Hoping to boost this thought for discussion: Just realizing something about the Department of Education reclasifying degrees. Others have pointed out that most of these R woman dominated fields, & R mostly mandated reporters. But I haven't seen discussion of most of these being a part of *unions*.

The National Park Service has removed "T" and all mention of transgender people from the Stonewall National Monument. Trans women were some of the most influential activists behind the Stonewall movement and what followed. 3 articles of clothing laws were why raids happened. Erasure.

“By the time of Stonewall...we had 50 to 60 gay groups in the country. A year later...1500.”
Before the 1960s, almost everything about living openly as a lesbian, gay, bisexual (LGB) person was illegal. The Stonewall Uprising on June 28, 1969 is a milestone in the quest for LGB civil rights and provided momentum for a movement.

When we Christians are more known for our support of presidents than we are for our support of the poor, the immigrant, the marginalized, and the oppressed, that is when we know we are following someone other than Jesus and we have a lot of repenting to do.

#SermonOnTheMount
In an interview with NPR, Evangelical Christian
leader Russell Moore said that multiple
pastors had told him disturbing stories about
their congregants being upset when they
read from the " Sermon on the Mount " in
which Jesus espoused the principles of
forgiveness and mercy that are central to
Christian doctrine.


"Multiple pastors tell me, essentially, the
same story about quoting Jesus in the Sermon
on the Mount - [and] to have someone come
up after to say, 'Where did you get those
liberal talking points?"


Moore added: "And what was alarming to
me is that in most of these scenarios, when
the pastor would say, I'm literally quoting
Jesus Christ,' the response would be, Yes,
but that doesn't work anymore. That's weak.'"
