Here’s Your Top 3 for the Weekend: Jan 17-19, 2025 🌴

January 17-19, 2025

A Race to the End!  President Biden is working fast and furious to both burnish his image and protect our country as he leaves office.

In a wide-ranging interview with Lawrence O’Donnell, he got an opportunity to look back and talk about how he put policy over politics – likely to the detriment of getting credit for how much was accomplished.

Today, Biden pushed through the Equal Rights Amendment as ratified, and more actions are expected before Monday.

We are all nervous — many scared — about what’s ahead.  I keep remembering the mantra to watch what “they” do, not what “they” say.  The rhetoric has been extreme and upsetting to our LGBTQ community, and it will continue.  Let’s see what exactly gets passed, challenged in court and is ultimately implemented.

The inauguration will feature The Village People, whose leader made some terrible remarks and threats on social media.  His claim that “Y.M.C.A.” should not be a gay anthem and was never written with any known “gay” behavior in mind rings hollow.  KGAY Program Director Chris Shebel made the decision to remove all songs by The Village People from the KGAY playlist.  You can read the story and see the video as reported by our partners at the Coachella Valley Independent here.

Come Monday, there will be a new sheriff in town with the inmates running the asylum.  Let’s circle the wagons and do our best to persevere.  See you at The People’s Rally!
