Living in the navy-bluest part of a blue state within the Washington, DC Beltway provides a warm, soapy bubble of liberal like-mindedness.
Separate incidents of violence and a bomb threat recently punctured this seemingly impenetrable liberal bubble. These recent events underscore the lack of immunity to hate, even in a zero-tolerance community like mine.
As a counterweight to Florida’s “war on woke,” it’s hard to go out for a drink or a meal around here without encountering a drag show, drag bingo, or drag trivia. It’s enough to make the MAGAs choke on their Bud Lites.
Like a good liberal, I support drag queens and everyone on the LGTBQ+ spectrum.
