"“What they mean [with "Don't say gay" laws] is they don’t want views other than theirs to be expressed. And they believe that that means everyone should have to hear what they believe.”

Discussion of straight people with traditional gender identities is everywhere, she said, and if all discussion of sexuality is going to be banned, Oakley said, “then you certainly better not be teaching ‘Romeo and Juliet.’”"

Text from article:
LGBTQ+ advocates say Nobleman bumped up against a moral panic fomented by conservatives seeking to roll back acceptance.

“The idea that these folks are saying that they just don’t want to talk about it at all is very disingenuous,” said Cathryn Oakley, a lawyer for the Human Rights Campaign, a leading advocacy group. “What they mean is they don’t want views other than theirs to be expressed. And they believe that that means everyone should have to hear what they believe.”

Discussion of straight people with traditional gender identities is everywhere, she said, and if all discussion of sexuality is going to be banned, Oakley said, “then you certainly better not be teaching ‘Romeo and Juliet.’”

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.

— The #AntiLGBTQ and #WhiteSpremacist #Moral #panic is being spread by #Conservative #media and the #RepublicanParty in active collusion with #Religious #hategroups. The #HateSpeech they spread through #StochasticTerrorism leads to actual #violence #targeting their #victims for real world #hatecrimes. They should be prosecuted as accessories.

Hate speech is any form of expression that attacks, demeans, or discriminates against an individual or group based on their race, ethnicity, religion, gender, gender identity, sex, sexual orientation, or other characteristics.

It is often used to intimidate, harass, or marginalize vulnerable people and has devastating effects on individuals and communities.

Hate speech should never be protected under free speech laws or human rights legislation, as it perpetuates harmful stereotypes and discriminatory attitudes.

It is crucial to understand that hate speech is not free speech. Unlike free speech, hate speech is based on innate characteristics and almost always causes harm to someone else as a result of the speaker's actions. When a speaker's words are intended to or even accidentally cause harm to others, that speech can never be considered free.

We must acknowledge the emotional and psychological damage caused by hate speech. It not only harms those targeted by it, but also perpetuates a vicious cycle of intolerance and discrimination. As responsible members of society, we must stand up against hate speech whenever we see it and work to promote a culture of respect, diversity, and inclusivity.

# 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.
