For those supporting anti-trans bathroom bills
These are trans men.
These men would be required to use the women’s bathrooms. These bathroom bills do cause harm because it forces all people who do not fit a gender stereotype to prove they are the gender of the bathroom they want to use. Not manly enough for the maga crowd, these bills let them challenge you going to the men’s bathroom. A woman who doesn’t look feminine enough will be challenged and assaulted by the maga crowd, who think they get to determine who uses what bathroom. Is the next thing genital inspectors at bathroom entrances. But the real goal of these maga republicans is to drive the trans people from the public. Then they will try to get rid of the rest of the LGBTQI+. Hugs
Ben Shapiro’s Most Insane Anti Trans Take Yet
This is one of the best dissection of how stupid the rights anti-trans arguments are. If you are anti-trans and want to educate yourself then watch this. If you just want to see how damn dishonest the right has to be to promote their Puritan old fashion idea of what is gender / how each gender must behave / clothing they must wear, please watch this. Also I will remind everyone first that gender acceptable clothing has changed throughout history. Hugs
Gender Criticals And White Nationalism
Please consider making a donation to Gendered Intelligence, a trans-led and trans involved grassroots UK organisation with three key departments. One provides education and training for professionals, organisations, schools, colleges and other educational settings. Another department runs a number of youth and community services where young gender variant people can meet, socialise and learn as well as get 1 to 1 support from a trans youth worker. The third GI department focuses on Public Engagement, running campaigns that challenge misinformation, provide consultations and interviews and more. https://genderedintelligence.co.uk/su…
Shapiro Calls For Criminalizing “Men Wearing Dresses”
This is Ben Shapiro. The head of and the leader of the Daily Wire, one of the biggest right wing media outlets. His hosts include people like Matt Walsh, Candace Owens, Michael Knowles, Jordan Peterson, Dennis Prager all who have either called for the elimination, deportation, or making completely illegal the LGTBTQ+ community / people. This is one of the most watched and quoted right wing media, and Shapiro is wrongly considered one of the right’s intellectual. Several of these people spoke at the CPAC events calling for the extermination of gay and trans people, and all media about the LGBTQ+ community.
I was talking in the comments the other day about what the republicans / the right want to achieve with these drag bans, what their goal is. It is not to regulate adult entertainment, burlesque, and strip shows with drag performers as those laws already exist. This is not about normal obscenity such as showing genitals, as again those are already well regulated.
What is being regulated out of existence, outlawed in public, is what Nan calls cross-dressing and what right means when they say drag. They want to make it illegal for a man to dress as a woman, to wear a dress / skirt or a woman to wear clothing normally assigned stereotypically to males. It is about enforcing stereotypes of what is a woman’s role and what is a man’s role even to what clothing each role typically wore then. Remember the comedy shows in the 1970’s / 1980s where the laugh line was a man wearing an apron? Well here is Shapiro just saying what the goal is. Flat out removing trans people from society and public view. Flat out trying to legislate what a gender can wear based on old stereotypes of gender roles. The goal is to return to a time when females were in not in men’s jobs, doing men’s work, when women were home in time to make dinner for their husband and wait on him. All to protect the children, remember?
First they came for the trans people, but I was not trans … then they came for … Hugs
“Should wearing dresses and skirts be illegal for men in public? If so, should wearing pants for women in public be illegal in public? Well, pants not so much because there is a female version of pants that is nearly indistinguishable in many cases from male pants. But men wearing traditional female clothing in public – I think that there is a case that local communities should be able to stop that. Sure, I mean, we have local laws about being naked or indecent exposure, at least we used to.” – Ben Shapiro.

“Tennessee’s A Drag” – a mini special from Drew Morgan about the DRAG QUEEN ban in Tennessee
This is both funny and informative. Hugs
Drag Queens I remember from when the republicans thought they were funny also. This is what drag is. This is the villain of the right that they claim is sexualizing and grooming kids. Notice the last set with the maga king

Of course there is no racism in slavery based on race / skin color.
It’s Biblical. God didn’t want Adam and Eve to know anything and forbade them from “eating from the Tree of Knowledge”.
They’re testing the waters. Trans people are easy targets for the theofascists. I guarantee you that 80-90% of Americans know absolutely nothing about trans people, their lives and their challenges.
The theofascists’ ultimate target is the LGB community.
They see what other nations like Russia and Hungary are doing, and are envious.
This is exactly what happened in Nazi Germany and fascist Italy. Creeping restrictions on civil rights and criminalizing the existence of ‘suspect’ groups of people. We have to fight back and beat this before it spreads to other states.
The federal government is going to have to intervene. They did it in the civil rights movement for black people and they are going to have to find their will and courage to do it again. These people mean us harm and will not stop
This has always been the goal – not “protecting children,” but eliminating trans people from society, with an eye toward eliminating gays, lesbians and bisexuals too. Trans people are just the easiest target, and going after them makes for an effective divide and conquer strategy if you can get homocons and TERFs on board.
Anyone with a working brain knew this was going to happen. Like other people have said, this whole “think of the children” BS was just a cover! Now they are coming after trans adults. After that they will come after gay rights! I guarantee it! I’m sure interracial marriage will be on the chopping block too. These fascists will stop at nothing to get the right wing theocracy they crave. We must fight these asshats tooth and nail!

