Strange Time for Romance

Let's take a break from the impending end of the world and examine something much lighter: My attempt at dating.

As a 62-year-old divorced lesbian, I know the odds of pairing up at this juncture aren't great. But hope stings eternal, and in a weak moment I found myself researching lesbian dating sites.

I settled on one called Pink Cupid. In the week that I've been on there, it's become abundantly clear that I didn't do enough research.

Oh, I receive a daily stream of likes and messages, so I should be in dyke heaven, right? Wrong. The folks trying to strike up a connection are frauds. The profiles are fake. Once in a while a real lesbian breaks through, but that's rare. It's a deluge of deceit.

The stilted language in messages, the way the photos and listed ages don't match, and the fact that some photos reappear as a different person are some of the hints that these profiles are pure fiction.

Also, I've twice seen an image of Sue Bird.

The scammers, likely male, assume that I want a younger woman, so they offer up gals from 25 to 55. The women are all attractive to gorgeous. And some of them are so well-endowed they make Bryon Noem look flat.

Thanks to the multitudinous attempts to swindle me, Pink Cupid has been an unhappy experiment. Now I know I'm gonna be all alone in that bomb shelter.

It surprised me when the White House released its fantastical budget proposal yesterday that there was one item I could get behind.

Donald Trump wants $152 million to rebuild and reopen Alcatraz. Fine—as long as he's the first new resident.

Talk about ingratitude.

As attorney general, Pam Bondi weaponized the Justice Department to open investigations into Donald Trump's enemies; she tried to stonewall the Epstein files; she shrilly sang Trump's praises at every opportunity; she even hung a banner with Trump's face outside the Justice Department building.

All that playing fast and loose with ethics and the law on behalf of that man, and today Trump fires her.

Oh Pam, it doesn't matter that you were true blue. Trump is always true poo.

After discovering that her husband visits fetish sites and dresses up as a busty woman, Kristi Noem has asked for "privacy, and thoughts and prayers." I'm sending prayers and tube tops.

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.
