9-Year-Old Boy Dies By Suicide After He Was Bullied For Being Gay | NBC Nightly News

This is what the Mom’s of Liberty, Libs of TikTok, fundamentalist Christian republican groups pushing don’t say gay bills along with anti-trans bills, right wing media that call anyone supportive of the LGBTQIA kids groomers, and those groups constantly claiming falsely that drag queen story hours sexualize kids all want.  More gay kids gone, tormented either into hiding or removing themselves from society.  This is what happens when you take away the rainbow stick safe rooms for LGBTQIA kids.  This is what happens when you take away anti-bullying programs and prevent teachers from stopping the harassment of gay / trans kids because they can not tell the bullies that they are wrong because if they sound like they are supporting the LGBTQIA then they could be punished or fired.   This is the result of pushing for a regressive hard return to the ideas of the past, such as the society of the 1950s.  We outgrew this bullshit once, now we must fight it all again.  If you go to YouTube to play the video on the right-hand side will be a seemingly never ending list of gay kids bullied into suicide.  I did not want to post them all, it was hard enough to watch a few.  Kids dying because some adults are back to pushing hate and intolerance for their god and political reasons, at the cost of kids lives.  These people don’t want to accept that non-straight non-cis people exist, so they want them gone, removed.  The religious claim that god doesn’t like them or make them.  The bigots just claim they shouldn’t be, so make them go away.  

Thankfully enough people are starting to push back that the tide of hateful regression and change is slowing.   But the right is desperately pushing more legislation, hoping to cement their feelings of hate and disgust at those different from them into law before lowing the power to do so.  They are understanding they are not popular, they are a minority.  But they are a very dangerous minority in charge in a lot of places.  For the sake of the children they must be stopped.  There is nothing wrong or shameful in being gay, being trans, or any other member of the LGBTQIA.  Being born straight and cis is not the only normal way to be.  Being born LGBTQIA is not some medical mistake or disease needing to be hidden or cured.  It also is normal.  It is documented in almost all animal species in nature.   

I was feeling so rested, awake, and ready to go this morning.   I was charging through stuff.  Until I hit this in my few saved videos on the video computer.  It had not lost its open tabs, I caught the problem first.  A few of the videos on this subject and I am tired, worn, old, and just want to go back to bed.   The people behind the hate put me back to my childhood with all its pain and fears.  What happened to the modern age that the majority let the minority haters / bigots / racists get control of so many levelers of power to hurt those who are not like them?   

Any way, find your safe space before watching the short video and maybe a few more of them, of kids from 9 to adults ending their own lives because the people around them won’t let them be who they are or are forcing them to change, or just demanding they die because their parents tell them god hates those who are different.  Because they are hurting too much and too scared to live.   Saddest hugs.  Scottie

UV light kills viruses. Why isn’t it everywhere?


When you think of disinfecting a space, what comes to mind? Wipes? Gels? Sprays? Maybe air purifiers or effective HVAC systems? All of these are great defenses against viruses and bacteria, but one thing has been missing from the toolkit despite our knowing about it for over a century: light.

Ultraviolet light is an incredibly powerful disinfectant. Study after study has proven that it can obliterate viruses and bacteria, and yet it’s not often thought about as a defense against germs. In fact, when most people think of UV, they think of the harmful rays from the sun that cause cancer — not the PR you want when advertising, obviously. Luckily, a few years after the pandemic lockdowns, researchers have found a type of UV that isn’t strong enough to penetrate human skin but still effectively stops the germs. Could it be our next defense? Check out the video above to learn more.

GA Senate Advances “Don’t Say Gay” Bill After Hearing From Homocons, Opponents Weren’t Allowed To Speak

GA Senate Advances “Don’t Say Gay” Bill After Hearing From Homocons, Opponents Weren’t Allowed To Speak

Notice they let only the anti-trans bigots speak, to back up the unpopular and unneeded laws.  They then abruptly ended the debate, preventing the dozens of attendees opposed to the bill from speaking.   Please notice the large number of people apposed to the bill that the republicans not only did not allow to speak but ignored.   In the minds of the republicans their hate is the only thing that matters.  These are the last gasps of desperate fundamentalist bigot haters to attack tolerance and acceptance.   I laugh at the idea that these republicans are claiming it is the trans people only they hate, but as we have seen in other states they started with trying to stop trans kids in schools, and moved to trying to stop all the LGBTQIA people everywhere in public.  Also these bills are always directed at public schools, the religious ones tend to be more conservative and the more wealthy secular ones the wealthy people don’t want their schools messed with by bigots.  Hugs.  Scottie

The Georgia Recorder reports:

A controversial bill dubbed Georgia’s version of “Don’t Say Gay” moved forward in a Senate committee Tuesday after three years of work and multiple failures to move, largely over Republican opposition to the inclusion of private schools. The bill passed committee on a 6-3 party line vote during a committee meeting in which proponents were given 15 minutes to speak but opponents did not receive time to talk. Dozens of people attended the meeting.

