"This issue has unfortunately does put… some Muslim families on the same side of an issue as White supremacists and outright bigots," said Democrat Kristin Mink of Montgomery County Council for District 5. "I would not put you in the same category as those folks, although, you know, it's complicated because they're falling on the same side of this particular issue."

Funny how they've no such qualms about treating other people's moral convictions as bigotry. When my religious beliefs are bigotry, but Muslims get a little extra consideration, that must be an example of the Christian privilege folks have been talking about.


Also, the same thing, but in Canada:

A Wisconsin county is considering a resolution declaring sanctuary status for self-identified "transgender and nonbinary individuals," including children.

Board supervisors in Dane County, which includes the state capital of Madison, will vote on a resolution "declaring Dane County a sanctuary for trans and nonbinary individuals," at the county board meeting this Thursday after it was referred to the executive committee earlier this month.

"In this hostile environment, some cities and counties across the country are taking steps to support and protect trans and nonbinary individuals," the resolution states. "Dane County values its transgender and nonbinary residents and vigorously opposes measures that would allow legal violence toward trans people in accessing gender-affirming care or expression."

The resolution states the county’s position that it’s a "fundamental right" for children to access sex-reassignment drugs and procedures.

And what measure are they talking about that "would allow legal violence toward trans people in accessing gender-affirming care or expression"

Probably an intentional mischaracterization of laws/proposals to regulate or ban transgender procedures or grooming.  As we know, the Left is trans-honest.



Aaaand now we have something called "Drag Floyd," which is the theory that TPTB are hoping to provoke "anti-trans" violence. Plus, Biden reportedly dispatching federal agents to safeguard the precious pride events.

Not sure "Drag Floyd" makes sense, though. If Antifa tried to have another summer of love*, could they really do it on that basis? A lot of the people that showed up for BLM riots just wouldn't be interested in trans issues.


*I guess that would the summer of the love that dare not speak its name.

The portmanteau of 'trans' and 'ANTIFA' is exactly what you'd expect — far-left transgender activists willing to intimidate, harass and even use violence to advance their radical new ideas about gender.

Much like ANTIFA, they're not a formal group of card-carrying members, with the term 'Trantifa' coined on social media to highlight the strong transgender presence within the anarchist outfit.

So-called Trantifa members are a small group of trans activists on the edges of the movement who post angry rhetoric online and gather at rallies.

UN investigator Reem Alsalem told DailyMail.com 'screaming trans activists' were a worrying and 'increasing trend' that must be tackled.

A little push back from an an unexpected source

Quote
Students at Marshall Simonds Middle School in Burlington, Massachusetts, were asked to wear rainbow-colored shirts to celebrate Pride Month on June 2, but a preplanned protest broke out with students tearing up Pride flag stickers and chanting: 'USA are my pronouns.'

Decked out in red, white and blue, the students destroyed the decorations lining the hallway the student organization Spectrum Group distributed, including a quote from American playwright Tennessee Williams, signage saying the school was a 'safe space' and 'equality for everyone' decorations.

'I was shocked and horrified,' Nila Almstrom, a parent of an LGBT student, said at a town hall meeting about the protest.

If disfiguring children is that important to them…

When people talk about the possibility of another civil war, I used to always point out that the left-right divide isn’t nearly as neatly separated into two different regions of the country, compared to the situation in 1860. Now, with so many people voting with their feet, things are getting a little more 1860-ish.

 So it's Flag Day. I thought I'd check in, so we could see what kind of Flag Day display Ultimate Patriot Joe Biden has going for us at the White House right now.

Hmmmm. Decorating the White House with giant flags is more of a Pride Month observance thing, I guess.

All-Muslim Michigan City Council Bans “Pride” Flag Displays on Government Property With Passage of Flag Neutrality Resolution
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/06/all-muslim-michigan-city-council-bans-pride-flag/

Quote
The revolt against the radical LGBTQI+ takeover of the U.S. won another battle this week with the all-Muslim Hamtramck City Council, located near Detroit, Michigan, unanimously voting on Tuesday to ban the display on government property of flags that promote religion, sexuality, race, ethnicity or political groups. By definition the measure bans government displays of the “Pride” flag, the Black Lives Matter flag, Blue Lives Matter, etc.

Quote
The proposal called for the ban of all but five flags from being flown on city properties — including the American flag, the state of Michigan flag, the Hamtramck flag and the Prisoner of War flag. The fifth one is known as the nations’ flag, one that represents the countries from which the city’s immigrant residents hail and reflects the community’s international character.

I could see someone claiming that gives them a loophole if loophole is the right word.

Glad our military is staying focused on what their job is

Quote
'Since January of this year, more than 400 anti-LGBTQ+ laws have been introduced at the state level,' said Burt, the Space Force's deputy chief of space operations.

'That number is rising and demonstrates a trend that could be dangerous for service members, their families, and the readiness of the force as a whole,' the general added.

Burt explained that in some cases, the most qualified candidate for a transfer or promotion might be passed over, if the laws in the state of the new posting could negatively impact them or their families.

I call BS

How much do state laws affect promotion of military personnel?  I would also like to see where that "400" number comes from.


Quote
'Since January of this year, more than 400 anti-LGBTQ+ laws have been introduced at the state level,' said Burt, the Space Force's deputy chief of space operations.
Ok, "introduced" which is a meaningless number if you can't follow up with how many passed into law. 

Quote
'I consider their job performance and relevant experience first. However, I also look at their personal circumstances, and their family is also an important factor.

'If a good match for a job does not feel safe being themselves and performing at their highest potential at a given location, or if their family could be denied critical health care due to the laws in that state, I am compelled to consider a different candidate, and, perhaps less qualified.
So she is going to do the discrimination based on her view of the cultural climate in the area?

Yep.  This quote appears and says the bills "'attack the LGBTQ+ community'" yet the first example below was Florida that only addressed adult sexual content allowed in school libraries.
Quote
According to a report last week from the Human Rights Campaign, state legislatures have this year introduced more than 525 bills introduced that 'attack the LGBTQ+ community'.

The group, which is the nation's largest organization devoted to LGBTQ rights, said more than 220 of the bills concerned the transgender community, and more than 70 have become law.

They also refer to attacking transgender children which tells me a lot of what they are referring to are bills aimed at restricting transgender surgery and prescription drugs given to children.  That is the kind of misinformation and BS that pisses off a lot of people about politics.
