01.05.18 █ dallasvoice 9 Marriage equality plaintiff runs for state Senate

Mark Phariss’ suit against Texas taught him a number of lessons he says he’ll use in his race for public office

DAVID TAFFET | Senior Staff Writer [email protected]

ark Pha- riss said he learned in his fight for mar- riage equality that Texans are a lot more compassion- ate, loving and caring than current Texas leaders would have you believe. “Texans don’t care who I live with or mar- ry, but whether I can do the job,” he said. The job he was talking about is state sen- ator. Just before the December filing deadline, Phariss decided to use what he learned during the marriage equality fight as well as some of the name recognition he gained and turn that into a race for an open state Senate seat from Collin County. “I also learned a little bit how to deal with media,” he said. “That’s not some- thing I’d ever done before. Being in front of a camera petrified me.” And, he said, he learned to speak on mic to people who didn’t necessarily agree with him in a respectful way, which is a skill he hopes to bring to the Legislature. The race has gotten a lot of attention since Phariss entered. “Our filing generat- ed a lot of publicity,” he said. But his two Republican opponents are, arguably, equally well known.

And then she didn’t die, so she “forced” (or Cassie fan-girls out on ‘Star Wars’ Skywalked?) her way back onto the ship? That scene annoyed me — just fuck all science. (Yes Happy New Year, everybody.

Lit- Dear Kyle, Bitch, at least he got you a gift! blah. Good luck, Cassie. Dearest Cassie, I have a close friend that is constantly in need of something. He is always short on his rent and needs help from his friends to pay it. He apparently has the worst luck because he is constantly complaining that someone has stolen money out of his wallet yet is out all the time buying drinks. It’s strange — he will be out all weekend, but come Monday he complains that someone has stolen all of his money. His electricity is turned off every other month, and so is his cell phone. Between my- self and other friends in our group, we have lent him thousands. We know we will never see that money, but I don’t know what to do now. I don’t want to see him end up on the streets, but I am sick of feeling responsible and feeling used by him. What would you do in my situation? Thank you ... Dear dot dot dot, You need to toughen up and tell that bitch “no.” You are his friend, not his parent. He is not your responsibility. It is time for him to grow up. If he knows he can always rely on y’all to help him out and pay his bills, why would he change? It sounds like he is using you all and playing you like a fiddle. I get that you care about your friend, but you have got to put a stop to any and all financial help you are giving to him. He needs to keep his ass at home and save his money. It sounds to me like he may have a drug or alcohol problem. If that is the case, encourage him to seek help with that. Stop allowing yourself to be used. Sometimes the best thing you can do for a friend is walk away. Let him sink or swim. Be his friend, be his emotional support — not his ATM. Good luck! Remember to always love more, bitch less and be fabulous! XOXO, Cassie Nova. If you have a question of comment, email it to [email protected].
