1. An Old Friend

For starters, she is not old. But an old friend, Darlyn, reached out to me yesterday to like a new page on Facebook called Safe Haven LGBTQ+ App. Darlyn and I attended Carroll University together, and Darlyn was a great resource on campus for the LGBT community. I liked it immediately to be supportive. When I began reading what the app was about I was instantly intrigued, and wanted to know more. Low and behold, they were looking for more people to become Talk Leaders. I instantly said yes! Now I am learning more about how to become involved and where the idea came from. 

2. A Short Presentation

3. Kathleen Sullivan

Here is a short bio of our fearless leader, Kathleen Sullivan. 

“Kathleen hails originally from Arlington, MA, but currently resides in the Steel City, Pittsburgh, PA. After watching her late father succumb to lung cancer in April of 2014, she realized, thanks to conversations with him, her purpose was much greater than what she was living to that point. Kathleen realized she needed to refocus her life and focus it on traveling and helping others by any means necessary. Kathleen did just that. After helping her family at home following her father's death, she packed her bags and found Pittsburgh to be her new home. She is currently the President of SK Marketing Group & her latest project, Safe Haven.“

1. A Disclaimer

Alright, I am not trying to get super political here. I think I’m just pointing out the absurdities here. So I thought I would start with something heavy, then end with something light. If you want it the other way around, choose your adventure and read #3 next, then #2. 

2. CNN Anchor to NRA Spokeswoman: How Dare You

I think Dana Loesch is grabbing at strings in this video bey saying the media loves mass shootings. DO YOU HEAR HOW ABSURD THAT IS?!? I’m not sure anyone loves mass shootings, so for the NRA to say that people in legacy media love mass shootings for ratings is ridiculous. If anyone can find me someone that has said they love mass shootings for a higher score on TV, I will delete this post. I think CNN anchor Alisyn Camerota hits it on the head when see says that most people turn away from the TV these days whenever there is a mass shooting like this. 

What I don’t understand is how a minor is able to get an automatic assault weapon. Not just minor’s why does anybody need an automatic assault weapon. On the issues of gun I kind of ride down the middle. I understand that people don’t want their guns taken away, especially for hunting. Where I’m from it’s a big part of our community, and resources for food. We live off the land. I think the issue I have with it all is the screening process and how easy it is for anyone to acquire a weapon. 

3. How to Get a Date with Adam Rippon

Click here to watch the original video. 

Sally Field is an extraordinary supporter of the LGBT community! She always has been. One of my favorite things I’ve seen her in is Brothers & Sisters on ABC. I’m hoping for a reboot of that show soon! Ms. Field is a pretty rad mom by using her star power to tweet out to Adam Rippon. The reason, to try and set up her son on a date. I think if Sally Fields were my mom, I would be totally embarrassed. I hope Sam and Adam are able to meet up and celebrate Adam’s Olympic accomplishments. Sally Field, if you are reading this, 1. Thank you for all your support over the years to the LGBT community. 2. If you feel like playing matchmaker, here I am.
