On this Transgender Day of Visibility, the Supreme Court decided free speech trumps queer kids' right to be themselves.

The justices sided 8-1 with a Christian counselor who claimed Colorado's law banning conversion therapy violated her First Amendment right to tell gay and trans youth that they're going to spend eternity in the fires of hell. (Okay, I presume she didn't put it that way.)

This means that the bans on conversion therapy enacted by bunches of states are up in the air. So brace yourself for the return of "Christian" therapy aimed at changing teens' sexual orientation or gender identity. To be followed by guilt, depression, and suicidal ideation.

On the upside, we all know of cases where a gay kid goes to conversion camp and meets his first boyfriend.

I've now participated in all three No Kings protests, but I haven't received a penny in payment.

I intend to report George Soros to the Department of Labor.

The constant stream of verbal malarkey that comes out of Donald Trump's mouth included this gem yesterday: "I did very well with the gay vote."

Trump won about 12 percent of the LGBTQ vote in 2024, with Kamala Harris capturing about 86 percent.

If he thinks that's doing well, I've got a strait by the name of Hormuz to sell him.

After missing its recruitment goals, the U.S. Army is now raising its max enlistment age to 42 and removing its waiver requirement for a single marijuana possession.

Gosh... if only thousands of highly qualified trans soldiers hadn't been kicked out last year for no good reason.

Florida Flip

Today in Florida, a Democrat defeated a Trump-backed Republican in the race for the open District 87 state House seat. District 87 happens to include . . . Mar-a-Lago.

Feel free to bask in the moment.

I'm not so optimistic as to say the flipping of this seat is a harbinger of things to come, but I sure am digging the symbolism.

By the way, for all his carping on the subject, Trump voted by mail. And probably always will, until they put a polling place on a golf course.
