We thought it’d be a picnic under a Clinton presidency and that Trump’s basket of deplorables would scamper away to lick their wounds, but after Trump’s win, they have become emboldened to unleash their tantrums upon the world.
Today, writer Zach Stafford joins us to talk about all the fanatical beasts crawling out of the woodwork and clogging up our social media feeds with their racist rants.

Even as we face fanatical beasts doing awful things in Trump’s name, I an relishing them getting excoriated in social media and them losing their jobs. We have a strong tool, we will continue to use it against the haters.
I immediately picked up on the gay subtext, and I feel that it is supportive of gay expression, because it is depicting closetedness as destructive. I didn’t feel uncomfortable at all. Look at priests in the Catholic church expressing their sexuality in unhealthy ways because their sexuality is suppressed by the church. Look at how many closeted LGBT people in middle-America kill themselves. And, yes, look at how many closeted LGBT people have had unprotected sex in back alleys and get STIs. The closet is deadly. I think that is an important message. FBAWTFT is very sensitive to how destructive the closet has been to our community. Be out, be loud, be proud witches and wizards.
