Growing up, learning about history and the people who made horrific decisions, there's an innocence about it, especially at that age. But Jesus Christ if the last ten years answered that question. Future generations will mock today's society and we totally deserve it.

The same cover image of the article, with a red balloon coming out of a storm drain and the "You'll float too!" speech bubble. But this is on the actual article page, and below it is the caption:

A red balloon tied to a storm drain at Falls Village Shopping Center in Raleigh, where Spirit Yoga & Fitness plans to open by January 2027. *Raleighwood Cinema Grill*

A screenshot from the Raleighwood Cinema Grill Facebook page I found after googling he business. Shows a post from November 14, 2020, saying "When the musics over, turn out the lights!...

Andy Beshear has an entire chapter in his new book about backing the LGBTQ community and it's worth a read. He talks about how the anti-trans ads were tested in KY during his election and how vetoing anti-trans legislation didn't hurt his reelection campaign.
However the anti-trans ads had less to do with Kentucky and more to do with the fact that we were in an election. Terry Schilling, the head of the APP, decided to test the ads in our election to determine whether or not the issue could win votes for the Republican Party. Earlier in the summer of 2019, Scholling had partnered with a behavioral science firm to try to find a wedge issue that resonated with suburban voters. That's right. The anti-trans ads did not come out of some firmly held conviction but was a purely political stance. Their research landed on trans athletes, specifically trans women, competing in women's sports. They tested their theory in the 2019 Kentucky gubernatorial general election. Although I won, APP considered their test successful, because their research showed the ads delivered thirteen thousand votes for Trump Lite, which made the race tighter than anticipated.You might hask how, in this political climate, I was reelected after vetoing the anti-trans bill. Because people respect authentic faith. The day I vetoed it, I explained my why. I said I believe all children are children of God and that I don't want people picking on these kids. I then countered their anti-trans ads with commercials talking about good jobs, healthcare, roads and bridges, public education, and public safety. The result? The biggest win of my career. So don't tell me the Democratic Party should stop fighting for the rights of all people. Just explain your authentic why, and then get back to focusing on issues that touch all our lives on a daily basis.
