The Left’s Embrace of TQ+ Is Killing Gay Rights

by on

If “LGBTQ+” means hating Israel and embracing the “genocide” blood libel, and also favoring taxpayer money to medically transition gender-nonconforming kids, not to mention the rest of the radical left agenda, is it any wonder support for what were once called “gay rights” is plummeting?

DEI Preferences for LGBTQ+ Contractors Is a Terrible Idea

by on

DEI, so-called “diversity, equity and inclusion” policies, mandate preferential treatment in hiring and promotions (and other far-flung areas, from college admissions to government contracts) based on identity group membership. DEI preferences are justified as a means to rectify past group-based discrimination, but in effect they operate as a thumb on the scale the overrides individual merit in decision-making.
The height of DEI ideological insanity could be the California Public Utility Commission’s policy of preferencing the awarding of government contracts to LGBTQ-owned businesses.
Again, it’s as if LGBTQ+ activists and their political “allies” are trying to provoke a backlash against the great achievement of the gay rights movement—equal treatment under the law.

Forced Compliance with LGBTQ+ Pride Undermines Gay Rights

by on

The growing political backlash should have been predicable, and will only get worse.

Making ball players wear pro-LGBTQ+ hats and uniform shirts, and threatening retaliation against those who resist, is a terrible practice. It’s as if LGBTQ+ activists and their “allies” are trying to provoke a backlash against the great achievement of the gay rights movement — equal treatment under the law.

It’s notable who is the target audience for common forms of LGBTQ activism (“queer” people in some of the most LGBTQ-friendly, progressive cities in the world) and who isn’t (gay kids in deeply conservative and religious areas where hostile attitudes and barriers to opportunities are more common). “How will this action impact gay kids in rural Alabama or ruby red Arkansas?” is a question I wish activists asked themselves. Instead, the concern seems to be, “Do queer baseball fans in San Francisco feel seen?”

The Real ‘Conversion Therapy’ Threat

by on

Conversion therapy bans conflate sexual orientation and gender identity, and so also seek to ban talk therapy to help gender-confused kids, including gay and proto-gay kids, to feel comfortable with their bodies. Instead, they want “gender-affirming” medical intervention as the only allowed treatment for distress experienced by minors who don’t conform to traditional gender stereotypes (i.e., “masculine” girls and “effeminate” boys). That’s why growing numbers of LGB people oppose “conversion therapy” bans by local and national governments.

Battle Lines

by on

Gay community and gay rights activism/politics were once intricately bound together. Now, what passes for gay community and LGBTQ+ activism/politics seem to be worlds apart, although many older gay men still heavily fund LGBTQ+ activist organizations, apparently unaware of the agenda these groups now support, such as transing gender-nonconforming gay and proto-gay kids and putting physically intact males who self-identify as female into girl’s and women’s locker rooms and sports.

From the Down Under, “Battle Lines Drawn as Gay, Trans Camps Square Off.”

But trans vs. gay may be the future generally. Via LGB Alliance Australia:

“Let’s be clear. ‘LGBTQIA+ no longer represents us. It now encompasses institutions that oppose the rights of lesbians, gay man and bisexual people, erasing our language, distorting our reality and mischaracterizing our rights as hate.”

And On It Goes …

And on and on …





True, not all trans kids detransition (so far), but that doesn’t justify the continuing unfairness of allowing bio males who identify as female to compete in girls’ and women’s sports. Or, as below, pretending that a female who competes on the women’s team is a male!:

May the Truth Set Them Free

by on

A new Finnish report on the aftermath of medical transitioning of minors and young adults is making waves. Here, from Any Ngo:

A new academic study published in Acta Paediatrica followed over 2,000 trans teens and young people who received “gender-affirming” care.
After treatment, mental health problems became more common, not less, and these trans people remained several times more likely to need psychiatric care than their non-trans peers. Psychiatric morbidity surged especially among those who transitioned medically through surgeries and/or cross-sex hormones.
The study’s findings are part of a growing body of research showing no improvements or even worse outcomes for people who transition, contradicting the claims from the ACLU, GLAAD, and leftist trans activists.

Rich Guggenheim points out that:

Finland has some of the best national health records in the world. Every specialist psychiatric visit, diagnosis, medication purchase, and procedure is logged. There is no loss to follow up. Researchers followed these young people for an average of 5.5 years after their first clinic visit (up to 25 years for the earliest cases).

Guggenheim adds:

Major LGBTIQA+ organizations have abandoned their original mission. Groups like GLAAD, Human Rights Campaign, and GLSEN once fought for basic rights for gays and lesbians: decriminalization, marriage equality, and protection from discrimination. Today they have shifted almost entirely to pragmatic outreach that targets children and pushes the radical trans queer agenda.

Here’s my latest at Substack: May the Truth About Trans Treatments for Kids Set Them Free:

Call it “medical gender reassignment,” “sex-trait-altering procedures,” or “transgender medical interventions.” Just don’t call it “gender-affirming care.”
