since we're talking about anti-vaxxers & calls to "debate me", I will add that anti-trans activists use this exact same playbook. you can't "debate" a scientific consensus, b/c it's not based on one study & can't be undone w/individual "questions/concerns"

...I will add that the anti-trans parent movement is eerily similar to the anti-vaccine parent movement in their tactics and dynamics – I detail those parallels here:

...ppl are sharing this great thread on further similarities with the "subliminal Satanic messages" moral panic of the 1980s. TL;DR: there is no satisfying conspiracy theorists b/c they're not evidence based & will never be swayed by "debate"...

The fall in the number of Americans who think that gay and lesbian relationships are morally acceptable is down seven percentage points from 71% in 2022 to 64% in 2023

1. The fall was driven by Republicans, according to Gallup. While 56 percent of Americans identifying as Republicans found same-sex relationships morally acceptable in 2022, only 41 percent do so in the year 2023.

2. The groups most in favor of legal same-sex marriage are the same found in previous years - adults aged 18 to 29 (89%), Democrats (84%), and infrequent churchgoers (83%).
"WHAT'S AT STAKE when we talk about book bans is student learning and well-being," writes PEN America's @jonfreadom in @USATODAY. "Semantic gymnastics about what is or isn’t a ban is an effort to deny and distract from the problem." #BannedBooks #Reading usatoday.com/story/opinion/…
"To avoid charges of #censorship, school administrators, government officials and groups like Moms for Liberty have taken to calling the results of their efforts 'quarantine' or 'curation' – anything but 'ban.'
This debate is not new." (2/x)

🌈 Thread: Demystifying Non-Binary Identities and the Non-Binary Flag 🏳️🌈
💛⚪️💜⚫️
💛⚪️💜⚫️
Non-binary individuals are an important part of our diverse LGBTQ+ community. They identify outside the traditional gender binary, which means their gender identity doesn't exclusively align with being male or female.
The non-binary flag is a symbol of pride and visibility for non-binary people. It consists of yellow, white, purple, and black stripes, each representing different aspects of non-binary identities and experiences.
Pues como es mes del orgullo #LGBTQ hoy vamos a hablar de cómo la noche del 9 de mayo de 1990 una voz y un traje de lentejuelas hicieron temblar a la sociedad tradicional mexicana naciendo un icono mexiqueer:
🌈✨Juanga✨🌈
🌈✨Juanga✨🌈
Digamos que desde joven Juanga siempre utilizaría la moda como un estandarte para gritarle al mundo quien era sin decir una sola palabra
Desde los 70 siguiendo tendencias que en México no eran tan comunes como el estilo peacock muy en la onda del swinging London
Paganisms return is the beginning of the end of Children’s protection from Sexual Predators!

OK, all! I am so appreciative of the support that you have shown me in launching Law Dork. Now, in the last 15 days of my first year, I need your help.
lawdork.com
lawdork.com
My original goal when launching was 10,000 total subscribers in the first year, and 1,000 paid subscribers. The total subscribers is well above the goal — headed toward 15,000! lawdork.com
But, as you can see, I still need 100 more paid subscribers before June 21 to meet that goal. If you've been reading my work and are able to afford it, please consider a paid subscription today. It's just $6/mo or $60/year. Thank you! lawdork.com/subscribe
1. In 2023, conservative activists have advanced the theory that "woke" corporations are pushing a radical, pro-LGBTQ agenda
But a Popular Information investigation reveals 25 rainbow flag-waiving corporations have donated $13.5 million to anti-gay politicians since Jan 2022

Dabei war Hitler vielleicht selbst homosexuell.

लातविया की संसद ने विदेश मंत्री एदगर्स रिंकेरिच को देश का नया राष्ट्रपति चुना है. 49 साल के रिंकेरिच 2011 से देश के विदेश मंत्री थे. रूसी आक्रामकता के खिलाफ वह लंबे समय से यूक्रेन के समर्थक माने जाते हैं. #Latvia #LGBTQ
रिंकेरिच के पूर्ववर्ती राष्ट्रपति एगिल्स लेवित्स ने दूसरे कार्यकाल के लिए ना खड़े होने का फैसला किया. इसलिए रिकेंरिच को नया राष्ट्रपति चुना गया. संसदीय मतदान के बाद उन्होंने कहा, "देश की संपन्नता और सुरक्षा के लिए मैं सबकुछ करूंगा." #EuropeanUnion
रिंकेरिच गे हैं. 2014 में विदेश मंत्री रहते हुए उन्होंने अपने समलैंगिक होने की बात सार्वजनिक की थी. ऐसा करने वाले वह लातविया के पहले बड़े नेता हैं. अब बतौर राष्ट्रपति उनके चुनाव से यूरोपीय संघ में पहली बार कोई जाहिर समलैंगिक राष्ट्राध्यक्ष बना है. #InclusionMatters
This issue of Japanese right wing magazine WiLL is full of hateful, anti-LGBTQ rhetoric that is incredibly divorced from mainstream Japanese views that overwhelmingly support marriage equality and #LGBTQ rights. That this is hitting the shelves around #PrideMonth is extremely sad
What I find so bizarre about the extreme right-wing's playbook against LGBTQ in Japan is how they are borrowing rhetoric emerging out of the US to critique the US, and then trying to link this to Japanese "tradition," when their hate is grounded in ahistorical discourses
In case people are curious, in the immediate postwar, gay male culture was often celebrated by Japan's extreme right wing as a bulwark against Westernisation. Most famously by Mishima Yukio in novels like Running Horses. I write about it in my book!

This is for the #queer groups screaming the loudest about what's going on #Uganda but who normally can't be bothered with the Black people here in America...
It’s really easy to read a headline like “Uganda president signs anti-gay law that includes death penalty” and immediately go into your First World privilege and start in with the condemnation.
But before you start automatically reposting and sharing a story you are only reading the headline about, let me share a few things with you for consideration.
First and foremost, Uganda was colonized by Britain (white people). So you can start there.

It's important to note that sanctions are a double-edged sword. On one hand, they could push Uganda to reconsider the law by affecting the economy. But they could also cause collateral damage, impacting the lives of ordinary Ugandans. #Sanctions #UgandaAntiGayLaw -… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Today we're celebrating #HarveyMilkDay as we remember his incredible efforts to fight for LGBTQ+ equality. The same fight for equality in which Harvey Milk's life was sacrificed remains as relevant today as it was in 1978:

Harvey Milk made some incredible strides forward towards equality with his vital work, but, even in 2023, there are still many more miles still to go when it comes to LGBTQ+ rights across the world...
The many death threats that Harvey Milk received didn't stop him from advancing the concept of equal rights. His bold and outspoken message was an incredible show of bravery.

Gender-affirming care is not merely hormones & surgeries despite how lawmakers frame it.
It is broader support: a safe space to ask questions, be welcomed & be affirmed, be cared for holistically.🌈
Banning gender-affirming care has a chilling effect, shutting down ALL care. 2/

So in Austin, when Adolescent Med docs were pushed out of @dellchildrens, thousands of families were left without a place to go, to be respected (rather than rejected), to ask questions. 3/ texastribune.org/2023/05/13/aus…

The May 16 @CityofWheeling #CityCouncil meeting was unlike any other, due in large part to it's high attendance. Many came out in support of the LGBTQ+ and the upcoming Pride on the Plaza event. More than 60 people filled the chambers. Here's what you missed:
