Chicago Mayor Jane Byrne issued a Gay Pride Parade proclamation in 1981.

Mayor Harold Washington, spoke at the Chicago Pride rally after the parade in 1986.

-According to LGBT historian Sukie de la Croix
1973 🔥🏳️‍🌈Seattle City Councilmember Jeanette Williams introduced the city's Fair Employment Practices Ordinance that would prohibit job discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.

Williams gradually garnered sufficient support and the new ordinance was passed 8 to 1.
Seattle Pride Week was growing larger and better attended, culminating in the 1st Gay Pride March in 1977. 🏳️‍🌈

Mayor Uhlman, encouraged by Charlie Brydon, commemorated the parade with a historic first, officially declaring June 25 to July 1 Gay Pride 🏳️‍🌈 Week in Seattle.

I have a few things to say about this piece that just dropped...

Why the #Bernie Movement Must Crush #BetoORourke
nymag.com/intelligencer/…
The insistence by white male writers that there is a two-white-man race out there between Bernie & Beto is so deeply, stunningly misogynist, it takes my breath away.

How is it POSSIBLE that these folks missed the blue wave which was fundamentally female--driven by women voters?
Not just driven by women voters, but driven by women candidates. Left-leaning women candidates, including WOC who ousted long-time older white male incumbents like....Bernie Sanders.

How is anyone missing this fact?
It's a major reason why Sanders' numbers have plummeted.

Title: URGENT: Kavanaugh Finances

To The Editor:

How did Brett Kavanaugh, who lived for a decade above his means, swimming in massive credit card debt, manage to get back in black in a single year?

The relentlessness of passing over superb women with strong credentials & election histories in favor of whatever man is a headline at a moment is exhausting.

Two months ago it was Avenatti. Now it's O'Rourke.

Bypassing the majority of Americans--women--is a national disgrace.
O'Rourke is fine. He is not, Harris, Gillibrand or Klobuchar.

▪Gillibrand is Congress' leader on women's rights & sexual assault victims.
▪Harris set NN2018 on fire with her speeches reclaiming identity politics.
▪ Klobuchar highlighted #Kavanaugh's unfitness for SCOTUS.
Americans MUST stop looking past women to find some man, any man to supplant them.

It took THIRTY YEARS of incredibly hard work for @HillaryClinton to get to run for POTUS. The rules for women are so different. No one sees a woman give a single speech and says "president!"

#Kavanaugh REALITY CHECK:

Nominated by a president who may be guilty of federal crimes.

Credibly accused of sexual assault by multiple women.

Repeatedly and demonstrably lied under oath.

Gave unhinged, belligerent, conspiratorial testimony.

AND NOT ONE REPUBLICAN VOTED NO.
Here's a useful thread about why #Kavanaugh's outrageous demeanor is disqualifying:
If you want to understand why I haven't joined the pro-Flake chorus, read this and understand that #Kavanaugh may likely end up on the Supreme Court.

So I have things to say about internalized misogyny and evangelical mindsets. Obviously, as a man, I only have direct personal experience with the latter. But I've seen them both play out in one of the people I care about most: my mother. And her support of Brett #Kavanaugh.
I'm thinking about this now because my mother is a classic evangelical Christian: a very nice person with very problematic beliefs. Conservative without being a fundamentalist weirdo, doesn't "like" Trump but voted for him, thinks gay people are mentally ill and in sin, etc.
My family is deeply religious and heavily involved in the church. We went every Sunday, to both services. My mother and father both, at varying points, served on pastoral staff temporarily after a pastor suddenly left. They were close friends with all the pastors and elders.

Bernie Sanders is a progressive? Socialist?

He's a Republican Socialist based on his votes.

A thread on his record

Berniecare raised taxes on poor, working poor, middle class, upper class and businesses
