So I read #Flamer last week, one of the books recently banned in Cobb, and read it in one sitting. It's sweet and funny and carries a powerful message for #GayTeens trying to find themselves and their way in the world. And it's beautifully illustrated.

It's #AntiBullying and active #SuicidePrevention.

I'm not really buying why they claim they wanted it removed from the shelves: my conclusion was that they were motivated by #homophobia.

Cooper says LGBT people make up 2% of UK asylum applications (BBC checked - 1.5% of asylum claims last year included sexual orientation as part of the basis of the claim)

But of course #homophobia makes up way more than 2% of the electoral appeal of #toriesOut

Demonizing migrants is a central imperative of the political right globally. Suella Braverman is skilled at this. By pointing the finger at women and LGBTQ people who state that they are in danger and need to migrate to protect themselves and even save their lives, she elicits fear of hoardes of migrants overwhelming other countries, and implies that these migrants have slim reasons for migrating.

As Judd Legum reports, the superintendent of the Charlotte County, Florida, public school system, Mark Vianello, has ordered schools in the district to remove all books with LGBTQ characters or themes from school and classroom libraries. This ban is not directed to books considered to have sexual material — it's a ban of any book that has a character who is LGBTQ.

Anti-Diversity and Anti-Inclusion is HATE. I will say it as many times as necessary.

For those who aren't paying attention, the reason it needs to be said is that strong political forces in Canada are trying to change the meaning of anti-diversity and anti-inclusion to "saving" and "protecting". NOBODY is ever saved or protected by teaching them to hate. PERIOD.

Nobody is ever made safer by putting marginalized people in danger.

#Catholics #LGBTQ #homophobia

This story of Catholic priests in Germany blessing same-sex couples in defiance of church officials reminds me of something another German priest told me some years back. He said,

"We bless fields, water, food, dogs, cats, rabbits, tractors, guns, ships.

But we are not allowed to bless two men or two women who love each other."

The Catholic church remains in its institutional form, sad to say, a bastion of patriarchal homophobia.

Sex Ed for Bi Guys :heart_bi:

Trudeau said #BIPHOBIA along with #homophobia and #transphobia in a tweet, and apparently the #gay and #lesbian birdsite is having a fit. Or at least the biphobes among them are. Yet I'm not seeing the rest crawl out of the woodwork to tell them that biphobia is real and wrecks lives.

“The Trump years unleashed the willingness of many who call themselves Christian to lie about all manner of things if it meant achieving their goals, one of which seems to be the eradication of queer people, especially if they’re people of color, poor, old, disabled and disenfranchised.”

“The church has no problem telling lies if it works to advance their political ambitions, and we see now the extent of Christian nationalist desire for a theocracy rooted in white supremacist, patriarchal values which have nothing to do with the gospel and everything to do with power."

#Circumcision #LGBTQ #Homophobia #Autonomy #BodilyAutonomy

#BookReview: Circumcision Scar: My Foreskin Restoration, Neonatal Circumcision Memories and How Christian Doctors Duped a Nation (2020) by Jay J. Jackson

Reviewed by Tim Hammond for Journal of Prenatal & Perinatal Psychology & Health (2021)
https://www.proquest.com/docview/2596975784

Long-time gay rights activist Tim Hammond connects cultural fears of the intact penis with homophobia within this review of Jay Jackson's intensely personal book.

As a gay man myself, I'm hopeful that politically aware LGBTI readers will recognize the intersectionality of homophobia and prepucephobia (fear of foreskin) that underpin the historical and ongoing desire by certain societies to defy nature and attempt to eradicate both of these human characteristics, as well as the parallels between gay rights and children's rights when it comes to the oppressive forces of medicine and religion over our bodies, our sexuality, and our lives. In this respect, Jackson skillfully argues why true gender equality can never be achieved until society respects the genital autonomy of all children-regardless of sex or gender-and asks, "How do women reconcile asking people to support their right to dictate what happens to their own bodies, then turn around and deny their own sons the same liberty?" (p. 116). He continues with the powerful assertion that, "Once equality stops being a two-way street it stops being equality" (p. 108).

Beau of the Fifth Column comments on the warrning Canada's Global Affairs department has just issued to LGBTQ+ Canadians about the possible hazards they may encounter if they travel to the US.

Beau's summation: "How embarrassing." He focuses his commentary on Florida: How embarrassing that some Americans are now choosing to represent the US as a dangerous place for members of minority communities.
