Gay Thursday

I discovered this evening that my backyard might be responsible for the stunning victories of the LGBT movement over the past 10 years. **[The Stryker Corporation out of little Kalamazoo, Michigan, is largely to blame](https://www.firstthings.com/web-exclusives/2020/01/the-billionaires-behind-the-lgbt-movement?ref=thedailyeudemon.com)**. It's a stunning papertrail of money. If accurate, it's also disturbing. We always knew the American mind was weak and malleable. (Question: What kind of person goes from being repelled by homosexual activity to supporting gay marriage in ten years? Answer: A vapid person.)

> Jon Stryker is the grandson of Homer Stryker, an orthopedic surgeon who founded the Stryker Corporation. Based in Kalamazoo, Michigan, the Stryker Corporation sold $13.6 billion in surgical supplies and software in 2018\. Jon, heir to the fortune, is gay. In 2000 he created the Arcus Foundation, a nonprofit serving the LGBT community, because of his own experience coming out as homosexual. Arcus has given more than $58.4 million to programs and organizations doing LGBT-related work between 2007 and 2010 alone, making it one of the largest LGBT funders in the world. Stryker gave more than $30 million to Arcus himself in that three-year period, through his stock in Stryker Medical Corporation.

I guess it's thanks to Kalamazoo, Michigan, that I can read sentences like this one that **[I saw in the *New York Times* a few hours ago](https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/21/dining/iliana-regan-milkweed-inn.html?ref=thedailyeudemon.com)**:

> Ms. Regan is a 40-year-old chef from Indiana with a Michelin star who last summer published “Burn the Place,” perhaps the definitive Midwest drunken-lesbian food memoir.

The "definitive" Midwest drunken-lesbian memoir? Is that right next to the definitive East coast drunken-Rastafarian pedophile memoir? Or maybe the definitive Northern stoned-midget wrestler memoir? How many such memoirs have been published? I have no idea, but I can't believe it's much more than, say, one.

Oh well. Our gay universe continue to rotate. Until Brews You Can Use tomorrow . . .
