Famous Philly Lesbian Witch Hunt / Murder Trial in 1937-1938
Famous Philly Lesbian
Witch Hunt / Murder Trial in 1937-1938
A Public Show Trial - Scripted like something straight out of
the “The Children’s Hour” – 1938 “Murder Case” with local GOP politicians more
concerned about people’s private sex lives rather than trying how to determine
the facts surrounding the death of a child in a city run summer camp.
How
little things have (not/) changed in America in 80 years?

Canadian Anchor Baby Ted Cruz Debates Religious Bigotry Vs. Human Rights in Iowa with Ellen Page
Ellen Page,
wearing a hat and sunglasses, confronted presidential hopeful Ted Cruz at the
Iowa State Fair on Friday while he was grilling porkchops and ABC News caught
the exchange on-camera.
The duo got
into a debate about religious liberty and LGBT discrimination. Page asked Cruz
about LGBT people being fired for being gay or trans and he said, "Well,
what we're seeing right now, we're seeing Bible-believing Christians being
persecuted for living according to their faith."
"You're
discriminating against LGBT people," Page said to Cruz, as quoted by ABC
News. The actress asked him if he would use that same argument when discussing
segregation….
"No one
has the right to force someone else to abandon their faith and their
conscience," he said. He then switched the standard narrative of a
Christian florist denying wedding flowers to a gay couple. "Imagine,
hypothetically, you had a gay florist and imagine two evangelicals wanted to
get married and they decide, 'You know what, I disagree with your faith and I
don't want to provide flowers,'" said Cruz.
ABC News
reports the actress and politician spoke to each other for five minutes and
Cruz said he hadn't known it was Page at the time of their conversation.
