VIRAL VIDEO: Gay MO Rep Rages At GOP Author Of Anti-Trans Bill: “I Grew Up Afraid Of People Like You”

The Springfield News-Leader reports:

Local school districts in Missouri would be able to call elections on whether to ban transgender athletes from youth sports under a bill given initial approval by the House on Wednesday evening. A bill originally designed to audit the state’s voter rolls and tweak elections laws was amended by Rep. Chuck Basye, a Rocheport Republican, to include the language.

The chamber approved the amendment by an 89-40 vote after almost three hours of fierce and emotional debate. Democrats called the measure discriminatory and designed to invoke fear. “I was afraid of people like you growing up and I grew up in Hickory County, Missouri,” Rep. Ian Mackey, a St. Louis Democrat who is openly gay, said to Basye. “I grew up in a school district that would vote tomorrow to put this in place.”

The Advocate reports:

“Your brother wanted to tell you he was gay, didn’t he?” Mackey asked him. Basye said he did and his brother thought their family would hold it against him. “Why would he think that?” Mackey asked.

“I don’t know,” replied Basye. The GOP representative said, “that was never going to happen.”

Mackey said, “I would have been afraid to tell you too. I would have been afraid to tell you to because of stuff like this because this is what you’re focused on. This is the legislation you want to put forward.”

The exchange has gone wildly viral on TikTok.

Watch and enjoy the smoke.

And they want us to have that fear again.

That’s the point. The man in Florida who introduced the “Don’t Say Gay” bill admitted it out loud.

    • It did the same to me. I remember all my growing up years and into my early twenties living with that fear that generated such shame within me. I still hear, especially from religious bigots and know-nothings, that we are all born heterosexual like God wants us to be. However, some of us turn away from God and follow Satan into choosing to be homosexual. The fact that I would hear repeatedly that God hated me along with the world around me, was a horrible fear inducing and shame producing thing. I carried that around for so many years until I grew up to the point that I told myself to fuck it all. To this day, I still feel a bit of that well entrenched fear when I decide to tell some friend that I’m gay. Funny thing, at least to me, is that most have already figured that out and remained my friends.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein says she won’t resign and is ‘rather puzzled’ by reports that she’s mentally unfit to serve

  • 88-year-old Sen. Dianne Feinstein says she won’t resign, despite concerns about her mental fitness.
  • “I’m rather puzzled by all of this,” Feinstein told the editorial board of the San Francisco Chronicle.
  • Even fellow Democrats have begun to privately express concerns about whether she can do her job.
  • Following a report from the San Francisco Chronicle that raised fresh concerns about Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s mental fitness, the 88-year-old California Democrat indicated that she’s not going anywhere.

    “I meet regularly with leaders,” she told the Chronicle’s editorial board on Thursday. “I’m not isolated. I see people. My attendance is good. I put in the hours. We represent a huge state. And so I’m rather puzzled by all of this.”

    The Chronicle reported that four of her Senate colleagues, including three Democrats, said they believe the senator’s memory is rapidly deteriorating.

    A House Democrat from California also anonymously told the Chronicle that they had to reintroduce themselves to Feinstein several times during a recent hours-long policy discussion, prompting that member to begin raising concerns to fellow colleagues and see if Feinstein could be convinced to resign.

    “It shouldn’t end this way for her. She deserves better,” the California Democrat told the Chronicle. “Those who think that they are serving her or honoring her by sweeping all of this under the rug are doing her an enormous disservice.”

    Feinstein admitted to not recognizing the colleague on Thursday, but blamed the lapse on stress caused by the prolonged illness of her late husband, Richard Blum, who died in February.

    “I’ve had a rough year. A cancer death doesn’t come fast,” she said. “And this is the second husband I’ve lost to cancer.”

    But fellow lawmakers contended that her condition is only worsening.

    “I have worked with her for a long time and long enough to know what she was like just a few years ago: always in command, always in charge, on top of the details, basically couldn’t resist a conversation where she was driving some bill or some idea,” the lawmaker told the Chronicle. “All of that is gone.”

    “She was an intellectual and political force not that long ago, and that’s why my encounter with her was so jarring,” the lawmaker added. “Because there was just no trace of that.”

    “It’s bad, and it’s getting worse,” a Democratic senator anonymously told the Chronicle.

    “There’s a joke on the Hill, we’ve got a great junior senator in Alex Padilla and an experienced staff in Feinstein’s office,” one staffer working for a California Democrat told the Chronicle.

    Feinstein, the oldest member of the Senate, has previously been the subject of concerns about her mental acuity. After facing criticism for her handling of the Supreme Court confirmation hearing of Justice Amy Coney Barrett, a report from the New Yorker in December 2020 raised similar concerns.

    According to that report, then-Minority Leader Chuck Schumer installed his own aide on the Judiciary Committee, which Feinstein chaired at the time, to serve as his “eyes and ears” on her.

    Feinstein stepped down as chair of the committee in November 2020.

It should be noted that she has already filed to run again for another term.    88 years old, failing mental ability to age alone would be understandable but she clearly has something else going on.   Not to be one sided 88 year old Chuck Grassley is also running for another 6 year term.  Doesn’t the US have younger people that want to use their time to make a fortune and gain power pretending to serve the people?   We are so at a loss for politicians we must press 88 year old’s into keeping their aged hands into the power trough.  What a sad situation.   Our founding fathers pictured a civilian political system, people would serve a term or two then go home.   Maybe even come back later to do another term.    The last thing they wanted was a full-time political class that enriches themselves at public expense.  

Tony Perkins: “Don’t Say Gay” Will Help Prevent STDs

Because we know that straight people do not get sexually transmitted diseases.    We know that denying kids / young adults with sexual educations including the use of condoms means kids won’t sexually transmitted diseases.  We know keeping sexual information about their body and how to ease their desires themselves with masturbation won’t prevent STDs.   It is all those gays’ fault because of the icky stuff they do with each other.   Just think of everything wrong in the world and put it on the LGBTQ+ especially them gays with same sex marriage.   Boy does that make their god angry.  

Via email from hate group leader Tony Perkins:

If the CDC took COVID seriously, they’re doing the opposite for STDs. America’s public health agencies responded to COVID by quickly identifying how the disease was transmitted and recommending countermeasures. Oh, it’s an airborne virus? Let’s everybody cover their nose and mouth and stand a bit further apart.

If only we could figure out how sexually transmitted diseases were spread! Maybe we could use such information to ground our public health response. “If everybody did monogamous sex only,” Dr. Scott Field of the American College of Pediatricians said, “there would not be any STDs.”

STDs require much closer human contact than an airborne virus, but we’re still waiting for the CDC to recommend “social distancing” as a countermeasure to limit the spread of STDs.

As alarming as the rise in STDs may be, it isn’t the least bit surprising, especially among young people. Field attributed it to “policies, and the emphasis away from sexual fidelity.”

This is the natural outgrowth of the Left’s attempts to sexualize children and encourage sexual promiscuity throughout the education system.

To prevent this sexualized indoctrination, states have resorted to legislation. Earlier this year, Florida passed into law the Parental Rights in Education Act, which protects children in kindergarten through third grade from sexual indoctrination.

The bill attempted to give children at least a few years to learn — to read, write, add, tie their shoes — before dousing their imaginations in moral filth.

Instead, the Left wants to subject children to a radically opposite worldview, teaching them that only they can determine their identity, that they must do so according to their internal sexual feelings of the moment, and that, in fact, those sexual desires are their identity. How deceptive! How demonic!

As you may recall, the American College of Pediatricians is a tiny, far-right Christianist group that chose its name so that the public will confuse their pronouncements as coming from the highly regarded and pro-LGBTQ American Academy of Pediatrics.

DeSantis signs 15-week abortion ban into law

https://www.wesh.com/article/desantis-signs-15-week-abortion-ban/39726431

Gov. Ron DeSantis held a news conference in Osceola County on Thursday, where he signed Florida’s bill banning abortions after 15 weeks into law.

He spoke from Nacion de Fe in Kissimmee, where signs read, “Florida is pro-life.”

 

“We are here today to defend those that can’t defend themselves,” he said. “It is the most significant protection for life that’s been enacted in this state in a generation.”

DeSantis said being a parent is a big responsibility, but it’s something he “wouldn’t trade for the world.”

“This is a statement of our values, that every life is important,” he said.

The GOP-controlled Senate passed House Bill 5 in March.

The legislation specifically says a doctor may not perform an abortion “if the physician determines the gestational age of the fetus is more than 15 weeks.”

It does not grant exemptions for rape, incest or human trafficking. Exceptions include if the abortion is necessary to save a mother’s life or to prevent serious injury to the mother.

Attendees at the Thursday event praised the governor, calling him “the most pro-life governor in the country.”

Supporters of the bill have said 15 weeks would be enough time to make the decision to receive an abortion.

“Being a parent even when you want your child is fundamentally a sacrifice. But it is a privilege. It is a gift that God has given us all. It is the highest gift that he can give us,” Rep. Randy Fine (R) said. “You’ve got two sets of rights that are fundamentally in conflict. You’ve got the right of a woman to do what she wants with her body. And you have the right of a baby to exist. And both of these rights cannot exist at the same time.”

Democrats have harshly disagreed.

“All abortion bans are extreme. They rob women and people of the freedom to make their own decisions,” Rep. Carlos G Smith (D) said.

Planned Parenthood officials said Floridians should have the freedom to make their own medical decisions.

“No person can truly call themselves free if they can’t make decisions about their own body,” said Stephanie Fraim.

Fraim is the President and CEO at Planned Parenthood of Southwest and Central Florida.

“This law is an attack on our freedom,” she said. “We should stand up and say you cannot control me, you cannot take my freedom away from me. We need this healthcare.”

The new law is not a closed deal for pro-choice advocates who argue it is unconstitutional. Fraim said Planned Parenthood is considering challenging the legislation in court.

This from a governor that cut off extra government paid unemployment for Covid early, has a ridiculous low state unemployment, has cut and tried to cut further food assistance for children including child school lunches.  This governor has also fought any attempts to protect children in schools from Covid, fought vaccines for children and families, and has slashed funding for the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) at a time it was needed most.   And also in a weird way of showing how much they care about children this state pushed the don’t say gay bills that will leave LGBTQ+ kids target of bigots and being bullied by kids with bigoted parents.    

REPORT: Dems Fret Over Feinstein’s Failing Memory

The San Francisco Chronicle reports:

When a California Democrat in Congress recently engaged in an extended conversation with Sen. Dianne Feinstein, 88, they prepared for a rigorous policy discussion like those they’d had with her many times over the last 15 years. Instead, the lawmaker said, they had to reintroduce themselves to Feinstein multiple times during an interaction that lasted several hours.

Four U.S. senators, including three Democrats, as well as three former Feinstein staffers and the California Democrat told The Chronicle in recent interviews that her memory is rapidly deteriorating. They said it appears she can no longer fulfill her job duties without her staff doing much of the work required to represent the nearly 40 million people of California.
