(CNN) Every year, on the first breath of summer, Pride collections emerge like a horde of brightly-colored locusts. They blanket every storefront and Instagram feed in June, promising solidarity and celebration for LGBTQ communities. "Yaas, Queen!" the shirts proclaim. "Love is love," the decorative buttons affirm. Then there are the rainbow-printed suits and shoes, which bear no actual words but are still so very, very loud.
In 1968, while we still lived in West Chester, Pennsylvania, my NIXON-LOVING, SWASTIKA-LOVING mother signed up to work for Bobby Kennedy's Campaign -- TO SPY ON THEM. But Dad was transferred that summer to Columbus, Ohio -- so that he and Mom could work with Coach Lou Holtz and his wife Beth -- to bring about the NAZI TAKEOVER of the USA.
BUT, while I worked for Tennessee Williams, late November 1981 - end of April 1982 -- I had met all of JFK's sisters, been to Pat Kennedy Lawford's Sutton Place Apartment, and got to know Jackie Kennedy Onassis BEST -- but NEVER met RFK or Teddy Kennedy. Pat and her sister, Jean Kennedy Smith, told me that Jackie NEVER let her children play with RFK's kids because they were SPOILED ROTTEN. RFK, Jr., even had a BABY ELEPHANT in his minor ZOO in their BASEMENT -- LOL!!!
>>> FUNNIEST THING THIS AFTERNOON!!! I got a call from this number, 910 being the local Area Code for Wilmington, NC and surrounding areas -- and I ARGUED with him because it was CLEAR the questions were worded idiotically to SUPPORT DONALD TRUMP'S RETURN TO POWER THIS SUMMER:

And the guy ADMITTED that his list to call was people who were registered to vote in New York State -- or at least ONCE HAD BEEN. I thought I had been while my parents lived in Elnora, NY my sophomore and junior year at Denison University -- but the age to vote was not lowered until after I first voted at age 21 -- in Cape May, NJ!!!
I DID move to NYC but only for a week or two in September 1973, but moved back to found this store after William Earl "Texas Bill" Johnson, Jr. -- of the South Philly/Wildwood Crest, NJ PROTESTANT MAFIA -- offered to BACK Hilary Russell, Charles "Chuck" (or "Beta"), Octavius Pritchard, and me in:
>>> BTW: THANKS to all my Readers who DOUBLED ALREADY-GREAT HITS to this blog -- AFTER I posted this about former Wilmington, NC Mayor DON BETZ!!!
