It was a hotbutton issue that Obama effectively deaded and he didn't have to deal with.
Nigga keeps on hitting the wasp nest and wonders, 'Why don't they like me' when he's watching anything but foxnews.
While some posters are outhere mad at the PC police (sorry Denny) I am loving the galvanized left and as bad as Trump is for blacks/hispanics/women/immigrants/trees/babies hopefully it forever forces the US progressive movement to be truly progressive as opposed to just centrist republicanism in LGBTQ clothes.
