On this edition of LTAR: Pride and Prejudice and The Big Gay Backlash Show

We must adjust our preamble to our Pride and Prejudice show; to acknowledge the current threats of violence, the actual violence against the LGBTQ community

Some religious leaders called for death and books being banned that address the LGBTQ community rights that were fought for and won; life stories to be banned in school and public libraries. There is a backlash-May Li provides us with an analysis and redirected us to: Resmaa Menakem- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omyzEvVvjog&t=677s- Resmaa Menakem Breaks Down Deep Rooted Trauma Linked To Racism, Healing Practices + More

Hope is a Thing with Feather: Barack Obama is halfway to an EGOT.

The former president won an Emmy Award to go with his two Grammys.

Obama won the best narrator Emmy for his work on the Netflix documentary series, “Our Great National Parks.”

The five-part show, which features national parks from around the globe, is produced by Barack and Michelle Obama’s production company, “Higher Ground.”

Barack Obama is the second president to have an Emmy. Dwight D. Eisenhower was given a special Emmy Award in 1956.

Barack Obama previously won Grammy Awards for his audiobook reading of two of his memoirs, “The Audacity of Hope” and “Dreams From My Father.” Michelle Obama won her own Grammy for reading her audiobook in 2020.

EGOT refers to a special category of entertainers who have won an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar, and a Tony. To date, 17 people have done it.

So, while one former President is lying about the 2020 election, another President is aging gracefully-Jimmy Carter just turned 98 years old, another former president , George Bush is hiding out on his ranch due to starting an unnecessary war in the Middle East

-former President Barack Obama continues to promote the beauty of America and what is best in the American People.
