March of the Hydrangeas
In the park yesterday, I was astounded by the many varieties of hydrangea, all in bloom. There were blue ones (not my favorite, tbh).
There were white ones (on the oak-leaf hydrangea). And so many more, which I'll be displaying below.
But outside of the park, the news was predictably more grim, especially from the Supreme Court of the United States.
But first let's admire some more varieties of hydrangea!
They are all different and lovely in their own way.
Which is not something that the Supreme Court recognizes about people.
Gays are not important enough to be viewed as having contributed equally to our country, so if your 'religion' has a problem with us, then your children don't have to read about us in school. Our existence is too dangerous for young minds! Can you imagine making that argument to the Supreme Court of the United States ... and winning????
Even a first grader can understand why the right to religious freedom should not be weaponized to discriminate against others. But as Zohran Mamdani demonstrated this week, these same others are getting tired of being abused by a government and courts that have been propping up an archaic class whose power derives from subjugation.
I never thought I'd see the day, but the hydrangeas have had enough.
