Stop Harassing Gay People

We do not support the unwise, unfair, and unwarranted harassment and hatred of persons who are homosexuals. We strongly object to MAGA Republicans who want laws that discriminate against LGBTQ persons.

If your outdated and mean religion encourages you to to hate people you don't even know, and waste time in your petty minds with thinking all the time about the private sexual activities of other adults... that's another good reason to remove the mental curses of religion from your life. Or, just from common sense: mind your own business. However, pedophile perverts like some Catholic priests or Donald Trump do deserve some serious legal oversight.

OK, say your personal preference is straight monogamous occasional heterosexual sex play/love. So your very uncomfortable, for unconscious reasons, around gay people. So What!

I don't harass vegetarians because I like Kung Pao chicken.

I don't hate short fat people because I am tall and skinny.

I don't despise Afro Hair because I am a bald old white guy.

I don't like red MAGA caps, but I don't start fist-fights with selfish jerks.

I don't hate Mexican and Latino Immigrants because my grandparents came from Italy and Germany. [I grew up in the Bandini Barrio in ELA.]


Please stop thinking so often and so emotionally about the sexual acts and preferences of other adults. It is a form of obsessive mismanagement of yourself.

If you are terribly concerned and riled up about the private sexual organs of other adults --- your mentally sick.

Leaving Some Foot Prints


"The Edwardian Apostles [an advanced and select discussion group at Cambridge University in England in 1905] were ambitious men who wanted their work to endure in memory. They even had a code-word, 'footprints', for the guiding-marks which they hoped to leave for posterity. The best test of the value of work, they believed, is that it continues to please or impress future ages. Bertrand Russell once recounted to G. H. Hardy a distressing dream in which he stood among the book stacks of Cambridge University two centuries in the future. A librarian was winnowing the shelves, taking down books in turn, glancing at them, restoring them to their places or dumping them into an enormous bucket. Finally, he reached three volumes which Russell recognized as the last surviving copy of his Principia Mathematica. He took down one of the volumes, turned over a few pages, seemed puzzled by what he saw, shut the volume, balanced it in his hand and hesitated: Russell presumably awoke with a shuddering cry, for the devaluation of their work, or the absence of footprints, was the Apostles' nightmare."

The United States needs to intensify its implementation of solar energy electrical power production as have Germany and China.  The near future is obvious!
