I sent the info to a friend along with my comments, and she wrote back that "the governor banned it but the legislature overturned it." She's got it all backward. I'm convinced the average American has no idea what's going on here.

Because it's the smaller more conservative states that are trying to stop this, the media portrays it as "the backwards right-wing Christians" and whatever words coastal elites use to look down on other Americans with. Then it's easier to make it look like "they're denying children health care!" when it's the exact opposite.

LGB need to be more vocal than ever about protecting children, especially likely gay children. I wish we had more high-profile spokespeople out there.

I agree that LGB should be more vocal, because, as you say, most people can't figure out what the hell is going on, so the blame, when it hits, is going to fall on LGBt.

Martina seems to be learning a bit more about what's going on. I think she's a little scared to come out in opposition, but even if she did, I'm sure the genderists would just claim she's old and out of touch.
