The Human Rights Campaign says the White House is preparing to directly confront the flood of anti-trans and LGBTQ legislation. The Department of Justice may also join the fight.
The Biden administration is preparing to directly confront the rash of anti-LGBT, and specifically anti-trans bills proliferating in state legislatures, according to the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), the country’s leading LGBTQ advocacy organization.
Separately, the Department of Justice has told The Daily Beast it will “fully enforce our civil rights statutes to protect transgender individuals,” giving hope to campaigners that the DOJ is preparing to challenge in the courts the legality of bills that have been introduced—and some passed—in a number of states, outlawing transgender youth’s access to health care and sports.
The White House’s move and DOJ declaration follow President Biden’s address to the joint session of Congress last week, in which he said that he hoped “Congress can get to my desk the Equality Act to protect LGBTQ Americans. To all transgender Americans watching at home, especially young people who are so brave, I want you to know your President has your back.”

FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
Patriots are reminded that the states have never expressly constitutionally given the feds the specific power to deal with sex-related discrimination beyond the scope of voting rights issues, evidenced by the 19th Amendment.
"19th Amendment:
The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation [emphasis added]."
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
Patriots need to primary (2022) federal and state lawmakers who refuse to agree that Congress and the Oval Office don’t have the express constitutional authority to deal with politically correct, desperate Democratic LGBT “rights."
And speaking of federal government overreach, patriots also need to primary federal and state lawmakers who don’t agree to do the following about state powers stolen by the corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification feds.
When the federal government accuses someone of violating a law, judges and law enforcement officials should be required to do the following.
Judges and law-enforcement officials need to inform the accused of the constitutional clause(s) that arguably justifies the allegedly broken law for further scrutiny of the constitutionality of that law, especially where unconstitutional federal peacetime gun control laws are concerned imo.
I am with the democrats in as far as ensuring gender-switching people are guaranteed access to health care. But as far as allowing boys who claim to be girls the right to screw up girls sports, no! Anybody who backs this is mentally screwed up or has an agenda to push the issue.
Exactly. Rush Limbaugh often said "words mean things." The left has always done a very good job of controlling the language surrounding a given issue. For example, have you noticed how the term "gun control" is being abandoned in favor of "gun safety?" (Same agenda, different spin.) Republicans need to be consistent in defending laws to keep biological males out of women's sports as "Pro-woman." Instead, they are allowing the left to portray it as "Anti-trans."
I DEMAND TO KNOW WHO IS RUNNING THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION!!
What does that entail exactly though? 'Progressive' Democrats send out such mixed signals on this, one day saying 20-year-olds aren't mature and ready to buy guns or tobacco, and then the next day say in states such as California that 12-year-olds are wise and mentally prepared to decide to begin transitioning.
Fixed it.
The left has always been anti-science.
I DEMAND TO KNOW WHO IS RUNNING THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION!!!
Lol. The devil?
Yes You are right! This needs to be stopped!
States with steel backbones will prevail; but they have to be willing to withstand the withholding of federal dollars; because that is how liberal feds have brought recalcitrant states to heel (re: holder vs AZ etc).
In a fair world, the same courts that ruled Trump cannot withhold funds from law-breaking sanctuary cities would also rule that the Cadaver-in-Chief can’t do it either, especially on behalf of a jurisdiction that is following the Constitution and statutes. But we know better.
"Polls show the transgender ideology is deeply unpopular, especially among women and parents. In 2017, former President Barack Obama told NPR that his promotion of the transgender ideology made it easier for Donald Trump to win the presidency."
Feds taking away more states rights, eh?
Laugh if you will at your own peril.
Who do you think is behind Biden?
Satan. That was a nervous laugh...
Hate that bastard, but he hated me first.
Everything with biden is about sick twisted people just like himself. He likes molesting women and children and doing so on camera.
If Biden tries something like trying to pull federal funds for Education from certain GOP states, then those states should tell him to pound sand, that they’ll just end all federal interference in education in their states and instead help K-12 education breakout of the stranglehold of the K-12 education industrial complex.
Bravo!