DeSantis: Florida Had No “State Pride” Until I Was Gov
DeathSantis has made the state of Florida racist bigoted white supremacist religious right conservative maga paradise. He has made minority rule of pushing hate and intolerance against anyone not following the maga Christian talking points. It is not enough for these people to publicly live their maga Christian right hateful lives they demand they get to use those Christian maga conservative views against others, they feel entitled to attack those they feel are not following their church doctrines and they attack those that allow or are tolerant of others. They feel that every one around them must act according to their regressive, backwards beliefs. Hugs
Really? Looks like it’s been at least 20 years.
Florida pride. https://wusfnews.wusf.usf.e…
Many elected leaders like U.S. Sen. Rick Scott denounced the Nazi salutes, anti-Jewish slurs and Nazi regalia. On Monday, the governor did not condemn the demonstrators. Instead, he criticized Democrats.
Meanwhile, bomb threats forced the temporary closure of historically Black colleges and universities. Also, on the first day of Black History Month, DeSantis asked the Florida Supreme Court whether Black congressman Al Lawson’s district was unconstitutional. Lawson responded that the governor is race-baiting to build political points with his base.

30 Famous Actors Dressed in Drag
30 Famous Actors Dressed in Drag
What is drag?
Drag usually involves cross-dressing. A drag queen is someone who performs femininity and a drag king is someone who performs masculinity.
What is the difference between drag and burlesque?
Drag does not typically involve nudity or stripping, which are more common in the separate art of burlesque.
What is drag in culture?
Drag refers to an entertainment style wearing stylized clothing. Most common, it is men wearing women’s clothing cross-dressing, generally for the purpose of a performance. The origin of the term drag is uncertain. The first recorded use of drag in reference to actors dressed in women’s clothing is from 1870.
What is the definition of drag?
Drag is a type of entertainment where people dress up and perform, often in highly stylized ways. The term originated as British theater slang in the 19th century and was used to describe women’s clothing worn by men.
There is a lot more information online. Stop listening to hateful right wing media and republican MAGA leaders with an agenda to vilify groups to get votes. Drag is nothing new or scandals. It simply is being made out that way to create fear and loathing of the right wing voters to turn back the clock of social acceptance of the LGBTQ+
Educate yourself. Hugs
Tennessee City OKs Pride Festival In 5-4 Vote [VIDEO]
Again people are not forced to go to or watch a pride parade. Yet these Christian Taliban don’t care that participation is voluntary but instead wants to keep everyone from viewing the pride parades and banning them from being presented at all. Please note that one of the people against it was angry that the parade organizers won’t provide a booth for a Christian group to berate the parade participants / viewers and also to demand that gays never have sex with others but instead stay celibate. Also notice that in all prior years there was no issue with the parade, but now the Christian fundamentalists feel free to demand the entire community live by their views like a ruling religion. Hugs
Nashville’s Fox affiliate reports:
The City of Franklin voted to allow the annual Pride festival to occur in town this year. This comes right after the city decided to wait to vote on the “community decency” policy for another few weeks.
The result came after the aldermen tied 4-4 in their votes, making it so Mayor Ken Moore of Franklin had to break the tie. He said while he approved the permit, he warned those putting on the festival will be under a microscope, but ultimately Moore said he wants to unite the community.
The Tuesday night vote comes just weeks after Governor Bill Lee signed the drag bill into law in March, which bans “adult-oriented performances” in places where children would be able to view them.
Nashville’s ABC affiliate reports:
Some aldermen said they received threatening emails from people over this vote and repeated that figuring out which way to vote was not as easy of a decision in particular because of a potential lawsuit if they deny Franklin Pride the permit.
According to city leaders, last year, the event’s permit was approved 8-0 and the city has never denied a permit. “I don’t want to see a guy twerking in front of me. I am 60 years old,” said one speaker. “God’s word is clear that homosexuality is a sin,” said another.
While they were in the minority Tuesday night, those who wanted the event to take place believed denying the permit would infringe on their free speech, and send a harmful message to the LGBT community, and people who don’t want to attend are not forced to do so.

Christians Seek To Ban Tennessee Pride Festival
One mother claimed that the festival was part of a coordinated national movement to groom children. A man read a passage from the Bible about resisting “sexual immorality.” “You think you are doing things based on laws,” a crying woman said, “but you are letting Satan in.”
Read the full article. Festival organizers have already agreed that there won’t be any drag performances.
Please notice that even when the organizers gave into these Christian Taliban by limiting what is and has been accepted free speech in public society for a long time by agreeing that they wouldn’t have drag at the event. Not risky sexual drag from an adult venue but not drag at all. I guess dressing up like Dolly Parton which is a favorite of drag queens is now to sexual for people to see. But it is not enough, these religious haters that want to force their religion church doctrine on everyone, they want the full Russian model of removing pride and the LGBTQ+ removed from society along with removed from the public in all cases. These are the same people that freak out when people want to restrict them from plastering their religious symbols everywhere and who try to pass laws to protect the display of confederate statues / symbols. But they do not give that courtesy to the rest of us, instead they try to demand their church doctrines rule us all. Hugs
If you don’t like Pride Fest then don’t go. Don’t think it’s appropriate for kids, then don’t take any. Problem solved. I steer clear of plenty of things myself. Most of us do.
Also, I have ancestors who were here in the 1600s so I guess that guy would think I have even more say than he does? What bullshit. You’re either a citizen or you aren’t no matter when you or your ancestors got here.
I wonder how he would react if a Native American countered his argument with the fact that their ancestors lived in the area before the white man arrived.
