"Florida GOP Chair Christian Ziegler, husband of Moms For Liberty cofounder, accused of sexual assault by alleged menage a trois lover"

There are apparently videos. 🤣 :BlobhajPrideHeart:

#MomsForLiberty #Hipocrisy #WhitewashHistory #Racist #DontSayGay #BookBanning #antilgbtq

Mem text"
So lemme gett this straight; one of the co-founders of "Moms for Liberty" was busted for having a threesom with another woman?

And her husband, who is the chairman on the Florida GOP, was charged with abusing the woman in their threesome?

And these are the same people that keep trying to ban books to "protect children" from the "morally repugnant" left?

Do I have that right?

Alienated53

The guys in my graduating HS class (36 M&F in 1971) who were the top academic/student gov types all decided to take the home-econ class that had previously been strictly for the women. We did so as a symbol of defiance of gender roles. The #feminist movement was just a few yrs old, but my very rural boomer cohort seemed to want to embrace gender equality (as well as environmentalism). How very soul crushing to see the rise of #misogyny and #antiLGBTQ hate all these decade later.

# Parents take on struggle for transgender rights for their kids and others in conservative Poland

The article is about a group of #parents in #Poland who are fighting for the #rights and #acceptance of their #transgender #children and other #LGBTQ+ people in a #conservative and #Catholic society. The parents offer #FreeHugs at #Warsaw's #Pride #celebration, #share their #stories online and in videos, and #challenge the #antiLGBTQ+ #rhetoric of the #ruling #party leader and some #church #officials. They also #support each other and provide a #SafeSpace for #trans #youth who face #rejection, #depression and #suicide risk. The article #highlights the #personal #experiences of some of the parents and their children, as well as the #political and #social context of Poland's LGBTQ+ #rights #movement.

# The case for optimism about LGBTQ rights in the United States

* The #SupremeCourt's (#SCOTUS) decision in Bostock v. Clayton County (2020) has created a new #legal #framework for #challenging #antiLGBTQ #discrimination.
* #LowerCourt #judges have been receptive to this new #framework, and have #struck down several #state #laws that #discriminate against #LGBTQ people.
* Some of the state laws that have been struck down include #bans on #GenderAffirming #care for #minors, laws that #restrict #transgender people's #access to #bathrooms and #sports, and laws that allow #businesses to #discriminate against LGBTQ people.
* The future of LGBTQ rights in the United States remains uncertain, as the Supreme Court could overturn Bostock in the future.
* The Bostock decision was a 6-3 ruling, with conservative justices John Roberts and Neil Gorsuch joining the liberal minority.
* The decision was based on the interpretation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex.
* The decision has been used to challenge a wide range of anti-LGBTQ laws, including those that restrict transgender people's access to bathrooms and sports.

Progressive #parents are organizing to "stop the chaos" (#BookBans, #Censorship #AntiLGBTQ, ...) that conservative parents have created in #schools.

“A big goal is to flip back seats that were won by extremists in 2021 just to stop the chaos,” said Katie Paris...

The other side, she said, is “not winning as much as one would think based on how much they have dominated headlines over the last two years & been allowed to misrepresent parents."
https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2023/06/12/progressive-education-activist-m4l/

Text from article:
In the meantime, many groups are working to train like-minded parents to attend and speak at school board meetings, something conservative groups have been doing since the height of the pandemic. To face them, Red, Wine and Blue has put more than 11,000 people through one-hour “troublemaker trainings."

This spring in North Carolina, a group called HEAL Together held its first two sessions teaching parents to speak at school board meetings and track school board activity. They drew a combined 160 people from 32 out of the state’s 100 counties, and another 160 are registered for a training this week. They hope to train at least two people from each county this year.

One goal, said Moore, the North Carolina organizer: “Not letting Moms for Liberty be the only voices in the room."

Defense of Democracy, a progressive parents’ group headquartered in New York, holds weekly video meetings open to its 2,000 active volunteers across 40 chapters in which leaders train members how to run for school board, win media coverage and lead peaceful protests. By the end of the summer, the group hopes to persuade at least one member in each chapter to begin regularly attending their local school board meetings.

Spurred by a groundswell of #farright support, the Texas #Senate has passed all of Lt. Gov. #DanPatrick’s priority #AntiLGBTQ #bills — and then some. What the House does next will impact queer Texans’ lives and could determine Speaker Phelan’s future.

The #NewYorkTimes Just Made Another Major #AntiLGBTQ+ Goof.

An #HR executive at the New York Times is coming under fire for restricting feedback from LGBTQ+ employees to HR-approved channels. The exec’s seemingly unprompted message came three days after #contributors sent an #openletter to the paper’s #publisher, criticizing past coverage of #trans #issues.
