Ruth B. Ginsburg is my focus today.. Would be nice to spend a couple of minutes thinking about her and for her fight for equality for all. Especially equality for women and the LGBTQ Community.. My heart is shattered by her death. Well, since we're not supposed to post anything political, I'm mourning in private.

Totally OT, but what's with all the soap opera/show whatever tweets down below? Can Yaman? That's all I've been seeing. I was wondering about that too??? Really filling that feed! Although I just scroll by the posts that are not of interest or in a language I am not fluent in. Does not seem like these posts are from usual posters. I was just curious what it was about; twitter seemed excited about this person/show? From googling, it looks like a show of some kind, or a movie. The guy is very handsome...yum.

I believe that It's American.. What RBG did for women is unrefuttable.. If It's the LGBTQ equality that bothers some.. Edited by Q3.

My heart is shattered by her death. I am really upset too. But we can't talk about some things that are of interest (I understand why) so we are stuck with old/older straight women stalking a gay man's personal relationships, lol. I am all for Adam having a personal interest but it would be nice to wait until he has something he wants to share about who he is dating. But giving him some privacy does not seem to be an option so here we are yet again.

My heart is shattered by her death. Well, since we're not supposed to post anything political, I'm mourning in private. I share your grief over this loss but want to thank you for the comment about keeping ATop out of politics and about Adam. It is the only way this forum will survive the next couple of months of the US election and associated polarization. That said, RBG had a significant role in establishing gender equality for women and for LGBTQ rights. Justice Ginsburg joined Justice Kennedy’s majority decisions in many landmark cases in LGBTQ civil rights history, including Romer v. Evans in 1996, Lawrence v. Texas in 2003, Windsor v. U.S. in 2013 and Obergefell v. Hodges in 2015. In addition, she joined the majority in Bostock v. Clayton County in 2020. In her private life, Justice Ginsburg has performed many same-sex marriage ceremonies -- the first Supreme Court justice to do so. www.hrc.org/press-releases/human-rights-campaign-remembers-u-s-supreme-court-justice-ruth-bader-ginsburgSo, I believe that her work and accomplishments are dirrectly related to Adam (OK to post about). Just please refrain from discussing the related political situation.

She also fought for equal pay...there are places that maybe we can all come together and say thank you for what there is agreement on.

I think my deepest grief is about losing yet another person with honor and integrity, as with John Lewis before her, and Elijah Cummings before him, etc etc etc.
There seem to be so few people like that these days.
