But he later transferred back to Columbia to earn his law degree after a dispute with Texas administrators over their treatment of black students. It was a demonstration of his concern for discrimination that would lead him to become involved with Human Rights Watch and prompt him to push Hollywood studios to provide same-sex benefits, landing him on the cover of the gay magazine The Advocate in 1991.

Real estate mogul taunts ex-wife with 42-foot-tall photo of new one‘Ex’ was a reference to Macklowe’s first wife, Linda. They were married for more than 50 years before a public breakup in 2016 that preceded the divorce trial That picture is inversely proportional to the size of his 'manhood.' This is like Trudeau taunting us with fake apology after fake apology when all we want is his resignation. Sadly, he’s still corrupt and still self righteous and has no plans to change. His ex-wife should do the same with a picture of a dog, using the caption: It didn't take much to replace him!

2020 Democrats line up behind cannabis legalizationA growing list of Democratic presidential contenders want the U.S. government to legalize marijuana, reflecting a nationwide shift as more Americans look favourably on cannabis. Better work on gun control first, who knows what the black market brings Is it better to legalise Marjiuana, or to decriminalise, possession of Marjiuana? There is a big difference.
