83 - Timothy Rosenberger

On the dancefloor at Mardi Gras this year, I met Tim Rosenberger. He is a gay, conservative, Republican law grad from Ohio. And he has supported Donald Trump's candidacy for President of the United States. That candidacy was successful. And now we're here. Here I have a lengthy chat with Tim via Skype about why he thinks Trump and Pence will be good for LGBTIQ+ Americans, racial politics, "pussy-gate", the electoral college, Clinton, climate change PC, identity politics and much more. I listened. It was hard and frustrating. But useful. I hope. #MAGA The World Keeps Happening is being filmed for Stan at the Comedy Theatre on Saturday December 3rd Boundless Plains To Share at Belvoir Theatre in January 2017 Boundless Plains to Share at Adelaide Fringe in February 2017 @TimJRJR @twinksfortrump Article: Aftermath - 16 writers on Trump's America in The New Yorker Article: Trump warms to Electoral College, 4 Years After Calling it a "Disaster For Democracy" Article: Reports of anti-LGBTQ extremists tapped for major roles on President-Elect Trump's transition Article: Trump's Muslim register database - an explainer on Vox Article: The Democrats are screwing up the resistance to Donald Trump by Jamelle Bouie Article: Bursting the Facebook bubble - we asked voters on the left and right to swap feeds Article: Virginia's governor restores voting rights for 13,000 felons Article: China will soon trump America: the country is now the global leader in climate change reform Article: Trump in the White House - an interview with Noam Chomsky Cause of the Week: Safe Schools Coalition (safeschoolscoalition.org.au), Log Cabin Republicans (logcabin.org)
