One thing I’m certain of, I’m very happy as I’ve gotten older Wikipedia came along. I’m always finding myself clueless with the seemingly de rigeur *new* letters to add to the end of all this LGBTEIEIO stuff.
Most startling to me is our legislatures – nevermind courts – falling all over themselves recognizing heretofore unknown *rights* in spite of those old-fogey enumerated powers clauses everybody at the public fisc trough feeds from.
Transgenderism I looked up a couple of years ago. And only last week I had to Wiki “Pansexual” – and nope, nothing to do with either shepherds or flocks as I halfway expected. Texas of all places may be the first state to … oh I dunno. In case you’re unfamiliar LB (and I just know you’re as keen to keep current as I am, meet Mary Gonzales;
Fifty-eight you now tell me. Well … I give up … I’m going back to just the old timey singular Queer.
Mind – and it’s important – for *descriptive purposes only. Where my use of “I’m going back to” meaning solely, I’m not gonna be bothering to read & trying to remember fifty-eight distinctive Queeritives.
Re-reading the article LB brought up a recollection of an older D&N post. Just the photo David posted along with his thoughts ought to, I think, be enough to convey my thinking on all this stuff;
God this has been a helluva June. And, oddly enough (can I still even type “oddly”[?) August is regularly spoken of in the US as being the “hottest month” (I heard a couple of tweens saying “hottest” aloud so I suppose saying that is still allowable [of course that was last week) but actually, and only insofar as Arkansas’ experience is – at least in the county in which I personally reside within – September is the hottest month.
I sure hope in a way Climate Change is actually real. For if September’s news is “odder and/or hotter” than this June’s has been, I simply do not know whether I can handle it.
Sauve qui peut !!!
It’s an interesting read, right?
I suppose so.

I got confused with facebook’s 58 gender designations – this stuff sure makes basic anatomical and biological gender distinctions too complicated for me to fathom: http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/headlines/2014/02/heres-a-list-of-58-gender-options-for-facebook-users/
Dear Lord.
