Texas Governor Greg Abbott had a blunt response to learning that LGBTQ+ groups have written to the United Nations to complain about suffering from "systemic" discrimination in the Lone Star state.
Dismissing the international organization with a six-word post on X, formerly Twitter, Abbott wrote: "The UN can go pound sand."
His comment comes after Texas passed a string of laws that critics consider discriminatory against LGBTQ+ people. Seven new laws in particular have drawn the ire of some gay and transgender organizations and human rights groups, which joined forces to write a letter to officials at the U.N. "to raise alarm about the deteriorating human rights situation for LGBTQIA+ persons in the state of Texas, United States of America, due to hostile rhetoric and legislation from the Texas state government." The letter was signed by Equality Texas, ACLU of Texas, GLAAD, the Human Rights Campaign and the Human Rights Clinic at the University of Texas at Austin School of Law. The LGBTQ+ abbreviation is used to refer to people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning, or other. Some groups use the term LGBTQIA+ with the I standing for intersex and the A standing for asexual.

All the gaystapo is crying for is the “right” to groom children and mutilate their young bodies.
YES. DEUND UNaccountable bureaucrats. VERY BAD collective
Only seven? We need seventy times seven laws against the LGBT... nonsense.
Good for him! The best way to cure this society is honesty and truth...brute honesty and harsh truth.
It would seem Abbott has finally grown a pair…finally.
Let the UN go hound Saudi Arabia for its anti-LGBTQ policies.

what bothers me most is the UN telling Texas what to do😖
"Taken individually, the seven pieces of legislation (the 'Bills') discussed in this submission will disrupt the lives of LGBTQIA+ people of various ages and backgrounds," the letter to the U.N. said. "Put together, the Bills are a systemic attack on the fundamental rights, dignities, and identities of LGBTQIA+ persons that opens the gates for discrimination by both public and private actors."
It would sure be interesting to have these people explain, with detail, how those proposed pieces of legislation:
"will disrupt the lives of LGBTQIA+ people of various ages and backgrounds"
Especially 12, 14, and 900. I suspect under query you would get shouting and epithets, to which the response should be: "ok, groomer".
“transgender organizations and human rights groups joined forces”?
It’s the same crowd of creeps. Nothing to ‘join’.
The seven Texas laws cited in the letter as examples of LGBTQ+ discrimination are:
-Senate Bill 12, which prohibits “sexually oriented performances” on public property if audience members are under 18. Critics believe this is an attempt to target drag shows for children.
-Senate Bill 14, which bans gender-affirming medical care for transgender children.
-Senate Bill 15, which restricts transgender athlete participation in college sports.
-Senate Bill 17, which bans public universities from having diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs.
-Senate Bill 763, which allows schools to use religious chaplains for counseling purposes.
-House Bill 900, which allows schools to restrict access to “sexually explicit” or “vulgar” books.
-House Bill 2127, which restricts local governments from enacting non-discrimination ordinances beyond what is already expressly authorized in state law under various state codes.
“Taken individually, the seven pieces of legislation (the ‘Bills’) discussed in this submission will disrupt the lives of LGBTQIA+ people of various ages and backgrounds,” the letter to the U.N. said. “Put together, the Bills are a systemic attack on the fundamental rights, dignities, and identities of LGBTQIA+ persons that opens the gates for discrimination by both public and private actors.
Texans need to enforce the laws against LGBTQXYZ perversion, and charge the DAs who refuse to prosecute with nonfeasance and get them disbarred.
Thanks for that breakdown-—If you substitute “Prayer”...”Christian beliefs” or “The Bible”, this is exactly what the left has been doing to us for many decades.
That’s right! These miscreants and perverts are fortunate enough not to be tossed into the sea 🌊 with milestones around their necks!
And the rest of the country.
President Greg Abbott - has a nice ring to it.
I wish Abbot could come over here to AZ and run the place. Awesome.
Way to go governor! The perverts are more than welcome to leave Texas. I suggest they try California.
Or Washington, Oregon and New York.