Jeff Cleghorn, an attorney who called himself a gay rights advocate opposed to gender ideology, said LGBTQ+ acceptance has increased because of the hard work of gay, lesbian and bisexual activists, but he said transgender people have attempted to “piggyback” off that struggle. “SB 88 is necessary because the former gay rights movement has been hijacked by those pushing this dishonest gender ideology on children,” he said.

The Los Angeles Blade reports:

 


Immediately after the bill’s sponsor spoke about the bill, he ceded the floor to Jeff Cleghorn, a gay anti-trans activist who calls transgender people “mentally ill sex fetishists” and regularly shares content from groups like Gays Against Groomers and Libs of TikTok.

Following an incendiary speech in which he advocated for separating transgender individuals from the LGBTQ+ community, Republicans allowed four people to speak.

These included a former president of the Young Republicans, a representative from Gays Against Groomers, and a representative from the Georgia Log Cabin Republican. They then abruptly ended the debate, preventing the dozens of attendees opposed to the bill from speaking.

The fact is that drag queens and trans have been with us gay men since the beginning. They were there in the stonewall bar when the cops raided it.

It is always shocking to discover trans-phobic gays among us. I stopped reading Americablog long ago when it’s owner, John Aravosis, was increasingly saying why should “we” help “them” as if we are not them.

Fuck off. Do you think they’ll stop at Trans folks?

Gays, Blacks, Hispanics, Muslims, Jews, Atheists, Mormons, Catholics, they’ll keep narrowing the scope of acceptable people because Authoritarianism only thrives when there’s an Other to villainize.

They don’t realize that back then, you didn’t really have the option of transitioning unless you had a lot of money. So many of our famous drag queens who would be seen as trans today never thought to transition. It’s still a problem today, but less so.

What do you think most crossdressers were in 1969? The word transgender wasn’t even used until the 1990s. Give your head a shake!

 

Police investigating after 2 men seen on camera urinating on pride flag, saying anti-gay slurs

Once places of higher learning were about gaining knowledge, acceptance, and tolerance, learning to live with other young adults.  Widening one’s horizons.   But that was before red state legislators tried to force hate into the schools at all levels, including higher education.   White fundamental Christian white supremacists are pushing for more open intense deeper racism and no tolerance for anyone not straight cis and regressive right wing.  Hugs.  Scottie

Columbus police are looking into the incident as a hate crime, in which one of the men can be seen urinating on an LGBTQ+ pride flag in front of a home.
 

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Columbus police are looking into a hate crime that happened last week near The Ohio State University’s campus last Thursday. Two men were caught on camera saying homophobic slurs and vandalizing a pride flag in front of a home in the Weinland Park area of Columbus.

“It was shocking but not surprising,” Sarah, who lives at the home, said.

 

Surveillance video from the home’s front porch showed the two men approaching the front door. One of them pulled down his pants and started urinating on the LGBTQ+ pride flag on display on the porch. The other man appears to be taking a video of his friend with his phone. 10TV blurred the faces of the men in the video because they have not been criminally charged.

“There’s honestly been a whole range of emotions, there’s been some fear, some anger,” Raven, who also lives at the home, said.

The man wearing blue can then be heard yelling homophobic slurs as his friend laughs.

He then banged on the doors before taking off running.

“I decided to post something online and the police found us,” Zoe, who lives at the home, said.

Columbus police officers arrived at their home within a couple of hours of posting the video online on Sunday. An LGBTQ+ liaison who specifically handles hate crimes joined the officers, 

Zoe, a mother of two, said she shared the video to set an example for her kids, who are both trans.

“I’ve got a 12-year-old and a 14-year-old and we’ve had the gamut of school experiences… This isn’t something that they should expect as normalized in their life,” Zoe said. 

This incident is also taking a toll on their family.

“Honestly, I’ve been a little more anxious, I’ve been checking the camera feeds, I’ve been looking outside more I’ve been more cautious,” Raven said.

“We all fear that this might just be the start of things and it could get worse,” Sarah said.

 They hope that sharing their story spreads awareness about the threats they often face from the people in the community.

“None of us are looking to ruin these kids’ lives,” Sarah said.

This family said they simply hope it can become a lesson learned.

“Not just that what they did was wrong but why it was wrong and how much it genuinely hurts people,” Sarah said.

 

They added this incident won’t stop them from keeping their pride on full display, for themselves, their kids, and their community.

“We’re not looking for trouble, we’re not looking for a fight, but we are looking to uplift our community and be a safe space for our community,” Kieve, who lives at the home, added.

Police have not said if they have identified the people in the video, but they said they are investigating the incident as a hate crime.

In the video interview, the homeowners say the police came to them after they posted the video themselves on social media. Maybe one of our sleuths can find that original UNBLURRED video?

Anti-Trans NYT Article Gets It’s Facts Horrendously Wrong

Erin Reed, author of the Erin In The Morning newsletter on SubStack, discusses the state of anti-trans legislation moving its way around the country in 2024. 

Erin Reed then joins, diving right into the busy 2024 in state-level anti-trans legislation in the US, first parsing through the media’s insistence on emphasizing bigoted and misinformed perspectives – as seen in the New York Times’s recent piece by Pamela Paul – and how the arguments seen in those texts are perfectly reflected in the statehouse hearings in red states.
