A Promise to Our Friends and Allies

Well, another annual TRANSLESBIGAYAPALOOZA blogfest comes to an end with this post. Thank you, everyone, for reading and commenting all month long in such a supportive and enlightened manner.

And guess what! I have GOOD NEWS for all you friends and allies who have supported the LGBTQ+ community so well over the last few years.

After nearly a decade of the LGBTQ+ community being DISPLACED as the Anti-Christ, WE'RE BACK ON TOP, BABY!

But don't worry! If a natural disaster threatens your city, we'll be there to STOP IT! How, you ask? BEHOLD!

And yes, our Magic Rainbow Shield™ works on ANY kind of natural disaster!

The Magic Rainbow Shield™ is our UMBRELLA OF PROTECTION and we're only too happy to share it with our FRIENDS and ALLIES!

You're welcome!

A Beautiful Rainbow of Diversity!

But despite the incredible DIVERSITY of our LGBTQ+ community, you know there's ONE thing that we ALL love to do . . . .

Equal Time for You Men-Loving-Men Types

"Women, Women Who Love Women"

". . . are the happiest women in the world . . . ." Isn't that how the old Barbra Streisand song goes?

Well, it does in MY head! Screw what anyone else remembers.

Now let's hear it for Lez Girls!

Back in MY day, you only had to recruit ONE straight woman to get your toaster oven. I guess they've upped the ante now. Probably because SO MANY want to convert, it's hardly even a challenge anymore.

I've got MY merit badge, Sistahs! DO YOU???

The Culture Wars Are Not QUITE Over Yet

Today, three choice tidbits from the ongoing Culture Wars . . . .

First, a noted enemy of the LGBTQ+ community passed away just last year -- Joseph Nicolosi, creator and promoter of so-called "reparative therapy" or "ex-gay therapy." Our community has long fought against his erroneous and harmful theories, which are really just old-fashioned "repression" and "oppression" dressed up in fancy-schmancy pseudo-scientific bigotry.

I thought the following brilliant tweet very pointedly applied his simplistic solutions to his own situation!

Secondly, there's some notable candidates running in the US midterms!

You loved her on Sex and the City, now hopefully Cynthia Nixon will soon be Governor of New York!

And I heard about this great guy running for Governor of Maryland thanks to Frank at Reluctant Rebel. He's got one of the best and funniest campaign ads I've seen in a long time!

Thirdly, gay wedding cakes! Need I say more?

And here's how straight allies can help!

But *gasp* here's the worst cut of all!

Happy Purride!

Hello, everyone! Her Royal Highness the cat here with my ANNUAL PURRIDE POST!

We cats love anything to do with RAINBOWS. They're even MORE fun to play with than LASER POINTERS!

And we love to SUPPORT our LGBTQ+ humans, even if we don't ALWAYS do everything they want . . . .

Cats know how important it is to ALWAYS BE TRUE TO YOURSELF!

Even if your other cat relatives DON'T APPROVE.

Always remember, as a WISE HUMAN * once said:

[* Yes, yes, I know "wise human" is a contradiction in terms but, believe it or not, there ARE such beings, rare though they may be]

And no matter what ANYONE says:
