She was 16 and he was twice her age. He raped her. She became pregnant. He sued for custody. He got 50/50. He recently sued for full custody & won because she gave daughter a cell phone and she is required to pay child support.
wbrz.com/news/investiga…
She reported the rape. He bragged he had connections. Clearly, he does and there is a whole lot of corruption in that Louisiana Parish where Ponchatoula is.
Judge Jeffrey Cashe is the judge who took away her custody and ordered the child support payments. Of course, he is a Republican Image

In 1999, Paul Weyrich wrote an Open Letter to Conservatives acknowledging they had lost the culture war and admitting the majority of Americans do not agree with them.
nationalcenter.org/ncppr/1999/02/…
It is still true. We have won the culture war. Most Americans support gay rights, marriage, and choice, yet, the extremist minority is likely to win control of our government - and solidify their control through voter suppression and the baked-in minority rule of Constitution.
That's because they had leaders who explained to their voters that it takes time, work, and investment from the ground up to win. They didn't have their own legislators attacking their leadership demanding Executive Orders Now while doing nothing in Congress.

In the town where I went to high school, there was a guy in his 50s who was gay and who wore women's clothes all the time. However, unlike media representations, he was a dowdy dresser who wore mostly housedresses and muumuus, flat shoes, & no makeup, etc.
From what I have been told, he always wore women's clothes, even in high school (long before I was born.) I wonder how different he might have been if he were born in say 2000. Perhaps he might have changed his name and pronouns.

I won't say that town was the most accepting
but there was a gay man who taught elementary school and directed the Baptist choir and he retired when I was in sixth grade after teaching 35 years. He was openly gay and no one thought too much about it.

If you don't mind, I would like to share a theory about the widening gap between the Democrats and the Republicans.
Republicans distrust government and like to feel smarter than their politicians. So they vote for contemptible specimens like MTG & Trump, people they can laugh at the politician while loving how we are outraged.
Democrats want government to work so they are comfortable, even excited by, politicians that seem smarter than them. The want competence and excellence.

My sister lost her son in his twenties. One of my nieces lost her 8 month old to SIDS, another lost her son in a car accident. My sister mourned her son every day until her death, so much one of her other sons felt slighted. My nieces mourn their children daily.
My niece lives very near where the accident took place about 14 years ago. There are fresh flowers marking that spot that she keeps replacing. When something happens, she notes how old he would be now. His sisters mourn him as well and write to him on his FB page.
My niece who lost her daughter to SIDS remembers her and also remarks how old she would be. She would have been the eldest child so her younger sisters also talk about her even though they never were in the world when she was. I remember finding a pic of my mom holding her.

It's my firm conviction that the reason so many people on the left were disappointed in Obama is their inability to see him as he was and not as their Black Panther Archetype. I remember discussing Obama vs. Hillary in 2008 and pointing out how much more left she was than he was.
I was going down the issues and my colleague said, "But Obama has to run as a centrist to get the votes. If he ran on what he really believed, they would call him an angry Black man and he would never get the votes." I asked to clarify, if she meant that he supported progressive
policies that he never mentioned and never talked about but pretended otherwise just to get elected? Was he really a closet socialist? She was certain of it. I asked whether it might be racist to see him differently than he described himself and she assured me otherwise
