Earlier today, I was going to post that, even in the unlikeliest places,

things can get better. Specifically, today/this month, Colorado Springs, previosly the home of the horrific, homophobic, Amendment 2, is now displaying Pride flags and banners all over downtown. Progress!!! Sadly, then I saw the OP about the CO gqp announcing to burn every Pride flag they see. I hope whoever starts this crap reaps exactly what they deserve.

Don't be fooled by the "benevolent grandfather" types. They are often the most vicious ones of all.

He's 87 or 88. Unfortunately, the foundation he founded is still doing damage to the psyches of many and not just in Colorado Springs.

It looks like the Lazy Dog is where the old Elephant Bar used to be?

We love to go there with our doggie and go out to the patio. Dog show. Lots of fun and confusion
