NexStar owned WoodTV8 managers sent the TV8 news room to stop covering so many Pride events

Fallout from the memo:
The ND and AND responsible for the memo got booted yesterday. The producers who publicly criticized the internal doc got fired. And Michelle DeSelms, who was working at WOOD as a part-timer, quit when the memo was written. She didn’t need the work and thought it was a BS thing to write.

You know that Libertarians are probably the most pro-LGBTQxyz political group in existence, right?

It really doesn't matter if you keep saying this, or if it is even personally true of most libertarians. You can be libertarian and think this but your very actions, down to the core, leads to anti-LGBTQ forces getting more of what they want in all facets of society. It's the same thing with diversity, or really any marginalized group. You know what they say, if everything you believe in and support advances a nazi agenda, well, you're just a fucking nazi then. Many of them didn't personally support killing of jews but everything else they did lead to that outcome. They are still nazis, not some sub-group detached from nazism.
