I just don't get it. The Sydney Australia LGBTQ+ Mardi Gras celebration is televised nationally and is seen by most people as just a bit of fun (with roots in horrible treatment and discrimination). So a bit of the opening celebration had people in drag, what's the big deal? 

Traditional values like family? No one else's orientation has anything to do with my family. Violence against women is a far more important attack on family values.

How's that mass migration working out on this front for women in Europe?

According to Article 6 of the Olympic Charter, the Olympic Games are “competitions between athletes in individual or team events and not between countries.”

I keep forgetting that you all keep telling anyone that you all can that Trump is the second coming of Hitler, but worse this time.

That is why he was shot.  You'll get him next time, I'm sure.

That would make him a martyr. Instead he needs to embarrass himself and destroy his legacy. The best way to do that: let him speak.

And now we return you to the Paris Olympics thread, which is already in progress.

Fuck the Olympics.  Steph Curry and Steve Kerr of the Warriors got political during their Olympic press conference and endorsed Kamala Harris.  They represent the whole United States over there not the DNC.

He should'a said, I'm just here to represent the United States in the Olympics, we can talk about this some other time, now is not the place.

The air conditioning thing.  We do not approve and will not enable.  BYOA/C.  Really ?  Those little units are totally inefficient and will use the same or more electricity than an integrated HVAC system with fewer users.  It also puts those without A/ C at a real disadvantage in competition.  I was under the impression that heat causes more harm than cold.  Isn't that what all this Global Warming stuff is abut ?  So make the guests, the athletes, suffer and risk their personal health ?

OK, boss.  Have at it.  This was just one more reason to diss this whole thing, imho.

Boycotting the games because the French didn't supply AC seems reasonable... from the guy who said "Everything is too political". 

You're spiraling.

An individual or two says something... and you respond with "Fuck the Olympics".    Have you listened to his "endorsement"?  He was answering a question.  Should he say "I'm not gonna answer you...because I represent Kurt and he might be upset"?
