More. Omar responds:
Pretending that this act somehow balances or mitigates Israel violating the dignity & rights of Palestinians – or undermines case for defending Palestinian rights – is deplorable! https://t.co/ISzkNXT3eL

Courting Reaction
Andrew Sullivan writes:
Subject young white boys to critical race and gender theory, tell them that women can have penises, that genetics are irrelevant in understanding human behavior, that borders are racist, or that men are inherently toxic, and you will get a bunch of Jordan Peterson fans by their 20s. …
Many leftists somehow believe that sustained indoctrination will work in abolishing human nature, and when it doesn’t, because it can’t, they demonize those who have failed the various tests of PC purity as inherently wicked. In the end, the alienated and despised see no reason not to gravitate to ever-more extreme positions. They support people and ideas simply because they piss off their indoctrinators. And, in the end, they reelect Trump.
None of this is necessary. You can be in favor of women’s equality without buying into the toxicity of men; you can support legal immigration if the government gets serious about stopping illegal immigration; you can be inclusive of trans people without abolishing the bimodality of human sex and gender; you can support criminal-justice reform without believing — as the New York Times now apparently does — that America is an inherently racist invention, founded in 1619 and not 1775.

Calling Voters ‘Bigots’ Isn’t a Winning Strategy
You’re stupid because you think there’s just two genders and that you don’t consider a “bi-curious femme-friendly questioning two-spirit” an option.
You’re a monster for wondering why boys in drag are competing (and setting “records”) in girls’ sports and for not accepting that men have periods too. …
Racist. Sexist. Ableist. Imperialist. Global Warming Denialist. Fatist.
Homophobe. Islamophobe. Transphobe. Confronting-Your-Owning-A-Dog-Privilegephobe.
Blah blah blah blah blah.
No matter what, you’re wrong.

Everyone’s Rights
There is potential for federal legislation that guarantees protections for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Americans while yet shielding people of faith and good will from heavy-handed punishment by the government. But the “Equality Act” isn’t it.
Worth repeating:
If the next wave of the gay rights movement is a relentless attack on mom-and-pop businesses, all of the goodwill (and public support) for LGBT Americans built up over the years will rapidly evaporate.

An excellent piece from the editors of @NRO: https://t.co/5QXXqnSild
And I believe this Tennessee Cracker Barrel had every right to refuse to serve a Pastor who called for executing LGBT people, in the very same way that a Christian baker has every right to refuse to serve a gay couple for their same sex wedding. https://t.co/QjNOAdYCmI

Progressive Anti-Semitism
The DC Dyke March banning flags and signs with the Star of David is #antiSemitic, plain and simple. Diversity is a tremendous strength of the community of #LGBTQ supporters. We call on the organizers to reverse this policy immediately: https://t.co/6Vg3xxcL6m

Progressive anti-semitism is on the rise, including on the LGBTQ left (and including among some secular Jewish LGBTQers whose religion is now progressivism). https://t.co/0To39GlPzu

I’m not anti-French. I just don’t believe France should exist. There’s a difference between anti-Frenchism and anti-Francism.

Show me the Gaza City or Damascus Pride Parades – because Tel Aviv’s celebration of equal rights for gays is massive. #heightofhypocrisy https://t.co/nobIujxz6H

Unappeased Forever
Last year, LGBTQ activists complained that President Trump did not issue a pride month proclamation, although many high-ranking officials and executive departments did so, This year the president issued a statement, and LGBTQ activists complained about it. But of course.
As we celebrate LGBT Pride Month and recognize the outstanding contributions LGBT people have made to our great Nation, let us also stand in solidarity with the many LGBT people who live in dozens of countries worldwide that punish, imprison, or even execute individuals….

You work overtime to make equality a partisan issue. Stop. You aren’t helping. Gays and lesbians know President Trump is for equality. Your list is ridiculous spin and all about your own survival. https://t.co/PmtqDYNsOa

This, from today’s print edition, is embarrassing for the Washington Post. Didn’t the editors realize that @realdonaldtrump said three days ago what they report him today as expected not to say? pic.twitter.com/yVTdAZidFQ

More. Obama was a more self-evidendently pro-LGBTQ rights president, as progressive activists view LGBTQ rigthts. But activists give Trump no credit for anything – from his convention acceptance speech pledging “to our protect LGBTQ citizens from the violence and oppression” (following the shooting deaths at Orlando’s Pulse nightclub) to openly gay appointments, to his administration’s raising the issue of the safety and security of gay people around the globe. Instead, efforts to find a workable balance between the rights of religious traditionalists not to face state coercion to provide creative services to same-sex weddings get denounced as “bigotry” and “hate” by progressives who have nothing but contempt for the rights of those whom they detest.
This is your friendly reminder that — despite all his faults — Donald Trump is the most pro-gay president in American history. https://t.co/aRm0ILsP0Q

More Fake News from twisted gays. Only 3 out of 294 embassies requested to fly the gay flag. The rules state no flag except the stars and stripes may fly on the official pole. The embassies were told they could hang the gay flag anywhere else. SO HATEFUL https://t.co/MTOxqNlgCk
