Michaelangelo Signorile wrote a book, iirc, commenting that the SCOTUS ruling regarding gay marriage did not mean the fight was over. Brown v Bd. of Ed didn't mean that the civil rights struggle for African-Americans was over. Oh, many white people think that it is over but they are wrong or bigots or both. The same applies to Gays. And it will continue to apply as long as SCOTUS decisions legitimize, intentionally or unintentionally, religious doctrine as a basis for providing goods and services in the public square. It damages people and damages religion. We do not want the SCOTUS deciding what is or isn't correct religious belief nor do we want religious belief being the basis for who gets what goods and services. You provide goods and services in the public square then you provide them to everyone, period.
And unrelated, I do not take unlicensed taxi services which is all these so-called ride sharing services are. Fuck Uber and Lyft. But Uber first because their founder was an asshat.
Well, we already know that. But Signorile is of my generation.
I live in a city where I can no longer afford a car. I take Lyft because I have never once had a Lyft (or Uber) pass me up like cabs
still do.
I suppose when I get in the car with a woman and we share a kiss, THEN the gloves come off
. But that's the same with the cabbies and catching cabs in the city is
still an issue for African Americans after the 4 generations we have had automobiles on the road.
And overall, Lyft is much safer for me as a woman traveling alone at night in a major city than a cab, or public transportation. And NO WAY IN HELL would I take a cab out to suburbia.
Standard disclaimer: doesn't matter if you wear KMart or JCPenney or Brooks Brothers; doesn't matter if you look like Steph or LeBron or Manute Bol, we all look alike to certain types...
