But what if you don’t particularly feel like celebrating? What if you’re actually pretty goddamn pissed off right now, what with the bipartisan police state feasting on shattered trans bodies like undead fiends just behind the rainbow curtain and known sexual predators demonizing our kids as perverts for pissing in the wrong bathrooms… What if all this primary season, tightrope chicanery actually has you in the mood to…
