A few weeks ago, I wrote about a campaign to send holiday cards to LGBTQ folks who’ve been shunned by their families — who aren’t invited home, who’ve been cut off from the warmth of tradition — because of who they love.

The card-writing campaign launched the day after the Club Q shooting last month in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Pinta was inspired by Home for the Holidays, a 12,000-strong Facebook group that serves as a safe space for LGBTQ people who can’t, actually, go home for the holidays. Pinta started a spreadsheet with addresses of members from the group who wanted to receive holiday cards from kindhearted strangers. She set up card-writing parties and added information to the Pinta Pride Project website (buffalogrovepride.com) for others who wanted to take part.

Awesome! Especially since they seriously hinted at Will being gay in the last season.

This is an important step in increasing equity for these populations. Needs that aren’t documented aren’t planned for.

It’s good data- where people live - what’s their income etc. though I’m sure it’s still an undercount given the fear of identifying oneself to government. An increasingly scary one at that.

You know, this gives me the idea of having holiday or birthday dinner via ZOOM with someone who is participating. Ahead of time, I’d send a little cash – or a gift certificate to a restaurant they enjoy, and then we’d connect via ZOOM and have dinner together.

How many right wing heads are exploding right now? (Actually probably not many. For many of them, Catholics are questionable at best.)

And the Catholic ones hate the pope. They think him being pope means god’s will was thwarted by satan-loving cardinals

I am dead serious

How can God’s will be thwarted?

All I can say is that if God is that helpless, then they are not much of an omnipotent deity.

They are still catholic. Cognitive dissonance and logic are very foreign to them
