Democratic lawmakers have reintroduced legislation that would ban discrimination based on a person’s hairstyle or hair texture, marking the latest attempt in Congress to pass a federal CROWN ACT.
For what it’s worth I’m a guy with a ponytail and I had a dudebro at a bar in Nebraska threaten to kill me because he thought that meant I was gay, so I suppose the saving grace is we’re not facing off against intellectuals on this front.
Classic Nebraska. I started wearing pride clothing just to piss off the old fucks in restaurants, and I always give them a big old smile when they stare.
I overheard a conversation between two old guys at the Omaha VA discussing one of their relatives coming out as nonbinary. The sentiment was, in essence, “well, are they gay or what? Idk what these damn kids are doing anymore…” After some internal debate, I piped up and explained the sexuality and gender are two separate topics. To these guys’ credit, they seemed to take it in stride, if a little befuddled by it all. Considering the other options and prevailing opinions of many of the patients around here, I’ll take a couple of Vietnam vets’ bewildered acceptance of non-cisgendered people over ignorant hate seven days a week, and twice on Sunday.
