I get it. But it's a stamp for a former First Lady. The month they chose to unveil it is unfortunate MissB Jun 2022 #5

given the history of the Reagans in general.

But... it isn't meant to be a slam on Pride month. Just really crappy timing.

And of course DeJoyless is invited. He's still the Postmaster General and the event is about a stamp.

Plus doing this during the starting week of Gay Pride Month, I mean come the hell on.



First Lady Nancy Reagan befriended gay men, then betrayed them

The legacy of the Reagan presidency’s callous handling of the early HIV/AIDS crisis still haunts us today

Graciously greet everyone with dignity and respect and keep her feelings to herself while engaging in an honors service for a former FLOTUS - even when she has to host that horrid troll, DeJoy and the former 1st lady was a wicked wench of the third degree and probable mentor for Ginni Thomas.

Oops, did I say that?
