    “Time to break apart LGB and TQ+ and stop funding LGBTQ+ lobbies.”

    If you don’t want to fund “LGBTQ+ lobbies”, then don’t contribute to the lobbies. HRC, LCR, AVER, SAGE, NGLCC, Lamba Legal — any and all of them. Contribute instead to conservative organizations — ADF, FRC, Liberty Counsel and so on. It really is that simple.

    The choice between LGBTQIA+ groups favoring gender-transitioning for minors and anti-gay groups is, of course, a false dichotomy. In fact, the “queer” and pro-transition groups are fueling support for the anti-gay groups (which is ironic, as Stephen has pointed out, because transitioning gender-nonconforming kids is itself anti-gay in a profound sense). I would suggest supporting groups like the LGB Alliance USA – https://lgbausa.org

    “The choice between LGBTQIA+ groups favoring gender-transitioning for minors and anti-gay groups is, of course, a false dichotomy. ”

    If course it is … got a rise out of you, though, didn’t it? By the way, “favoring gender-transitioning for minors” is a false flag.

    I lumped LCR in with HCR and the others without irony, though. Conservative homosexuals need to educate LCR, though, or bring them down. LCR continues to support transgender rights, and no longer represents conservative homosexual orthodoxy in that respect.

    “I would suggest supporting groups like the LGB Alliance USA …

    LGBA is right up your alley — insistence on binary cis-gender, emphasis on detransitioning, and so on. However, I’m surprised, as well. LGBA endorses and promotes intersectionality (“We amplify the voices of lesbians to highlight the dual discrimination of both homophobia and misogyny faced by women who are exclusively same-sex oriented in a male-dominated society.”) I wouldn’t have thought that was your bag.

    Again, what about hermathidites? Or What about actual transsexuals?

    “Again, what about hermathidites? Or What about actual transsexuals?”

    In Republican polities, minors with an actual need for treatment don’t count. The Utah bill signed into law over the weekend, for example, bans all medical treatment (hormone/surgery) for transgender minors going forward, but allows the identical treatment for non-transgender minors. In short, surgeries like breast implants and hormone augmentation are permitted for minors, just so long as the reason is not related to transgender medical issues. Nonsensical.

    Conservative homosexuals picked up a strong supporter in confronting “the single most important issue facing gays and lesbians today” (see “Liberating ‘Gay’ from LGBTQ+ by Stephen H. Miller on January 13, 2023”). Governor DeSantis is also strongly on board the juggernaut. One or the other is likely to be the Republican candidate in 2024.

    Now if conservative homosexuals can bring Log Cabin Republicans into line, Republican hegemony is assured for 2024.

      Conservative homosexuals picked up yet another a strong supporter in confronting “the single most important issue facing gays and lesbians today”. It looks like Mike Pence has moved firmly into the Republican anti-trans mainstream today. At this point, conservative homosexuals can count on strong support from the presumptive nominee (Trump), the next strongest potential nominee (DeSantis) and a longshot (Pence). So far, the only outlier is Nikki Haley, who rebuffed efforts to enact a bathroom bill in South Carolina some years ago, and who might not be onboard.

      But all in all, it looks like conservative homosexuals are sitting pretty for 2024.

    I’m normally pretty liberal but in this issue I agree with Stephen. No one should have to have surgery to alter their body and have to takes drugs the rest of their life. People should be free to act anyway they want, without having to change their body. I’ll give adults the option, but never children. I myself thought it would be easier to be a girl when I was 8-12 years old. I was bullied for not being very masculine. I wasn’t feminine either. I was bookish. Nerdy. But I felt if I had been born female, I wouldn’t have been bullied. But as an adult I am so happy I’m male!!! I would not change it. I shudder to think what would have happened if I was 8-12 now. Our problem in society is strict gender norms. It’s crazy we are forcing all this medical intervention on people when it’s not them with the problem. It is also condemning people to far fewer potential partners in life. Not so many people want to date a trans person. I’ve been seeing many trans men for anger at gay men who won’t sleep with them. But that means before transition these were straight woman! Why the need for all the surgery and medications to sleep with gay men, when if they had just remained very butch women they would have far more available partners?
