Surviving Anti-LGBT Politics Part 8: Walk Your Talk
- No matter how large or small a part we play in the collective mission of our existence we need to do it right.
- Recognizing we are on the right side of history, we need to be the adults in the room no matter how sharp we dig our claws in.
- Walking our talk will be more important than ever because part of our fight is asserting our rightful place in society.
- We need not hide who we are, downplay our culture or spin our message. We do need however to present our message with grace, maturity, and a sense of confidence.
- Demonstrate what healthy LGBTQ+ life looks like. We need to proudly present who we are and the inherent healthy lives we live.
- Be impeccable with your words.
- Honesty and integrity in our message, our actions and our commitments is the cornerstone of any good life.
- Be credible in all areas of your daily life, and especially when you’re advocating for our cause.
- Don’t fight hate with hate.
- Our opposition is powered by a level of immaturity, ignorance, anger, resentment, fear, jealousy and hate that is explicitly raw. While it’s easy to fight fire with fire when it comes to emotion and drama we must not.
- Demonstrate our message with strength, intelligence, and love. Advocate from a position of power and professionalism in action.
- We must fight strong, hard and smart. We need to be the adults in the room.
- Encourage our tribe.
- We must empower our brothers and sisters to feel confident, self assured and worthy.

Catch Of The Week: MAGA MUA for the Mara-Lago Look
- From Them: If you’ve ever looked at women with “Mar-a-Lago face” and wondered who’s apparently teaching them to apply foundation with a concrete trowel, wonder no more.
- From Them: It seems that MAGA has their very own, somewhat cursed equivalent of a drag mother, and her name is Adrienne Gray. The former Fox News commentator turned “makeup artist” — scare quotes ours — now finds herself catering to Trump’s elite circle of blonde women, including former White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, Bettina Trump, Lara Trump (reportedly her most regular client) and more.
