In response to the hundreds of anti-LGBTQ-plus bills being introduced across the nation San Francisco's transgender and drag queen communities are joining forces to fight back.

"One of the things that is really upsetting about this is they aren't just attacking us as people, but they're also attacking our pursuit of happiness," said Honey Mahogany, transgender activist and Chair of the San Francisco Democratic Party. "Our community's really been at attack for a while now.

If a guy wants to wear a dress, high heels and make-up I could care less. And I don’t think most care either.

BUT, if that guy wants to force me to pretend they are a real girl, I have an issue. And if that guy wants to compete against my girls in sports we have a HUGE issue!

Just exactly how do San Francisco’s transgender and drag queen communities plan to ‘fight back’ against laws being passed in sane states and communities? Will they stomp their feet? Or show up a public meetings to protest how wronged they are? That should go really well for them.

Homosexual acts should have aLways remained illegal.

Men cannot be women.

Screw the happiness of these perverts and lunatics.

Some things SHOULD be suppressed.

May their milestones be heavy around their necks and may they be tossed into stormy seas.

I don’t care. i don’t care of drag queens put on adult shows in adult venues. But putting on sexual shows for children is just not acceptable.

Anti-porn for kids, anti-kids at strip club / live porn shows bills, they mean.

Sick and crazy that the press will mislead and support even this stuff.

For seven decades San Francisco’s Finnochio’s provided the best drag freak show in the West. Now the freaks have truly taken over the City.

“And we’ll fight, fight, fight until we break a nail.”

From old WRIF-FM skit of a future all gay battalion, envisioned around 1990. Now it’s Gen. Milley’s US Army.

Well then, it sounds like you DO care if a guy puts on a dress. We shouldn’t shirk from that.

Nobody is cancelling drag shows. They’re just making sure that they aren’t performed for MINORS.

Like most adults, I don’t care what the freaks do behind closed doors.

They hit the line when their deviancy is pushed into the public and into kid friendly areas.

There’s a reason we have public decency laws.

If the freaks can’t handle that, they’re more than welcome to gtfo

Well then, it sounds like you DO care if a guy puts on a dress. We shouldn’t shirk from that. Comments like this prove that people miss the point completely. It’s not about the dress. It’s about the tyranny of someone trying to force their subjective reality on to others and insisting that it should be treated as an objective reality. They want to be treated/deferred to in a manner of their own choosing, even when they are not in the room. That’s the behavior of the nobles of old that felt they had a manifest from God to rule over they lowly subjects as they wished.
