This
is what I did with my Sunday the last week of august in 91 degree
weather in Washington DC . I got up early and boarded a bus full of
men and women to represent Gays Against Guns .. Yes I was
campaigning. I was role modeling an engage politician who acts rather
than remains silent on things he believes in . I must tell you that
wearing all white and covering myself with a veil was a profoundly
moving experience for me
I carried the sign bearing the name (Jesse
Childress) of an active duty soldier 29 years old killed when he he
threw himself over the body of a woman soldier in the movie theater n
aurora when the mass killer with an assault weapon in his hands
attacked . I am still grieving over what happened in Orlando .many of
you know I had very successful clubs with the best dj's for dancing
spinning.in the 80's My clubs were alway gay at their core but always
open to people who just wanted to have fun and dance and maybe make
out ..we were all sexual orientations and gender expressions .. so
PULSE I still have not recovered from the deep assault on who we are
by a person who should never have been allowed to buy a gun, I do not
want to hear of one more death by gun violence committed by a person
who would never have had a gun in their hands..including bad cops. I
am grateful to my children who organized Gays Against Guns and to
Tigger Ferguson for conceptualizing the "Human Beings"
shrouded figures all in white and silent bearing witness to a person
killed by a gun that is marketed for profit and sells a masculinity
that is brutal even when deranged
yes
you can help me by voting on September 13

DOCTOR DOCTOR .. DEALER DEALER just what was DT on at the first debate?????
Yes I DID watch the debate between the seemingly coked up on something DT and the unflappable, on point come insult or outrageous lies HRC... here is my pop culture reaction ...as cheesey as it may be.. Oh One question: regardless of how you FEEL about HRC, do you really want the twitching, unable to respond coherently to a question DT picking Supreme Court judges or deciding how and when to use nuclear weapons .. remember not 4 years of a Presidential term but more likely 20-30 years of rulings.. (Think: Citizens United) .... so here is a song I dedicate to Middle America who made it such a big hit..
