My Thoughts on Gay and Transgender Issues

I just finished up making a video where this came up, and therein, I said I wasn’t going to go into it because it was going too far afield. Therefore, I figured before that came out, sometime at the tail end of January, I figure, I’d post my thoughts here on the blog for all to see.

Let’s get to it. Continue reading My Thoughts on Gay and Transgender Issues
