Transgender Issues
Under LGBTQ+, Gay & Lesbian Health Becomes Collateral Damage
Efforts to eliminate taxpayer spending for sex-trait modification procedures (or “gender-affirming care” in progressive-speak) have put funding at risk for gay and lesbian healthcare – including AIDS prevention. That’s because gay/lesbian and trans services now fall together under the rubric of “LGBTQ+ healthcare.”
On June 24, the Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) in Nashville laid off five staff members from its LGBTQ Health program. The cuts were linked to the Trump administration’s moves to stop universities and hospitals from using federal funds for sex-trait modification services and to curtail diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs that favor some identity groups over others.
Campus Reform reports that the university’s “Trans Buddy Program”:
… aimed to embed gender ideology in health care by assigning volunteers to advocate for transgender-identifying patients during medical visits, free of charge. … On the description page for VUMC’s “Program for LGBTQ Health,” the institution describes it as “an innovative effort to improve healthcare for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) adults.”
In another recent development, Congress’s July rescissions package to reduce government spending initially included cuts to PEPFAR, the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, an initiative George W. Bush launched in 2003 to combat AIDS around the world. In this instance, the program drew opposition for being foreign aid and well as LGBTQ+ focused. After lobbying by the Log Cabin Republicans and others, the administration agreed to exempt the PEPFAR cuts from the recissions bill.
The fact that advocates for “gender-affirming care” label sex-transitioning services “LGBTQ+ healthcare” puts a target on funding for traditional healthcare for gays and lesbians—one more way in which, under LGBTQ+, gays and lesbians have become collateral damage.

Pride’s Wrong Turn
Another Pride Month, and the annual celebration keeps morphing into something fewer gay people can be proud of. Instead of equal rights under the law and marriage equality, Pride now celebrates medical transitioning to change the sex of gender-nonconforming kids and letting bio male students who identify as female dominate women’s high school and collegiate sports.
I’ve reposted my recent substack column and other takes below.

LGBTQ+ Keeps Spiraling Down, Down, Down
TQ+ gets crazier and crazier, and increasingly homophobic and misogynistic. And the progressive left has chosen TQ+ insanity over LGB people, who now often find their advocates in the fight to protect gay kids and defend women’s spaces among Republicans and conservatives.
I’m glad LGB left-liberals are fighting back, but it will be a long, hard struggle given TQ+’s capture of the left and the Democratic party.
Everyone was like "the Democrats will have to moderate on this issue, it's an 80-20 issue, they can't fight public opinion forever."

No, they will literally mandate every public accommodation in the state must use the preferred pronoun of anyone claiming a cross-sex identity,… https://t.co/uXGMpLcmv1
Wow. @GovofCO just signed a bill forcing all of us to pay for elective transgender-affirming procedures… this bill even includes a slush fund to circumvent Medicaid no longer covering this.

Supreme Court Weighs Opt Outs for LGBTQ+ Lessons

Justice Jackson seems to be laboring under the delusion that there already is universal school choice in America.
The difference is you don’t have to come up with thousands of dollars to send your kid to a private bakery while still funding the public bakery with your tax dollars.
