RIP Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Post by Diana Michelle »

Agree with her or not one cannot dispute Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a trail blazer and any female can and should be thankful for her never ending fight for women's rights. In a way her broad view of rights are the basis for many of the rights the LGBT community enjoy today.

One thing I hope that is never forgotten about her is her friendship with Anthony Scalia. In spite of being diametrically opposed most of time they forged a friendship that went far beyond politics. They should always stand as a shining light that just because you disagree there are areas where we can agree and forge a relationship and even a friendship from.

Her death felt like a body blow to me. I've never had that reaction before (and I live in the UK).

It was definitely a gut punch to many Anthony. I know there are a few out there cheering at her passing but the least they can show some respect

I admit to shedding more than a few tears when I heard of RBG's passing. In spite of her small stature she was a giant among her peers and everyone who believes in equality should mourn her passing. She will be truly missed and while there are some who can take her place not sure any are who can fill her shoes.

How do you replace The Notorious RBG?
