Countering the Orwellian misuse of language by LGBTQ+ progressives is also vital:

The religious right wanted to “pray away the gay.” Now, the progressive left wants to “trans away the gay,” and gay man and lesbians who defend gender nonconforming gay kids from the new medical-conversion therapy are labeled “transphobes” and “TERFS”—or worse.

It is so weird to write online that I don’t think gender-nonconforming kids, who will likely grow up to be gay, should have their natural development compromised by experimental drugs, only to be called a Nazi.

When the struggle for gay rights was underway, protesters weren’t holding up signs telling their detractors to commit suicide.

The violent rhetoric of gender ideologues is just one of the reasons why their campaigns fail to persuade the general public.pic.twitter.com/7f1GNkqfeP

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:

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

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
