I hate how the “end goal” for everyone who’s LGBT is basically for us to come out to everyone. Coming out is not a requirement that needs to be met. You can live a completely comfortable life without ever coming out to your parents or coworkers or anyone else that people assume you must be out to. Someone who’s not out is not “living a lie” because there’s nothing wrong or dishonest with protecting yourself, your safety, and the safety of your partner should you have one. As long as someone is comfortable and happy where they are, they’re under no obligation to change their out status. So we can stop pretending like coming out is the only major LGBT milestone and we can stop offering up a hundred million resources on how to do it unless it’s requested first.

• Free Speech Zones, which were a real thing and not a plot element in a particularly ham-handed dystopian novel.
  
• The phrase “hidey hole.”
• Watching a budget surplus become a massive deficit that was bigger than it even looked because the White House was just like, “Okay, we’ll just not put the wars on the books and just ask for more money for those every few months.”
• The sheer number of times Alberto Gonzalez said, “I don’t recall,” to Congress regarding war crimes and human rights violations.
• “…now watch this drive.”
  
• Mission Accomplished.
• “The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence,” “yellowcake uranium,” Condoleeza’s “mushroom clouds” fearmongering, and all the other bullshit we were fed to get into Iraq.
  
• The President of the United States said so many stupid things that there were one-a-day calendars consisting of an individual quote for each day of the year. They didn’t all have the exact same quotes.

“There are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns – the ones we don’t know we don’t know.”

And then we went to war.

“Tonight I ask you to pass legislation to prohibit the most egregious abuses of medical research: human cloning in all its forms; creating or implanting embryos for experiments; creating human-animal hybrids; and buying, selling or patenting human embryos.” - George W. Bush, 2006 State of the Union

Okay, that’s the best one.

Bush watched that Batman Beyond splicing episode and had nightmares for a week

was it hidey-hole? i thought it was spider-hole.

Yeah, it was spider-hole

• Harriet Miers, Bush’s first Supreme Court nomination. She was the head of the Texas Lottery Commission and had no experience as a judge or Supreme Court-level attorney. Her hearings found that she had almost no knowledge of any major court case, and her name was eventually withdrawn and replaced with Alito.
  
• “Heck of a job, Brownie.”
  
• Faith-based initiatives that could theoretically go to any religious organization but only went to Christian ones.
• Karl Rove outing an active CIA agent because her husband wrote an article that made Bush look bad.
• Stalling a Middle East peace plan because he got Sweden and Switzerland mixed up.
• Coalition Of The Willing.
• “You forgot Poland.”
  

Jesus, I forgot about Harriet Miers. 

• John Ashcroft having curtains put up at the Department of Justice because he felt uncomfortable speaking in front of a statue of a partially-topless woman.
  
• Freedom Fries and pouring French wine into the gutter because fuck the French

In a campaign founded, launched, and fueled by bigotry, it’s not hard to find Donald Trump saying or doing something ugly. Ugliness is the norm.

One loaded word said daily by Trump, though, stands at the center of them all and it may not be quite what you’d expect it to be.

Again.

The word is “again.”

As in the final five letters of his campaign slogan to “Make America Great…AGAIN.”

This word, plastered on the red baseball caps worn by white supremacists at his recent Kentucky rally and stated with authority at every campaign event simply has not gotten the scrutiny it deserves.

Simply put, longing for a time where America is so much better than it is today is a well worn dog whistle for racism and bigotry. Trump is clearly longing for it. In the very rally, at the very moment the young black woman was being assaulted by racists at his rally, Trump, watching her being taken out said, “You know, in the old days, which isn’t so long ago, when we were less politically correct, that kind of stuff wouldn’t have happened. Today we have to be so nice, so nice, we always have to be so nice.”

What old days is he talking about?

At another rally in February, regarding a protester at his rally, Trump said “You know what they used to do to a guy like that in a place like this? They’d be carried out on a stretcher, folks.“

At what point in time is Trump speaking of?

When Trump says he wants to “make America great again,” bigots all over the country hear it, know full well what it means, and come together to support their new supreme leader.

At what exact reference point in human history is Donald Trump saying he wants us to [go] back to?

He’s spoken so ill of President George W. Bush that it doesn’t seem likely that when he says “let’s make America great again,” he’s speaking of any point of the Bush administration.

Is he speaking of slavery?

Maybe during Jim Crow when his father was allegedly arrested at a KKK rally?

Does he mean during the height of lynching in America?

Does he mean before women could vote?

Or maybe he means in the 1950s and 1960s when African-Americans were forced to take outrageous poll tests to cast a vote or use inferior facilities designated “colored”?

aybe the 1970s when Trump and his dad were accused of repeated housing discrimination against African-Americans?

Or perhaps Donald Trump is longing for a time where the majority of school children in America were white instead of children of color, like they are today?

Maybe he’s even longing for a time when men with last names like Cruz or Rubio wouldn’t dare run against him?

Is Donald Trump longing for a time before a black man was President?

Tell us Donald, what point of American history is it that you and your supporters are longing for so badly?
