  1. François Legault has shown you who he is, repeatedly... believe him.

    The CAQ has been ANTI-LGBTQ from its inception and w/ this latest ban gender-inclusive French writing in government communication, the CAQ solidifies their ANTI-LGBTQ position:

  3. And way way down in the last para from the article:
    "75% of Canadian respondents backed same-sex unions, 4 points above the global average, while 70% supported the rights of same-sex couples to adopt, 7 points above the global average."

    Global: Canada was among the few countries in a large international survey where support for #LGBTQ2 rights and visibility appeared to register "precipitous drops," according to pollster Ipsos.

  4. "The Kootenai County District Court jury unanimously found Friday that Summer Bushnell defamed Post Falls resident Eric Posey when she posted a doctored video of his performance with a blurred spot that she claimed covered his “fully exposed genitals,” the Coeur d’Alene Press reported.

    In reality, the unedited video showed no indecent exposure, and prosecutors declined to file charges.

    “The judicial system did what needed to be done,” Posey said after the verdict.

    Jurors awarded Posey $926,000 in compensatory damages for defamation. Because Posey proved that Bushnell knew her allegations were false when she made them or that she made the accusations with reckless disregard for the truth, the jury awarded $250,000 in additional punitive damages.

    Posey, who uses the stage name Mona Liza Million, performed three times at the Pride in the Park celebration wearing a long-sleeve leotard, black shorts and tights, with a shiny metallic boa around his waist. He did not remove clothing.

    The Pride event made national news at the time — not because of Posey’s performances, but because 31 members of a white supremacist group called Patriot Front were arrested nearby and charged with conspiracy to riot."

  6. Several hundred schoolkids came through the Yardbird Suite the past three days for Jazzworks music workshops, directed by Fred Mack and featuring instruction from Aretha Tillotson & Joel Gray

    Seeing youth with a diversity of personal styles, backgrounds and identities come together over a shared love of making music was truly inspiring, particularly in a day in which we are seeing cowardly bullies 'n hypocrites encourage hostility towards "different" kids

    It's the Different kids who make history and create change. I'm proud to be part of an organization that supports youth choosing their identities, and actively provides them with the support and safety they need while they are becoming tomorrow's professional musicians

    BTW - Bowie attended the Yardbird Suite as a patron after his Glass Spider tour stop here. I'll tell you the story if you buy me a scotch
