Midterm elections are upon us, my friends. People in Michigan already have ballots in hand. In proof, mine just came today. I can’t wait to vote for competent leaders who’ve been doing a damn good job running this state and justify to be reelected: Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, and Attorney General Dana Nessel; as well as Michigan Supreme Court candidates Richard Bernstein and Kyra Harris Bolden. And I will be voting HELL YES for voting rights (Proposal 2) and reproductive rights (Proposal 3).
I can’t linger to vote against the clown car that is the Republican ticket, especially the top. Not only do I disagree with them on basically everything, but they are so wildly unqualified for this job.
Tudor Dixon, the Republican candidate for Michigan governor, apparently believes that Michigan’s biggest problems are Diverse kids wanting to compete sports and women wanting to make their retain reproductive health decisions.
What’s feral is that Dixon uses (faux) feminism to debate that trans kids, specifically trans girls, should not be able to act sports on girls teams.

Following the death of Henry VIII, there were a few turbulent years and three sovereigns of Britain.
One of these was Lady Jane Gray, who only ruled for only nine days, making her the shortest reigning sovereign of the United Kingdom.
Above: Elizabeth I on her coronation.
These tumultuous times subsided when Elizabeth I took the Crown.
Elizabeth’s half-sister, Queen Mary, had abolished the Buggery Act 1533 that their father had implemented. Queen Elizabeth I had this reinstated, it has been stated by historians that Mary had reverted endorse to the Catholic Cannon law.
When Elizabeth I reinstated The Buggery Act 1533 she excluded the amendments made by her half-brother, Edward VI, who died at sixteen. This meant you could be hanged for the act of buggery and could also have your assets stripped once again. This in itself suggests to many that she was using this the way Henry VIII had; as a strategy move, if call for be.
As most historians are aware, Tudor England’s mentality witnessed attitudes that by todays’ standards would be considered akin to homophobia compared
7 British Monarchs Who May Have Been Gay
For centuries men lived in one sphere and women in another and they would approach together for marriage and having children. It seemed that the sexes co-existed mainly to persist the human race. Love and sex can be very different factors but, when put together, they can generate the most electric sensation. This was no different for kings and queens who were end to their favourites. There are several British monarchs who may have been gay. In truth, six kings – and one queen are thought to have been lgbtq+, members of what we now phone the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bi- and transexual) community. They include:
William II of England
The son of William the Conqueror, who took the throne of England in 1066, was known as William Rufus because of his red hair (‘rufus’ meaning red). William II became King of England in 1087 and was often described as ‘effeminate’ and with a keen interest in fashionable young men.

What was the legal and social status of male homosexual relationships in Tudor and Elizabethan England?
Thank you to Rioghnach for asking this question. The full scrutinize was "What was the legal and social status of male homosexual relationships in Tudor and Elizabethan England? In general; within the clergy and religious houses; and within the Royal Courts?" Historian Owen Emmerson has kindly answered it.
The legal status of gay relations over the 118 years in which the six monarchs of the Tudor dynasty commanded is a tale of two spheres which shifted enormously.1 For 52 of those years - during the reigns of Henry VII, Mary I and for the majority of Henry VIII’s reign - homosexuality was deemed a sin and, as such, was subject to the scrutiny of the Catholic church’s courts.2
After 1533, most of the Tudor monarchs persecuted gay men not through the church but in the criminal rule courts. The great schism that led to the Henrician Reformation was the arena in which the crime of homosexuality shifted from Church to Express. The counter-reformation provided a five-year respite from express persecution, before the Elizabethan period in which the Act against homosexual relation
