Beau of the Fifth Column often says the younger generations won’t tolerate the hate and bigotry of the ones pushing anti-LGBTQIA / racist ideas. Yes the right wants to remove all mention and safety for kids that are different and return to an assumed superiority of white people. But they are missing the point. It was like that in the past. In the 1950s our society was just like they are trying hard to return to. Yet we progressed. Social acceptance of people being different from each other and the right to live openly as themselves happened. The right thinks it is because they did not push back hard enough to stop it. The right thinks they should have used violence from the start.
But that is not true, there was always hard push back and violence by those in authority and by churches. Ask any gay kid growing up during those times. I grew up understanding I was gay in the time of Anita Bryant, who was the early version of the hate group started by Chaya Raichik’s Libs of TikTok. Think of the abuse the police dished out even into the late 1990s. I remember when Ron had the bar, we had to have an unbreakable material used for the windows because they were being broken as soon as they were repaired. We had to have a bunch of the bigger better fighters assisting people leaving to make sure no one was assaulted and beaten up by groups of haters. I well tell you, the most awesome thing I have ever seen was a lesbian kicking the ass of 3 redneck assholes who attacked a small gay guy leaving the bar. She taught them a lesson they did not soon forget. We fought back then and I honestly thought we were beyond that hate and society was a safe space for the LGBTQIA. Where LGBTQIA kids could be happy in schools knowing they were safe and accepted. But the haters are bringing it all back. We must not let them indoctrinate future generations into hate and bigotry. We must not let them drive kids back into the closet in fear and shame of who they are. We must not let them remove the LGBTQIA from society and public view. We are here and should be equal, we have our rights and they should be enforced for us. Hugs
Photo: ShutterstockAt Oak Park High School in Kansas City over the weekend, students elected a trans homecoming queen. Tristan Young bested four other nominees to take the crown.
And Libs of TikTok’s Chaya Raichik managed to find the only two parents who are mad about it.
“I’m appalled by NKC Schools’ continued support of the LGBT agenda,” whines one parent for Raichik in an email, referring to the North Kansas City School District.
“They not only indoctrinate children, but they are placing certain student populations over others.”
In another stilted statement from a second aggrieved parent, she writes: “As a woman, it breaks my heart to see these girls get passed over and a man stealing what is rightfully theirs.”
Then she adds, also as a woman, “I’m broken-hearted because I know the students voted for him.”
Raichik was clearly desperate to gin up the usual outrage over the student-led vote and failed miserably.
The queer-addled activist, who’s lately tried to refashion herself as an “independent journalist,” posted the “story” with a headline declaring, “Male crowned homecoming queen, beating out four other girls,” which clarified for trans supporters everywhere that Young is just one of the girls.
“Not the point but Chaya is writing at a sub-middle school level, lol” posted one amused commenter.
NKC Schools shared their congratulations for Young in a tweet with photos from the event.
In one, last year’s winner passes the sash to the new homecoming queen. In another, Young’s parents stand by beaming; her dad sports a Kansas City Chiefs Pride hat.
Young’s election in the revered high school ritual was met with a sense of betrayal by online hacks dismayed that a reliably red state like Missouri could harbor open-minded kids.
“Who’s to blame here?” whined transphobic 5th place finisher Riley Gaines, who tied with trans swimmer Lia Thomas in a collegiate meet last year.
Gaines tried sarcasm to make her poorly conceived point in on X: “So stunning & brave🤴🏻✨ Another reminder to all girls that men make the best women. I wonder if a female will win homecoming king or if it’s understood that both of these spots are reserved for males.”
The best reactions to the news of Young’s election were reserved for her supporters.
“Trans women have a biological advantage in being popular with their high school classmates now,” posted Media Matters’ Ari Drennen.
“Isn’t the Homecoming Queen usually elected by the students? Why does Chaya Raichik hate democracy?” @nikicaga asked.
And said Interpretive Dan @StanChips: “BREAKING: Kids are cool now.”
