Today's Mighty Oak

Just keep repeating to yourself “the mods are not peanut butter…the mods are not peanut butter”



Alright, let’s see what we have today.  First up, it didn’t make it to Broadway, but there was a stage version of Disney’s “Hunchback of Notre Dame,” which is my all-time favorite Disney movie.  Here is a preview of the cast recording:

And here is a clip of “Out There”

So there’s all kinds of conservatives decrying Donald Trump’s sustained leading in the polls.  But just remember, this is what the modern republican party has always stood for, he’s just shouting it, instead of whispering and implying it.

It looks like the IOC will adopt trans*-friendly policies, not requiring surgery for athletes to compete as the gender they are.

And speaking of sports, a spin off of Ben Cohen’s foundation was recently formed to help and accelerate US athletes coming out of the closet.

One of the things I’ll miss the most next year will be Joe Biden no longer being VEEP.  Case in point, his blistering take down of anti-LGBT policies.

I don’t know anything about Suicide Squad, but this is an awesome trailer.  The music, the editing, the colors, simply awesome:

Protect Thy Neighbor is tracking anti-LGBT laws proposed across the country.  Even though we have marriage, we still lack very basic civil rights.

One such push is for “bathroom bills.”  Here’s how one trans-woman describes the excruciating process of peeing.

And here’s another perspective on the “Religious Freedom” bills popping up all over the place.

And a totally heartbreaking story from Australia: One man in a couple on their honeymoon dies, and Australia refuses to recognize their marriage.

Okay, that ended up pretty depressing, go watch the videos again, that will make it better!
