It is Time To Take It Down

In Boise, Idaho, there is a big cross on Table Rock Mountain just above the downtown.  It is hideous. It is ugly.

It was created to subjugate the LGBT Community in Boise. It all started in 1955. The local newspaper, Idaho Statesman, was the one who riled it up and escalated to a point where it destroyed more than 100 men's livelihoods based on what? Rumors. That they were gay. Many lives were ruined, courtesy of that local papers.

Go to Hulu and watch "The Fall of 1955" which explained everything about what is wrong with Boise. 

Eventually, Idaho Statesman, the state's prominent newspaper apologized for what they did. But the damages and the ramifications were awful as fuck.

In 1956, the local organization whom I do not WANT to name because they are so stupid to begin with - they bought a tract of land on Table Rock Mountain and built a fucking cross to remind the folks that the LGBTs are not welcomed in this town. 

It is time to take it down. Knock it down. Destroy that damned ugly cross down.

That cross is what prevented Boise from going forward and rocket as one of All-American cities. Right now, that cross is stifling the city.

So ... take it down, folks.  

Let's do it.

Cheers,
