CHICAGO -- Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker on Friday signed into law two measures aimed at safeguarding the rights of LGBTQ+ people as other states move to restrict the community, just days after the Human Rights Campaign declared a state of emergency for LGBTQ+ Americans.

One of the new laws will update language in existing acts to be more gender inclusive in order to affirm LGBTQ+ youth in foster care, and the other will make it easier for LGBTQ+ couples to marry. The laws will be effective on Aug. 8 and on Jan. 1, 2024, respectively.

A Constitutional amendment should be passed that prevents this special class of people from being taxed. It’s the right thing to do.

Always accuse the enemy of what you are doing to him.

They’re under attack meaning we don’t fall to the ground and worship them like false gods.

It’s a “state of emergency” I tell ya.

Fake persecution to justify the creation of a better-than-you protected class.

Fatass Pritzker is at it again. The only governor who holds a “turkey shoot” in his largest city EVERY WEEKEND.

Theodore John Kaczynski (/kəˈzɪnski/ kə-ZIN-skee; May 22, 1942 – June 10, 2023), also known as the Unabomber
b. Chicago Il

For a period of several weeks in 1966, Kaczynski experienced intense sexual fantasies of being female and decided to undergo gender transition. He arranged to meet with a psychiatrist, but changed his mind in the waiting room and did not disclose his reason for making the appointment. Afterwards, enraged, he considered killing the psychiatrist and other people whom he hated. Kaczynski described this episode as a “major turning point” in his life:[32][33][34] “I felt disgusted about what my uncontrolled sexual cravings had almost led me to do. And I felt humiliated, and I violently hated the psychiatrist. Just then there came a major turning point in my life. Like a Phoenix, I burst from the ashes of my despair to a glorious new hope.”

FWIW, Pritzker’s “sister” is “trans”.

A preview of post-2024 America. If the democrats steal one more election it will be this way everywhere, and get ready for President Prickster.

Ridiculous. I’m getting sick and tired of those around us that spend their entire existence thinking of new ways to use and abuse their genitals.

If they were really concerned about language, they’d be insisting that we have a standard for our spoken and written language, rather than making an exception for immigrants, the ignorant, or the feral class. We have races and groups of people embracing and encouraging the destruction of the English language with social, governmental, and corporate approval. They either didn’t learn from the story of Babel, or are trying to repeat it purposely. Who noticed a decade or so ago when the national news stations changed their grammar, being careful to always add a male or female gender pronoun when saying someone’s name? Few, I expect. Make people stupid enough and they never see it coming, which is why they go for the senior citizens first- wisdom comes with age.

They are so much under attack that they have no fewer than 152 Special Recognition Days every year. Those poor oppressed people.

“…the new laws will update language in existing acts to be more gender inclusive in order to affirm LGBTQ+ youth in foster care…”

We’ve been told ad nauseam that gender is a MYTH, a social construct, so how can a law possibly deal with something that doesn’t exist?
