemingly always a hair's-breadth away from forcing themselves onto young girls. It's why Republican officials are always talking about Rape because Rape is always on their mind. Republicans can't stop talking about how they want to break into bathrooms and rape young women.

Rape-Rape-Rape. It's the first thought of Rape-publicans when they wake up in the morning and their last thought at night. Rape-Rape-Rape. Thus, because projection is their strongest belief, Republicans believe that must be the case with the LGBTQ community.

The New Centurions (1970) by Joseph Wambaugh pretty much encapsulates the conservative view on LGBTQ persons. Wambaugh's books exude a reactionary ethos, especially, when he writes about liberals and race relations but, when he writes about the LGBTQ community, which he does extensively in all his books, it's with fascinated revulsion bordering on the homicidal.

"Did you guys hear how many marines Hollywood vice busted last weekend?" asked Simeone...
"What's happening in Hollywood?" asked Gant
"What always happens?" Said Simeone. "The joint is lousy with faggots. I hear they got twenty marines in fruit pinches last weekend. They're going to notify the general at Camp Pendleton."
"That pisses me off," said Gant. "I was in the corps but things were different in those days. Even marines are different now." (Ibid. 177-178)

Wambaugh devotes an entire chapter of his belief that gay and lesbian people are akin to hardened criminals,

"You know The Cave?" Gant asked Roy.
"The fruit joint on Main?"
"Yeah, but it's not just fruits. There's lesbians, sadists, masochists, hypes, whores flim flammers, paddy hustlers, hugger muggers, ex-cons of all descriptions, and anybody else with a kink of some kind or other." (Ibid. 174)

And

"It's a beautiful place," said Roy.
"The park? Oh, yeah. But it's full of faggots and thieves and assholes in general. No decent people dare hang around here after dark." said Ranatti. (Ibid. 189)

Towards the end of the chapter the Vice squad and uniformed backup raid The Cave. Wambaugh's phrasing is perhaps revealing, "he watched the blue wedge of bodies insert itself into the opening of the Cave." And "the cathartic blue wedge of policemen withdrew from the mouth of The Cave". Emphasis mine. Perhaps Wambaugh is being cute and having a chuckle at his clever phrasing or perhaps...

The only character in The New Centurions who shows a scintilla of humanity or respect for Civil Rights is "Roy Fehler",

Roy was not completely certain that he would like to receive an eighteen-month assignment to vice because he respected the privacy of others. He believed that this undercover surveillance smacked of fascism and he believed that people, damn it, were trustworthy and there were very few bad ones despite what cynical policemen said.

But, Roy the Liberal gets told off by Wambaugh in blackface and gets shot on two occassions, the last fatally to close the book.

But, foruntaely times have changed so much so that in the Cop Series Southland (2009-2013), which used portions of Wambaugh's books as source material, one of the main characters "John Cooper" is homosexual. The series does treat the character's sexual orientation as an intergral issue often leading to tension between partners and civilians on the street.

While, I could go further into Wambaugh and Reactionary Police Officers, that's a subset of this issue, and the Officers of Wambaugh's day are 2 or 3 generations removed from working the job.

What we are looking at with the Sincere Religious Belief Laws and Patriotic Bathroom Privacy Acts are hopefully the last gaps of the bigoted hateful right-wing. But, I don't believe so.

One would think small-government loving conservatives would be wary about ensconcing such far-reaching invasive laws into the hands of Government Officials, one would think that Libertarians, those haters of Government intrusiveness and the State, would be taking to the ramparts to decry such an expansion of the corrosive powers of the State, but libertarians have this odd way of justifying the use of force by the government against those they don't deem worthy of legal protection.

What these laws are designed to do is to feed the hatred which consumes the Right-Wing and to put fear into the LGBTQ community. To let them know that anyday, someone can complain about them and they are only free at the whim of the bigoted conservative/libertarian/right-wing community.
