HRC’s ‘Emergency’ Declaration
The Human Rights Campaign issues a warning to be afraid…be very afraid:
🚨 Our statement on the @HRC's "state of emergency" PR stunt.

TLDR: The Human Rights Campaign perpetually fear-mongers that the LGBT community is in grave danger in order to gin up donations and justify their existence.

Non-straight Americans have never enjoyed more rights or broad acceptance in our nation’s laws/culture than we do today. To effectively suggest — with a dramatic, first-ever “emergency” declaration — that it’s never been worse (dating back to the early 80s!) is really something. https://t.co/9MOKXiHePv

Via the Washington Times:
>>Mr. Moran said the problem is that HRC has redefined support for LGBTQ rights to include “trans surgeries for minors, biological men competing in women’s sports, and sex and gender identity lessons in kindergarten.”<<
“The HRC’s latest PR stunt is so ignorantly detached from the incredible LGBT progress over the past decade that we’d be shocked if their donors even buy it,” Log Cabin Republicans President Charles Moran told The Washington Times.

The gender ideology narrative is failing to convince the masses, so it’s an “emergency”!
Promoting the medical transitioning of gay kids is the real emergency that gay people should be responding to:

Where Things Stand
Continuing on from prior posts about the new anti-LGBTQ+ backlash and how trans-extremism, especially when directed at encouraging gender-nonconforming minors to transition, is undermining the hard-fought gains that gays and lesbians have made:

Gender-Identity Culture Wars Roll On
Walsh adds, “One of the hallmarks of Leftist methodology is to assert blatant falsehoods as real and then act on them—with the fierce urgency of now!—as if they were true… And they're getting bolder.” https://t.co/9yeuELOqoh

The NYT's article tried to make the transgenderism fights into a case of conservative aggression, but it ignored what sparked NC's bathroom bill: Charlotte's leftwing bathroom bill, telling private businesses how to operate their restrooms. https://t.co/guJH393FSJ

Progressives Practice ‘Don’t Say Gay’
This is a nice gesture, but the #LavenderScare did not target "LGBTQI+ Americans." It targeted gay and lesbian Americans.

… I guess Joe Biden and his administration also "Don't Say Gay.”https://t.co/VHrvKIEIdp

Debate and Engagement on Transgender Issues
Brad Polumbo ably explains the libertarian/classical liberal view that people have the right to live their lives according to their own values as long as they afford others the same right — a perspective opposed by cultural conservatives who want the state to restrict advocacy of transgenderism and by woke LGBTQ+ activists who want to close down debate on controversies such as medical transitioning of minors and bio males competing in women’s sports, as embraced by those who tried to cancel this event and block people from attending.
The protestors tried to stop it but @michaeljknowles and @brad_polumbo did not back down.

He disagrees with @michaeljknowles but opted to engage him and maybe accomplish something.
Trying to shut down speakers rather than engage them is childish and suggests you know you don't have better arguments. https://t.co/nTG0UxxgKE
