JJ's Quote of the Day

Comparisons should not be with made with who you were, it's who you are going to become.

Hamburger Mary's

Last night, one of CBS's "Undercover Boss" shows featured a place called

 "Hamburger Mary's".  In the show owners and executives go undercover to see

how their companies are really running and if they need

 to make improvements. During last night's show, one of the owners even went undercover 

as a drag queen at one of their LGBT friendly eateries/bar. From the companies web site:

Ashley Wright (Co Owner) on Left

Hamburger Mary’s offers a flamboyant dining experience,

 along with nightly entertainment from our "Dining with the Diva's" drag shows

 and charity “HamBingo Mary’s” to MaryOke-Karaoke and trivia nights.

As fun as all of that sounds, my whole reason for writing this post has to do with the

 way the two twin brothers Ashley and Brandon Wright who own the company are trying

to rebuild it.

In last nights show, the owners went undercover with a whole rainbow of employees.

They started with a fairly obvious straight server trainer, went to a gorgeous drag 

performer/trainer who was transgender, a lesbian bar manager and finally a gay server.

The gay server in particular was singing the praises of Hamburger Mary's as a safe

place to work...which is huge as we know.

Remember too, if you live close to one of Hamburger Mary's venues, Support them

Because the Wright Brothers are doing the Wright thing for the LGBT  community!!!!!

JJ's Sunday Edition

Ker Plunk! Listen closely, another Sunday Edition is hitting your virtual front porch! First, the weather. It's sunny and chilly here in Southwestern Ohio with highs barely getting into the 60's today. Excellent day for a hot cup o joe (coffee) or Chai Tea. Let's get started.

Page One: the Week that Was or Wasn't: On the entertainment scene, transgender woman Laverne Cox just made trans history again with her new series Doubt.  Cox will play a series regular character in the upcoming CBS legal drama Doubt, making her the first transgender actor to portray a transgender main character on a broadcast series.
Of course on the national scene, the sweeping revisions and backing by the Federal Government has led to a firestorm of protest-and support. There are lawyers everywhere sharpening their pencils waiting to make a great paycheck on upcoming litigation-thanks to the morons in North Carolina and Mississippi. Although approximately 28 other states have similar bills proposed by legislators opposed to tackling real problems.
Page Two: Yesterday's Coffee - Opinion. Perhaps you have noticed several "archived" posts from 2013. I personally think they had more interest than my current efforts for a couple of reasons. First of all, the world was "bright,shiny and new" as I was basically really feeling the results of HRT for the first time. Plus, I was just beginning to feel the warmth from a new circle of friends Liz and I were part of. As I found out later, a couple of them have transgender family. Being around them has made life so much richer and I have become so much closer to stealth than anytime in my life. In fact, I believe my next mini series of posts will be about stealth and the misconceptions surrounding it, from my angle.
 Page Three: Oh No She Did-unt!: As it turned out, the stories of Caillyn Jenner de-transitioning were fake according to her friend Jennifer Finney Boylan: "There it was, big as hell, CBS News reporting that Caitlyn Jenner was de-transtioning.  And there was I, as I often am while poised at my computer, clutching at my forehead muttering, “Jesus H. Christ in a chicken basket.” And: "The source for the story, 

interestingly, was a fellow writing an unauthorized biography of the Kardashians. He had not spoken to Jenner personally.  And yet CBS — the House of Murrow! — figured, what the hey.  No one from the network called Jenner for a comment.  By mid day, after a statement from her publicist, CBS changed its online headline to “Caitlyn Jenner’s Rep Responds to De-Transitioning Report.”  The whole sad baloney sandwich was tossed on the internet compost heap by day’s end, and with it, I suppose, my interest should have waned.

Luv ya!!!!
