This is a post for all of those of you who might have missed it. The Trump administration is planning to change the way gender markers through out the American bureaucratic system; that's everything from your drivers license, to 'entitlements', to court documents. They want to limit gender markers to male or female, going against most of the world, and a few states in allowing for non binary gender markers. Also removing the ability to change those markers when a person transitions, keeping things set to at birth, even requiring dna testing on those who refuse to cooperate. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/oct/21/trump-administration-define-transgender-out-of-existence-new-york-times Now this is obviously disastrous for all trans people in the US, potentially rolling back decades of hard won rights and opening up trans people to far more discrimination than they currently face. Currently only 27 states have protections for gender identity for employment and only 3 states have banned the gay/trans panic defence. So if this plans goes through an already ill protected minority will be at even greater risk. This of course follows Trump's attempt to ban trans people from serving in the US military, that was thankfully denied by the US district court but the administration is still fighting that ban. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/mar/23/donald-trump-transgender-military-ban-white-house-memo So I think it's clear this administrations opinions on LGBTQ people and they're not good. So please everyone who can vote in the US midterms this November, please vote, and remember your LGBTQ friends here and else where in the world because we're under attack, from many many angles and will need your support to stay safe.

Pay attention America, because this is a topic that often goes unnoticed in our media, but is very important. This year is becoming quite an election year with not only elections in the U.S., but elections in Russia, France, Greece, and other European countries with the final round of French presidential elections happening last Sunday. The important aspect of this for us here in the U.S. is the European economy. For some time now, the European governments have enacted austerity measures to get themselves out of the debt crisis. Unfortunately, I think one of the side effects of this is stunted or negative economic growth, which has resulted in recession for many of the countries. The importance the French presidential election is the newly elected French president, François Hollande, who is pushing for a balance between balancing the budget and economic stimulus as well as more taxes on the rich, while his incumbent, Nicolas Sarkozy and current president, pushed for austerity measures in Europe. It appears the French voters rejected this policy of austerity as are many countries in Europe, including Greece. Here is a nice video on it. http://www.pbs.org/n...ion1_05-07.html While Europe is very different from the U.S., the politics are very similar as we have the same questions to answer. Do we also go for austerity measures to fix our budget and lower our debt, or instead match it with more stimulus to assist in repairing the economy? It will be interesting to see how this plays out in Europe if only to see the salubrity of the economic policies.

Don't forget to support the one candidate in the 2012 presidential race that will balance the budget and fight to restore our freedoms (and consistently polls as winning against Obama). The corrupt mainstream media hates him, but his message of liberty and fiscal responsibility will be heard. http://www.blackthisout.com/
