One Step Forward, Two 'Great' Steps Back

Excellent piece by Samara Lynn in Black Enterprise about New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's response to the "Make America Great Again" slogan. I know it took me until 2015 -- when Obergefell v. Hodges was decided favorably, and in a way it would not be just three years later thanks to those of you who thought staying home or voting for Gary Johnson and Jill Stein somehow allowed you to keep your hands “clean” -- before I felt I was an equal member of this country. And already my rights are being rolled back. I hope those of you who opted not to do the right thing can sleep at night, because it sure as hell isn’t getting any easier for anyone who doesn’t fit the straight-white-Christian-man mold of when the U.S. was supposedly so “great” to do so.
