Your boos mean nothing, for I have seen what makes you cheer. Luke 12:4

California, USA
Today, I sent the @denverpost my oped containing my official apology to the LGBTIQA+. The Disposable Ally: A Hard Lesson from Colorado's Ballot Victories Colorado voters recently approved Propositions 133, 134, and 135, marking a sweeping victory for conservative policies in a difficult election year. I spent years playing a central role in building the foundation for the girls' sports measure. I filed the initial paperwork, traveled to every county in the state to gather signatures, fought through endless Title Board hearings, and successfully defended the language at the Colorado Supreme Court. I faced death threats, lost my job, and sacrificed immensely for a cause I believed was right. But you will not see my name in the victory laps, and you will not see me standing on the stage with the movement's prominent leaders. As a gender-critical gay man, I did the unglamorous, grueling groundwork. I provided the movement with a crucial shield, serving as the marginalized voice they pointed to when they needed to deflect accusations of bigotry. Once the foundation was laid and the initiatives gained real traction, the original architects were pushed out. The language I helped craft was quietly refiled by initiative leaders behind my back to consolidate control. When I sought clarity about my sudden exclusion, I was blocked from all communication and told by a leader of a prominent conservative parent advocacy network to simply "fade into irrelevancy." My labor and my identity were exploited to sanitize the movement. Then I was discarded. This dynamic is not unique to Colorado. It is part of a larger national pattern demonstrating exactly how the conservative movement views its gay allies. We recently saw this play out on a national stage when prominent media figures like Tucker Carlson turned on hardworking gay conservative organizers like Scott Presler. The message being broadcast is unmistakable. Gay conservatives are tolerated only as long as we are politically convenient, and the moment the base demands strict ideological purity, we are cut out. For years, members of the broader LGBTQIA+ community warned me this would happen. They told conservative and gender-critical homosexuals that this alliance was a transactional illusion. They warned us that we were trading our long-term rights for short-term political wins, and that once the movement finished its current battles, they would inevitably come for us next. I stubbornly refused to believe it. I thought the shared policy goals and the sheer volume of work I contributed would be enough to secure a permanent seat at the table. I thought doing what was right and doing the heavy lifting meant I was an equal partner. I was wrong. To those in the LGBTQIA+ community who warned us that we were being used and that we would be discarded the moment we were no longer useful: you were absolutely right, and I am deeply sorry.

While democrats fight to destroy America, republicans fight to destroy republicans.

I’ve been ruthlessly attacked by both sides, and this is my response. I ran. I put measures forward. I testified. I spoke out. What have you done?

This, right here, is why I foresee 2028 being another blood bath for the Republican candidates. Good. Let's finish the job!
You’re a failed politician.  Nobody listens to losers.  And it’s Saturday morning and you’re obsessing over me.  Get lost, crackpot. You’re done.

The larger LGBTIQA+ has been warning conservative and GC homosexuals about what @TuckerCarlson did to @ScottPresler, telling us that they are next if they do not defend the TQIA+. Tucker proved them right, and Scott confirmed it.

Do you all see now why I’m telling you that the goal of queer activism is the destruction of western civilization? She is anti-democracy. Perhaps this nigger should go back to the plantation. Or Africa.
NEW: "I want to be clear that the majority of the voters do not get to decide the outcome," said Nadine Bridges, executive director of LGBTQ+ advocacy group One Colorado, speaking about Colorado's voter-approved Propositions 134 and 135. On Thursday, Nov. 5, One Colorado held an hour-long "LGBTQ+ Colorado 2026 Election Review" online event via Zoom. I attended the free event because I was interested in hearing the LGBTQ+ community's reactions to the passage of Props 134 and 135. What I heard was raw, emotional, and defiant. Instead of accepting the results, Bridges opened the door to election denialism, implicitly asserting that a minority could and would overturn the outcome established by the majority. Three state representative-elects later joined the call, including Colorado's newly elected trans legislator from Wheat Ridge, Dr. Alexis Hoffkling. Earlier in the event, Bridges also talked about having a recent post-election discussion with governor-elect Phil Weiser. ⬇️

Maybe if the Republicans had delivered on their campaign promises, this would have been avoided. Americans in 24 wanted affordability, accountability, no new wars, and America First. Republicans delivered on none of that. Now is the Democrats opportunity to deliver what Republicans would not. Will they?

