Well…the thing we were all hoping would not happen until after the election has happened…Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died last night at the age of 87. I am filled with despair today for this country…no one did more to protect the rights of every American than justice Ginsburg did for the last 27 years…she was out in front fiercely protecting our LGBTQ friends and family from the discrimination and hate that the right wing justices tried and tried to codify into law by giving religious people the right to discriminate against them under the guise of “religious freedom” while RBG read the constitution as meaning equal treatment under the law is for everyone, not just rich, white, straight people….she carried the hopes of people all over this country that someone would do something to keep the hard fought gains in equality that people had bled for…and she took it upon her tiny shoulders to carry this country through these dark times but the time came to lift that burden from her shoulders and let her find the peace that we all deserve. RIP RBG….we will all miss you…and thank you for showing us what dignity and perseverence looks like…now it’s time for the rest of us to pick up the fight….
