LGBTQ resort communities threatened by climate change
Los Angeles Blade ^ | December 5, 2023 | Cal Benn

As the world reckons with worsening impacts of climate change, some LGBTQ communities and destinations are grappling with the “existential” threat posed by the crisis...

President Joe Biden on Nov. 14 delivered a statement on climate change policy during his administration. Biden spoke on the American Rescue Plan, the Fifth National Climate Assessment, new transparency about the state of the country’s climate and more.

Biden emphasized “advancing environmental justice for disadvantaged communities, because they’re the ones always left behind.” Evidence of this trend can be found in LGBTQ destinations across the country.

Julian Cyr, a gay Massachusetts state senator who represents Provincetown and other towns on Cape Cod, recognizes the state’s importance to the LGBTQ community, stating that “according to the Census, it may be the highest per capita density of LGBTQ+ people certainly in the United States, and perhaps internationally.”

Provincetown, a popular gay destination located at the tip of Cape Cod, is facing worsening storms as climate change advances. These storms reshape the natural environment as well as damage the built environment. A series of Nor’easters in 2018 flooded Provincetown, damaging homes, businesses and the town hall.

“The climate crisis is … already forcing us to do a lot of planning and reevaluation of coastal resilience of our built environment,” said Cyr.

The sun came out around here—which means that “climate change” is happening and it is time to panic.

Antoninus ~ I was half expecting this article to have been sourced to the Sodom Daily News or the Gomorrah Post.

Orosius ~ Uh oh, the Babylon Bee has some stiff competition.

They'll be hard to beat...

Civilization dies a little every time this detestable song is played.

If you like piña coladas
And gettin’ caught in the rain
If you’re not into yoga
If you have half a brain
If you like makin’ love at midnight
In the dunes on the cape
Then I’m the love that you’ve looked for
Write to me and escape

Rich homos hardest hit... Get those African kids working harder in their slave jobs mining cobalt and lithium. Whatever shall we do if some resort bath house is inconvenienced.

The US census forms never ask for people’s sexual orientation, so how do they know the per capita density of homosexuals in various places? Do they send homosexual census employees to various resort towns to check them out?

LGBT Resorts are disadvantaged? What kind of silliness is that?

Almost a Grand Slam title - just need to work racism and the patriarchy into it, somehow. :)

“ Our civilization is about to be destroyed, and not by climate change.”

Our civilization will be destroyed by its own unbelievable stupidity.

They send Feds in their Patriot Front gear so they fit right in unnoticed.

Faggotry is a bigger threat to humanity than climate.

Take the number of queer bars and bathhouses in the area...

Why only LGBTQ communities?

Aren’t straight communities threatened, too?

The BIPOC communities are threatened, as are the LGBTQ. Straight White people, staying in the exact same location are not threatened because they have privilege.

What does BIPOC mean?

I’m not up to date on liberal acronyms. As for LGBTQ, to me it should mean Liberty, Guns, Bibles, Trump, and BBQ.
