Ann Rostow: Quiz 2025 - San Francisco Bay Times
"Question One Kambree Nelson is ... a) a federal judge, who called legal arguments by the Trump Justice Department in favor of ousting transgender service members "soaked in animus and dripping with pretext." b) a "new media reporter" in the White House press gallery who believed the Democrats had hidden, or maybe destroyed, the moon. c) a crazy mother who sent a death threat to her kid's teacher after the teacher initiated a project that included the rainbow flag."
"Question Two In Budapest this year ... a) a satiric gay rights group called the Two-tailed Dog Party took to the streets in grey outfits calling for "death to colors," and announcing that "being uniform is cool." b) an anti-gay mayoral candidate beat out his moderate opponent 50 percent to 49 percent. c) after President Viktor Orban outlawed pride celebrations, roughly a quarter of a million people held the largest Pride rally in the Hungarian nation's history."
2025 is described as dominated by a cabal of small, cruel men answering to a Caligula-like president, prompting protest, standing up for right, and voting. Hope is expressed for 2026, anticipating declining Trump polls, more Republican lawmakers rebelling, and a national mood shifting back toward sanity with more optimistic coverage. An annual assessment quiz follows, asking readers about events including Kambree Nelson's identity with four options, multiple happenings in Budapest such as a mass Pride rally and satiric protests, and which Trump administration attacks on the LGBTQ community actually occurred in 2025.
