*sigh* yeah, sure. Why not? It's been too long since Trump had his last controversy, so he was due for one. It's pointless, petty and achieves nothing but potential vote loses. But those Epstein files are taking up more headlines (a million references, Donald. A normal country would've locked you up for less), so i guess he can distract his sheep somewhat.

Still... Got to point out that Stonewall isn't just "a" memorial but pretty much the birthplace of the lgbtq community. Our more precise: if those riots never took place, being gay, transgender, queer or anyone not cis would still be a lot more underground.

I'm not exactly the most hardcore kinkster in the bdsm scene, but I do know the significance. It's for the lgbtq community somewhat what the Vatican is to Christians: perhaps not something you explicit care about, but you'd care if ICE starts pissing on it.

I'm a big proponent of leaving my LGBTQ+ homies alone. How about Trump fucks off to Epstein island or something.
