There is no sugarcoating it. In last week’s debacle, er, debate, Joe looked like he was Biden’ time before the Grim Reaper arrived. His biggest weakness going into the showdown was his advanced age, yet he somehow managed to look older than 81. At times it appeared as if he were auditioning to play the late George Burns’ role in a sequel of Oh God! (And “Oh God!”, is what polite Democrats muttered after the first 30 seconds of the debate. Most used more colorful language.)

Throughout the years of the LGBTQ movement, our struggles, setbacks and disappointing legislation has made it a very difficult journey for most of our community members. Our community members have fought vigorously for equal rights and equal opportunities. We have made tremendous strides, but there is still so much work to do.

I love the “for Dummies” book series. They can teach an old dog new tricks without making the old dog feel stupid, although, I admit, “Get out of debt for dummies” wasn’t all that useful. (Turns out one must spend less than one earns; if they had just written that on the cover, I’d be $18.79 closer to my financial goals.)

I started my family more than two decades ago via in vitro fertilization (IVF), and I’ve watched with growing alarm as the U.S. Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision that overturned federal abortion rights two years ago has also endangered access to this common fertility technique. Jennifer Klein, director of the White House Gender Policy Council, spoke with me about the threat and the Biden administration’s response.

As everyone knows, the most famous symbol of LGBTQ people and LGBTQ rights everywhere is the Rainbow Flag, also known as the Pride Flag.

It's truly exciting to see the evolution of LGBTQ media in South Florida, especially compared to the competitive and often nasty landscape I experienced from 2006 to 2016.
