Escalating anti-LGBT+ hate and the terrorism it inspires

[wonko the sane?]

When asked about his party stance on stuff like puberty blockers, pierre poilievre said "I'm in favour of protecting children so they can make adult decisions as adults". So there's there's the tory party line, and they rest of them will toe it to the end.

I was starting to worry that I might recover from my latest suicidal misanthropic funk; thank you all for keeping that going.

Non-Binary Student Dies After Allegedly Violent Bathroom Fight at Owasso High School in Oklahoma - The Pride LA

High School Faces Questions After They Fail to Call First Responders or Report to Police Nex Benedict, a non-binary 16-year-old...

thepridela.com

The title is misleading. According to the article, it wasn't a fight; a kid was violently beaten, and died the next day from head trauma. The school didn't call an ambulance, didn't report the assault to the police, and hasn't commented on any of it beyond standard "the safety of our students is priority" bull.

FB friend:

I was swimming at the public pool last night and two guys came into the changeroom in tandem. The second guy's eyes were closed, and he was being led by the first guy. At first, I assumed the second guy was blind.

And then I realized that he was not blind. He could see just fine. He just didn't want to see naked men in the changeroom, and the first guy was navigating him to a position where he would be able to open his eyes and not see any naked men.

I cannot imagine going through life with such an incredibly high level of homophobia.

I saw a Reddit post where a woman talked about how her ex was such a homophobe that he was afraid to touch his own butthole, so he would never wipe properly and always had jive crumbs falling out of his pant legs.

Senator calls LGBTQ+ people 'filth,' says most don't want them here

A state senator said during a public forum in Tahlequah that LGBTQ+ people are “filth,” and that he and his constituents don’t want them in “our state.”

More kids are going to die because those in power have essentially said they're OK with it.

they're OK with it.

Pun intended?

More than OK with it, ACTIVELY SUPPORTING IT. The guy actually said that he and his constituents don't want that 'filth' in their state. He's not talking about porn, he's talking about the right for LGBTQ+ people to exist openly in the public under the guise of 'protecting children'........

Missouri Bill Makes Teachers Sex Offenders If They Accept Trans Kids' Pronouns

Provide support or information related to the "social transition" of a child and you're a felon, apparently

www.riverfronttimes.com

HB2885, filed on Thursday, February 29 by state Representative Jamie Gragg (R-Ozark), would make it a Class E felony for teachers or school counselors to aid the “social transition” of a child — meaning that a teacher "provides support, regardless of whether the support is material, information, or other resources to a child regarding social transition."

The bill defines "social transition" as:

“The process by which an individual adopts the name, pronouns, and gender expression, such as clothing or haircuts, that match the individual's gender identity and not the gender assumed by the individual's sex at birth.”

Teachers found guilty of “supporting social transition” would be placed in the same sex offender registration category as Tier 1 sex offenders, which is Missouri’s lowest level but includes possession of child porn or attempting a sexual act. And since no Missouri sex offender is permitted to be within 500 feet of a school or daycare, the bill would effectively end the teacher’s career.

This is ******* evil.

And the Pope has become a prime example of how sufficiently advanced ignorance is indistinguishable from hate.
He clearly doesn't know what the hug being trans even means, but he's still talking about it very negatively, "condemning" it, and talking about "commissioning studies" which sounds like a prelude to pretending the Church has some sort of authority on the subject.

I wish we didn't have to care what an old man who thinks he's speaking on behalf of ancient dead men thinks. Unfortunately, a lot of people are now gonna act like it's justification for their own hate.

 

[wonko the sane?]

If it's any consolation: they don't care what the old man speaking on behalf of the ancient dead men says or thinks; it's literally just about the justification to hate.

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

Oh, it's absolutely just more gas on the fire. I'm just sick of all of it.

Tennessee lawmakers want to ban Pride flags, but not Nazi ones. This doesn't make sense.

If passed, this bill will make history as one of the most logically unsound and obviously unconstitutional bills passed in recent history.

Haha, well yeah. They SALUTE the nazi flag.
