Typical Bible Belt response: "Stewpid dykey headed lesbo!"

they would say "Stewpid DAMNED dykey headed lesbo!" as all those psalm-singin' hypocrites believe that all LGBT will burn in hell forever.

Thank God she's not in the Bible Belt. (And we need to get you out of there, Marknis, or at least figure out how to get you to Austin.)

Her father's pride in her - and gratitude for her survival and her fierce intelligence - made me cry as much as her own courage did.

joseph n. welch needs to rise from the grave, take a shower, shave, haircut, and say to the shameless Dotard and his NRA boosters, "at long last, have you no sense of decency?"

while it took some effort to get through the video, i am very optimistic when i see that young people have not been consumed by apathy. while i hope it doesn't happen, i fully expect the wizened, corrupt old fatcats in charge to disregard her, and people like us because of our age. we may as well not exist in the eyes of some, but i have seen this tide begin to turn even within my short lifetime.

millenials and generation z will save us all.

oh doodz, fer cryin out loud.

By all means, let us make the perfect the enemy of the good, form our usual lefty circular firing squad, and defeat ourselves before we even begin.

Sorry guys; to coin a phrase, in this particular fight, I'm With Her. I don't give a filing pluck why she has a buzz cut (political statement is one option. Given Wednesday, there's also possible scalp laceration and Shave-for-Stitches. Given contemporary society, there's also A-Friend's-Chemo-Solidarity). It's the superb intelligence under the fuzz that I care about, and the fierce heart, and the fact that she's still alive today to use them.

I'd be proud as hell if that young woman was my grandchild. With or without hair, or a same-sex sweetheart. She was one of several who spoke out, many of whom were more conventional looking, all of whom conveyed similar messages.

I hope you guys at least listened to what she had to say.

Sheesh.

(Edit in: yes, I still love all of you. I'm just mildly exasperated. These people are about to make history, and all we can do is criticize their hairstyle? Umm... isn't that a tad ironic, O We Children Of The Sixties?)

i listened. i don't think many people care about her hairstyle.


in the past i was infatuated with girls who had buzzcuts, but that's beside the point. we need more people like her.

I didn't notice her hairstyle at all. I noticed her poise. her poise pisses off the right. I admire it even more in light of that.

hopefully the message transcends left/right divisions.

have to be highly optimistic to expect the American right to accept her message?

You never know. Apparently one GOP donor has had enough:

unfortunately it will take far more than that to penetrate their echo chamber.

Either option is preferable but I'd honestly prefer the latter because my nicer cousins live close to Austin.

I wasn't bashing her at all. I just know rednecks judge people on appearances and it's sickening that they do so.

they really pull the strings here, huh? shame that it has to come to this.

Well that was a powerful youtube video. Those people seem mad enough to actually do something about this..

let's hope the GOPTP dirty tricksters don't endanger her and hers. todays ratf*ck*rs [GOP slang for dirty trickster] make Nixon's "CREEP" look like boy scouts.
