You Read: You Decide

You have most likely in your life seen many things that were before they happened unexpected or even unbelievable. One could say welcome to the club.

Government censorship is one thing, private another. We place the following story in our "Your Decision: You Read It  And Decide" category. We already have heard about Facebook's bias and that brooks another question: Facebook, why not other social media?

Immediately after the Orlando tragedy, we said it would favor Trump more than Hilary. This past week in West Hollywood, an area well-know for its concentration of gays, signs popped up.

It's hard to tell exactly what the true meaning of these signs are. For some it might be literal, for others something else. Obviously, fear and frustration and uncertainty play into it. It's difficult in times like these to know who your friends are. That's why censorship irrespective of its intentions cannot be allowed. So we post this story in that Facebook vein. If Facebook can be censoring why not other social media?

Do gays who may--as unbelievable as it might sound--support Trump deserve to be censored for simply expressing their choice or views on a public social media? That's a question you're going to have to answer for yourself if you truly believe in gay rights?

We're not gay. That's not our lifestyle choice. But we believe in your right to have that choice. As we said: In times like these it's difficult to know who your friends are.

Here's another example. People lament black on black crime. This appears to be gay on gay crime. It's is ironic that groups of people who have been discriminated and intimidated against for years, possibly centuries, is now intimidating, discriminating and physically hurting their own.
