As usual, I agree with you. When people talk about the importance of shunning social media if it can't be shut down, because of the Nazis and White supremacists and cruelties and death threats*, I think about all the connections and reassurances and information shared by people who want to build, ar building a more equitable and sustainable society and world.

And God bless you and your discourse policy. Which are important as communication to silent onlookers, to testify to honesty and kindness and good though sometimes ferocious manners.

* Which are really there, and online recruiting for which is very worrisome.

After that exchange (which is ongoing, though I'm mostly just monitoring it to weed out the dumb asses), I am reassured that there are plenty of the righteous out there. My husband suggested visiting a particular Facebook page of "Moms for Liberty," or some such nonsense. I weighed in, but I was far from the only one. That gives me hope.

Funny how my generation grew up reading about about nothing but heterosexual people, and yet some still turned out gay.

Nice column.

Re "Ohio has a new Don’t Say Gay bill that is even more draconian that Florida’s": I'm blessed if I know why this typo appears so frequently. If even YOU are succumbing to it, I've gotta think that Wordpress, Microsoft Word, et alia think it's correct. It isn't.

Which typo? I try to have at least three in every post.

The “that” should be “than.”

Fixed it. That was a matter of me not reading closely enough -- as was the case with my dashed-off, grammatically incorrect tweet. And thank you.