Democrats will shoot you in the face. Republicans will stab you in the back.
Tucker Carlson is SUCH a nasty person. He attacks Scott Presler calling him Trans as an insult even though @ScottPresler has been one of the biggest fighters for Republicans we have ever had! Scott has certainly done more than Tucker has. Tucker is evil for this. I wish nothing but terrible things for Tucker x.com/usmcgruntx/status/2118…

It’s not rocket science. We elected Republicans in 2024 to do the easiest of things. Things they said they would do. They did not deliver. They forgot who they worked for. They became proud and complacent. Now they remember because the voters sent them a loud and clear message. Now, Democrats have a chance to fix what Republicans would not. The question is; will they? Or will they spend the next two years on investigations and impeachments?
Let me explain what’s going on right now. 🚨

I think I may take up painting again. This is acrylic ink. The blue is supposed to resemble the mountains and the rivers with Colorado's flag.

Another retarded Trump first maga cult member who, predictably, blames his own party’s voters for their loss. This mentality won’t help them win in 28 either.
Retarded Republicans: Trump only delivered on 16 of his 20 promises in his first 2 years, so to punish him for not reaching 20 of 20 is to hand control to the Party that actively fought against all 20.

Gas in my area has fallen by nearly $2 a gallon for regular in as many days. Anyone else think the price of gas was being manipulated to influence the outcome of the election? 🤔

As a GC gay, I’ve learned the difference between democrats is they will shoot you in the face, Republicans will shoot you in the back.

Will those who chanted "protect democracy" fight to protect it even when they lose? What is Colorado doing, right now, to begin the recall process on the legislators and the governor who overrides the will of the majority? Or will republicans in the state just grab their ankles once again?
'PLAN TO FIGHT': Meet Z Williams, the green-haired, nose-ringed leader of the resistance against Colorado's voter-approved Propositions 134 and 135. Z is the director of Bread and Roses Legal Center in Denver. "This is not over. This is just the beginning," Z said. "And also, we have a plan to fight." Z told CBS News that the trans community began preparing for the possibility of the measures passing about two months before Election Day. Their next steps include pushing state lawmakers to repeal the propositions. Meanwhile, Rep. Lorena Garcia, who sponsored a bill allowing convicted felons to change their name to match their gender identity in 2024, said nothing is off the table in terms of pursuing legislation to limit or override the impacts of Propositions 134 and 135. She said it depends on what the coalition of organizations working on behalf of transgender people wants to see happen, not the outcome of Tuesday's election. Protect Kids Colorado, the organization behind the measures, says the results reflect concerns families have raised for years. "For years, Colorado families asked their elected representatives to take these concerns seriously, only to see legislation repeatedly rejected at the Capitol," @ProtectKidsCO Chairman Kevin Lundberg said in a statement. On Election Day, "Coloradans spoke for themselves. They have made clear that the legislature's refusal to act did not reflect the will of the people." Transgender advocates are planning a 'Trans Rage' demonstration at the State Capitol on Saturday, November 7, calling for lawmakers to repeal Propositions 134 and 135.

Jews voting Democrat? At least when I was at Mauthausen, I don’t recall learning about them lining up and volunteering for the shower!

Last year @realDonaldTrump said: "If my PAST supporters who are weaklings care about the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax then I don’t want their support anymore." Look who got his wish.

We can do better than that. Again, thank you to Linda White and @LopezforCO for all you did on these issues. I know Erin wants to take credit but you two are what got this off the ground.
We will all need to be like Erin in the next few years. Literally. - Live in a hostile state where the government wants to jail you or kill you - Be attacked by the captured media for nothing more than being a concerned parent - Rally likeminded people to fight - Effect legal change with nothing but volunteers and pennies - Remain cheerful throughout while bearing the weight of the world on your shoulders. That's all I have. Other than Colorado and Washington, there is no silver lining to last night. We are the resistance now, but luckily we have people like @Erin4Parents, @ErinFriday75490, @sophaller, @MorrellMDmph, and others to show us how to do it.

Thomas Massie was right. Tucker Carlson was right. Rand Paul was right. Marjorie Taylor Greene was right. The “Panicans” were right. Maybe you should have listened to them instead of Catturd and Gunther Eagleman.
