Trump’s illusory mandate
Trans folk are the canaries in the coal mine Just because our country is about to be overrun by a crazed gang of ignorant hooligans is no reason to be unpleasant.
On the other hand, we need to put down our smartphones occasionally and get some exercise. We don’t have to be as nasty as Trump henchmen like Steve Bannon and Stephen Miller to organize a broad-based resistance to fascism.
We need only remember our brave ancestors. When televangelist Kenneth Copeland said after the election, “No more rainbow flags,” he was asserting a false narrative that the election results authorized Christian supremacy, in violation of the Establishment Clause.
And Republicans call Democrats out of touch. Set aside the fact that Copeland’s version of Christianity bears little resemblance to Gospel teachings.
