Politics, Gays, and Women - Part 2

lesbians after marriage have more fun
Politics, gays, and women.  I'm writing for a couple of blogs lately and currently working full time at a new job - just for 2 months.  I am working with teenagers and I love it.  I love showing them unconditional positive regard.  It is fun to see the gay teens, the number of transgender teens.  I am not saying it is easy for them, as I am sure it is not.  But I am an older gay person who has seen many changes in my life, and the fact that 2 girls can kiss or hold hands in a high school and not be afraid.  Progress.  I just heard our Attorney General Loretta Lynch speak about progress being made and then fights to have to keep that progress.  She was at Stonewall when being interviewed by a favorite of mine, Rachel Maddow.
So I am pursuing more comments on this blog due to the current and possible future state of affairs in the US of D.T. Thus my concern about politics, gays, and women.  I personally have a hard time tolerating him at all.  I am a therapist and would see him as a very damaged client.
So are you worried about the future for LGBT people.  One of my concerns is the entire lack of compassion these politicians and billionaires have for people.  NONE.  Truly, do they all have personality disorders?
I will try to do my part to continue the rights of LGBTQ people.  I am proud to be gay and I am glad to be gay.   As I write tonight, I wanted to let people who do not know about all the awesome video excerpts on youtube.  I have so enjoyed it.  Watching the lesbian videos is very validating to me.  I am no longer in a relationship, and certainly love to be in one,  and these videos can validate some positive relationships (although I know it is tv).  It is somewhat comparable to being an African American person living in a world of white people, and all of a sudden you are in a classroom of  African American students.  Being a Lesbian, I believe I have a similar experience.  I certainly assimilate well in the world, and do not personally care who my friends prefer to be intimate with, but there is a sense of affirmation when with other lesbians - an "I see who you are and validate you" experience, or a sense of familiarity, comfort, sharing.  I'm not exactly sure of the right word.
So, let's get mad, let's make a movement, let's help each other.
