A JD By Any Other Name…

“All of my gay friends were like, ‘Honey, I saw your text messages. 
That’s it?!’  They go, ‘Oh my God, if people hacked into
Grindr
and put Grindr chats public, none of us would have jobs anymore.”
 
Armie Hammer tells Bill Maher reactions to his so-called scandalous texts. 
This begs the question – what does it take to become one of Armie’s gay friends?

Being in Europe, you get a very different view of American politics.  Everyone I’ve talked to was worried that Joe Biden would drop out of the election – which is ultimately what has happened.  Of course, these were the same people who applauded QEII for not resigning, who elected a hooker to the Italian Parliament, and approved of a French president who showed up places with his wife and mistress.  Be that as it may, I decided to take a look at J.D. Vance.  I was intrigued when I heard that his birth name was James Donald Bowman.  I assumed that’s where “JD” came from.  While Bowman was his birth father, his mother’s third husband was Hamel – and while in college, JD used that as his last name.  Fine.  At some point, he fell out with Mr. Hamel, and came up with Vance – which I mistakenly believed was an homage to Vivian!  Turns out “Vance” is his mother’s mother’s maiden name.  In fact, his maternal grandparents were strongly involved in his upbringing.  “Finally, the same name as the family to which I belonged,” which sounds kinda sweet.  Plus, really, what do I care?  It’s his business.  Except he’s not quite so accepting when it comes to other people changing their name.  In fact, he’s been vocally opposed to transgender people changing their name.  In fact, he’s against most trans rights, women’s rights, gay rights, reproductive rights, and any gun control.  He’s also been known to call Donald Trump Hitler” in private.  So, I guess he’s not all bad!
