Well, this is a change of pace. I'm not forgoing the trains; they are still an important piece. But I found out that Gov. J. B. Pritzker of Illinois stopped the "shielding" of various libraries. Now, when we think of libraries, we don't automatically think of items of great importance. But think of it - whether from Chicago or Prairie du Rocher, Illinoisans have an equal chance of information - including transgender folks. And it's free! Now from Bridgeport to Bridgewater, we have a chance to do the same. If you live in Connecticut, urge your legislators to do likewise. If you live outside of Connecticut, but have friends from Connecticut, urge them to join this fight. Thanks.

ezs note: Granted, bringing a boy into jail might seem a bit harsh. But maybe this'll put the fear o' God into him. (the good kind)

ezs note: I ran across and Rev. Ed Trevors gave a breath of fresh air. Unfortunately, most of what passes off as 'Christianity' is pure crap. I may not see every line side to side (he is a [real] Christian, I am a Baha'i), but, geez, this guy is good. I'll do my bit to promote him. To find more about him, go to Bing AI and type in 'Who is Reverend Ed Trevors?'
