Courage!

Sometime you find courage in ordinary people.

Angry mom goes viral after giving an anti-LGBTQ commissioner hell during a public meeting
"I've never been sexually assaulted at a drag show, but I have been in church. Twice!" she said, adding that the church "told me it was my fault."

A woman came to a board of trustees meeting and trounced conservative Christians after a county’s library director was driven from his job for refusing to take down a Pride display.

Maury County, Tennessee Library Director Zachary Fox resigned last week after getting pressured by a group of residents who said that the LGBTQ-themed books were inappropriate, according to WSMV-4. Fox said that his last day working would be tomorrow, October 28, but that he would stay until a replacement could be found.

“Coming to this decision has been incredibly difficult, but it is in the best interest of my family and my own health and well being,” he wrote.

Maury County Commissioner Aaron Miller – who runs the local organization Foundation for Liberty and Freedom – was at the center of the controversy, calling on Fox to resign.

“Foundation for Liberty and Freedom” reminds me of the phrase "Work makes one free" it is anything but liberty and freedom it is more like oppression and tyranny.

Last night the Maury County Board of Trustees held a meeting that got heated. And one woman – identified as Jessee Graham – is going viral for her righteously angry speech about the people who drove Fox from his job.

“Our town has never seen so much homophobic crap as we have since Miller came along,” Graham said. “These people have been with us this entire time and we have never had a problem with it. They have never done any of the vile and disgusting things that that man and his weird cronies have leaked out of their mouths.”

In five more days it will be the anniversary of Kristallnacht.

At a Transgender Day of Remembrance* once a rabbi brought a stained glass window pane and she told a story about Kristallnacht or the "Night of Broken Glass" she said that it wasn’t only the Jews the Nazi came after but also trans people, gays and lesbians, gypsies, and people with disabilities. That we share that common heritage. She said when she was bring the glass panel to the cracked, at first she was mortified that it cracked but the more she thought about it the more she thought that it tied us together. That the crack symbolized our common heritage on that night on November 9th in 1938.

Now we see not only a rise in anti-LGBTQ enmity we also see a rise anti-Semitism. Case in point Kanye (Ye) West and what happened outside Florida v. Georgia football game last Saturday.

Vote Tuesday and remember!
