Since They Don’t Teach Gay Sex Ed In School Let Me Tell Gay Guys And Anyone Else That Wants To Use

Oklahoma is attempting to pass a bill that would ban explicit romance novels. Authors, narrators, and sellers could all face fines of up to $100,000 and up to 10 years in jail for each instance.

If you live in OK, call your representative and tell them this bill should not be allowed to pass.

This is likely a test case. Republicans will try to pass it in OK and if it passes other states will likely try to pass similar laws.

Changes in taxes, deficits, and spending affect the overall economy and excluding these will make things look better than they actually are. These changes trump wants to make are likely due to the first quarter being on track for negative growth, typically a sign of an economic decline.

Lawmakers in 9 states propose measures to undermine same-sex marriage rights

Lawmakers in at least nine states have introduced measures to try to chip away at same-sex couples’ right to marry. 

Five of the measures, including one introduced Tuesday in Michigan, urge the Supreme Court to overturn its 2015 landmark ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges, which granted same-sex couples nationwide the right to marry.

State Rep. Josh Schriver, a Republican elected in November 2022, introduced the marriage resolution in Michigan, saying in a statement on social media that the Obergefell ruling “is at odds with the sanctity of marriage, the Michigan Constitution and principles upon which the country was established.”
