Joyful family holiday celebration in the Castro yesterday. Featured visit from Santa Claus, Santa's Little Helper contest for children, songs, drag queen story hour and other fun activities. The adult only celebration was the previous week. The family celebration included Sexy Elf pageant but all contestants were clothed.

A group of about 20 bigots protested families having a good time. One carried a sign reading "I am the light of the world", rather ironic since they wanted the celebration to go dark.
 
Conservative Christians are having a shit fit because gospel singer Amy Grant is hosting her niece's same sex wedding. Ms. Grant said Jesus wants people to love others as they are.

Apparently unaware of the commandments of Republican Jesus.
 
Fuck this person.

Read this twitter thread.



Daughters of the Confederacy...why am I not surprised.

None of these books seem harmful to students.

I can attest that Beloved, Slaughterhouse Five, Kite Runner, and Go Ask Alice are all very worthy and valuable pieces of literature that belong in the library. I read them all in high school...well I read Kite Runner after but still. All great Novels.

So tired of this bullshit. Taking books off the shelves in an attempt to erase black and LGBTQ history. It's very important to learn the different perspectives of history. Good literature is meant to provoke feelings in us, sometimes, oftentimes, uncomfortable feelings. That is the nature of our humanity.

I probably learned more reading all the diverse books I read throughout my time in school, then what was taught in the classroom.

I object to Baggett and others who are trying to hide their racism and homophobia behind idiotic reasonings because there is nothing intelligent or worthwhile in their objections at all. "Poo-tee-weet. Weet, weet, weet."
 
Should children be allowed to see Nutcracker?

The role of Mother Ginger/Madame de Cirq is always danced by a man. In corset, gown, gloves, wig and big elaborate hat. On stage with children!

You forgot about the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy.

It's bad.

Very bad.
 
Drag Queen traveling Christmas show has toured the country for years, including Florida, without incident. But De Santos needs bigot vote to be president. He has announced the state will seek to punish any venue that hosts the show. A spokesperson called the performance "satanic" although she naturally never saw it.
 
As a parent of a 17 year old young women heading off to the #1 most diverse college campus in the country next summer (University of San Francisco)….. I’d like to pat myself and my wife on the back for preparing her for the journey.
She will leave our home with her head held high, aware of her surroundings. Not blind to other’s color, creed, or sexual orientations, but AWARE and ACCEPTING of them.
Parents that hide and shelter their children while growing up, from those that look, think and behave differently from them, are only setting them up for failure. It absolutely disgusts me how people think these days, and how they pass that hate down to the next generation.
You disagree with anything I just typed, YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM!
 
Also, if you can’t show any amount of respect at all to Kobe and LeBron simply because you are a Blazer fan, you should be sent to Alcatraz and set fire.

Dems indoctrinating our kids to be gay.



Did anyone else notice that the shape in the middle, at times, looked like Mr Peabody?!

And Mr Peabody was voiced by none other than Bill Scott...and he also voiced Bullwinkle, who clearly as a gay moose! I mean think about it, he hung out with a squirrel and is there anything more gay than a squirrel?!?!



I mean, Bullwinkle wasn't gay, but imagine if he was!? We'd have more proof that sugar melts in hot water and what are birds? Buy my pillows!
 
Every time I make a cup of tea, I know sugar dissolves in hot water, but I never imagined it had anything to do with transgender people. I just thought it was basic chemistry.
Shows how much you know!
 
Transgender youth health care bans have a new target: adults

Lawmakers in at least three states this year have filed legislation meant to restrict access to gender-affirming health care for individuals as old as 26, an escalation of a battle waged nationwide last year over whether minors should be able to access certain prescription medications and procedures.

Bills filed this year in Oklahoma, South Carolina and Virginia aim to bar state health care providers from recommending or administering treatments like puberty blockers, hormones and gender-affirming surgeries to patients younger than 21, signaling an aggravation in the fight over transgender health care.

Oklahoma bill filed this month would prohibit adults up to 25 from receiving gender-affirming care in one of the most extreme and restrictive bans introduced to date. The state’s proposed “Millstone Act,” which gets its name from a Bible verse about punishing adults who harm children, would also block Oklahoma’s Medicaid program from providing coverage for “gender transition procedures” to individuals younger than 26.

“I don’t think it was ever about children,” Erin Reed, an independent legislative researcher, told The Hill this week, referring to state and federal attempts to ban gender-affirming care over the past two years.

GOP legislators’ arguments against transgender health care have in the past centered around a need to protect children from alleged predatory doctors and “woke” gender ideology. Bills filed across the country last year used inflammatory and misleading rhetoric to disparage gender-affirming care for youth with titles like the “Save Adolescents from Experimentation Act” and the “Protect Children’s Innocence Act.”

“These adult bans show that that’s not what it was about,” Reed said. “It’s about banning care entirely. It’s about forcing transgender people back in the closet.”

State legislators haven’t moved away from youth health care bans entirely, and dozens of bills seeking to ban gender-affirming care exclusively for minors have already been introduced in more than 10 states this year.

Reed added that she’s skeptical whether legislators sponsoring adult health care bans this year expect those measures to pass as written. It’s likely, she said, that lawmakers are targeting older individuals to make youth health care bans appear less extreme and more palatable.

claims from so-called “gender-critical” organizations that young people should not be recognized as adults before they turn 25, when the human brain is believed to reach full maturity.

State GOP lawmakers in Missouri last year weighed extending a proposed youth health care ban to adults under 25, arguing that individuals even into their early 20s are unable to fully consent to gender-affirming interventions.

multiple inquiries have found that affirming a child or adolescent’s gender identity can improve their mental health outcomes into adulthood.

Passing laws to delay health care deemed medically necessary by most major medical associations is also dangerous, according to Dr. Meredithe McNamara, an assistant professor of pediatrics at Yale University, and runs the risk of worsening rates of anxiety, depression and suicidality among transgender youth and young adults struggling with gender dysphoria.

Nearly 20 percent of transgender and nonbinary 13- to 24-year-olds surveyed last year by The Trevor Project, a leading LGBTQ youth suicide prevention organization, said they had attempted suicide in the past year. Fewer than a third said their gender identity was affirmed at home.


For McNamara, who treats transgender youth aged 11-25, the primary concern with adult health care bans lies with individuals under 21 — or 26, in Oklahoma’s case — who are already receiving gender-affirming medical care.

“There are people currently on treatment, living as their authentic selves and experiencing relief from gender dysphoria who face forcible detransition,” she said.

None of the proposed measures include language or provisions that explicitly address transgender youth and young adults already receiving medications like hormones or puberty blockers.

Efforts to restrict gender-affirming health care for adults also risk backfiring by limiting the freedoms of individuals who can legally vote, drink a beer and go to war. They also discriminate based on sex and transgender status, according to Chase Strangio, deputy director for transgender justice at the American Civil Liberties Union LGBTQ & HIV Project, making them unconstitutional.

“It’s not about protecting anyone,” Strangio said of recent legislative efforts to restrict gender-affirming care. “It’s about an opposition to trans identity.”
