Dear Mower County Fair,

YOU sided with one side, the side of made-up hate. The #AmericanLegion, WHO HAD NO PROBLEM WITH THIS FOR YEARS, pushed a FAKE Republican narrative.

You could've challenged hate. Instead, you accepted it. https://www.startribune.com/a-drag-queen-called-bingo-at-the-county-fair-this-year-she-wasnt-asked-back/600298220/

I attended Tennessee Boys State in the summer of 1996. Met some amazing people, some of whom I still have contact with. This photo popped up in my memories today and I visited the current Boys State website.

In 1996, I was the "Tennessee Boys State Billiards Champion". Sounds impressive; not really. There weren't many of us playing. Every boy must pariticipate in an atheltic event. They've replaced the (non-athletic) billiards with cornhole. Good enough.
