GLAAD, a nongovernmental media-monitoring organization founded by LGBT members of the media, on Thursday reiterated its support for Smollett. The group said in a statement that the actor had been doubly victimized: first by the attack and then by the doubts cast around it.

For most normal people they feel confirmation of what they suspected from the beginning.

19 Dec 2018: National Review: The Senate Codes ‘Gender Identity’ Into Anti-Lynching Bill
By Madeleine Kearns
A source on the Hill told me that many Republicans are uneasy about the coding of “gender identity” as it had not appeared in the original text. Some tried to strike it from the bill, but these efforts were unsuccessful. This is partly because “gender identity” was slipped into the bill at the last minute. Apparently, this amendment was made to the manager’s package put together by judiciary staff — which are intended to be uncontroversial clarifications — led by Republican Senator Chuck Grassley. The Democrats were then able to weaponize this as serious opposition could be interpreted as Republicans being opposed to anti-lynching legislation.

Though the bill will be sent to the House, it is unlikely to be voted on. Nevertheless, the casual insertion of “’gender identity” into federal law sets a dangerous precedent...

More leftist propaganda from Assbut Press. It’s not about facts, it’s about your agenda. Never let the truth get in the way of the agenda.

Imagine what it must feel like to be a member of 4 protected classes (black, homo, democrat, hollywood) and feel so invincible that you can get away with anything. And I’M supposed to be the privileged one?

So Glaad is willing to stick with the lies? Sort of like gays did with their beloved Matthew Shepard? The Shepard murder wasn’t about his homosexuality. It was about drug money.

Just more lies spewed by these gay groups.

“I’m not going to stop believing people who say they have suffered,” Gay wrote. “Because more often than not they are telling the truth.”

According to Roxanne Gay, she has a better than 50% chance of being right, if she believes a homosexual or black person who says they were victimized.

Sounds like an excellent reason to withhold judgement until some investigation is done.

How can anyone be “baffled” nowadays. Has no one paid attention to the “hate” assaults and threats of the last few years. ALL of them turned out to be hoaxes. A surprise and a bafflement would attend upon a real conservative MAGA hatter actually smacking an AOC shirt wearing leftie with a plastic baseball bat.

The far left loony bin is throwing up just enough doubt to let the look-aid drinkers cling to their fantasy.

Wasteful, meaningless crap legislation. Who the hell has been “lynched” lately?

Unreal some Republicans put up with this BS just to prove they’re “woke.”
