Page 22 Welcome to the March issue of Di- versity Rules Magazine. It's hard to believe we are almost through a quarter of the new year already! Time flies does it not? is month Diverisity Rules Mag- azine is proud to have a return in- terviewee, Tom D'Angora. Tom first appeared in Diversity Rules Magazine in 2012 with the cast of Naked Boys Singing. is month he is with us talking about the un- fortunate 2016 election and the role he played in it as Hillary Clin- ton's LGBT Outreach Grassroots Coordinator. Tom's interview in this issue focuses on this role and his thoughts moving forward in these now very turbulent and cha- otic political and social times. President Trump and his evil min- ions have proven already with only 6 weeks under their belt that they are a clear danger to the personal security of millions of Americans, as well as the nation, generally. As Tom states in his interview, we must certainly be diligent and fight the good fight. We are fight- ers! Never forget what Hillary Clinton said, "Never stop believ- ing that fighting for what's right is worth it." NEVER give up the fight folks! We, as a nation, have way too much at stake to not fight this horrid man and the forces that propel his popularity among white supremacists and others that want to see a totalitarian form of government brought to the United States. With that said, as usual, this month's issue is full of great com- mentary, features, and other great human interest stories that will surely captivate you. It's also the time of the Irish! Have a great Saint Patrick's Day. Even if you aren't Irish, have a good one anyway. We need such fun "holi- days" to take our minds to other more pleasant thoughts.
