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

Posted on 02/05/2024 7:23:13 AM PST by packagingguy

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.

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

Prepare accordingly.

Oh by golly they have finally caught on to our dastardly plan of “causing global climate change”... in order to affect lgbtq resorts!

Well...only for about a generation.

After that, it won’t be. Because organisms that don’t reproduce...disappear

This is the dumbest headline I’ve read so far today. It’s still early though.

I would think they would be more worried about sulfur and fire being rained down.

Where do they find people like this? We don’t have sanitariums anymore so I presume they come from our Universities. We really need to bring back sanitariums or Fence off our universities and lock them all up.

Some poor soul, perhaps the original poster, had to wade down into the muck of LA’s premier homosexual community newsletter to find this particular newsworthy item for our critical review.

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

Hey-sea waters have risen 11 feet in the past 6000 years! ;)
Also, it's good to know the gays on the Vineyard will not be affected by these storms specifically going after Ptown and other GayBLT communities.
And yes, I often wonder if they will get the fire-bomb treatment before His return.
