Re: the Violence Against Women act – apparently the GOP has decided they don’t need the votes of anyone in possession of a set of ladybits.
@al2o3cr: They’re no doubt working on a way to take the vote away from us.
@ Srta. Cynica: you mean we still have the vote? I assumed all of my fellow Vagina-Americans had already been herded into the camps Margaret Atwood told us to be sure to avoid. or do we have to wait until Frothy Mix takes the oath of office on the carcass of one of his dead fetuses?
Did you know StumbleUpon has a “Gay Culture” category? Did you know it doesn’t any more?

@nojo: We’ve had 1400 posts about teh gheyz? Or total?
@SanFranLefty: 1400 submitted to StumbleUpon. The process is that you select a primary topic from a very long drop-down list — dozens of selections. (Most of the time, I just choose “Politics”.) Time was, “Gay Culture” was among the selections. Not any more.
Not that “Gay Culture” is the best choice for such things. But it used to be the closest choice.
