Gov. Josh Shapiro will be joining Pennsylvania’s LGBTQ community and their supporters at Lancaster Pride Festival on Saturday.
His announcement came the same day the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that parents must be allowed a provision to opt out their children from class when course material conflicts with their religious beliefs. The suit over LGBTQ book characters was the latest in a series of legal actions, state and federal legislation, presidential executive orders and funding threats targeting the rights of LGBTQ people.
In Pennsylvania the major hospitals that provide gender affirming care to trans people of all ages, abruptly dropped all treatment to those under 19, after President Trump threatened to withhold federal funding, leaving distressed families and patients with no where to turn for healthcare.
Shapiro spoke out for the rights of trans children last year at Central PA Pride Fest in Harrisburg, calling out politicians who bully trans children as “despicable” and saying he would stand up to bullies on behalf of those young people.
Earlier this week, Shapiro, joined by Lt. Gov. Austin Davis, spoke to a group of more than a hundred people at a Pride reception at the State Library in Harrisburg. He told participants as the 48th governor of the commonwealth, that he was proud to be there with them and stand in front of the rainbow pride flag.
The 17th annual Lancaster Pride Festival will be held at the Lancaster Convention Center and surrounding neighborhood from noon to 6 p.m. The event is free and features more than 200 vendors, food trucks, history exhibits, and a headline performance by RuPaul’s Drag Race star Heidi N Closet.
Shapiro is scheduled to speak at 12:30 p.m. at the Main Stage on Vine St.

Well, DemonRATS really never have any trouble when surrounded by Sexual Deviants. No need to worry about him.
Another liberal, self-hating Jew.
Welcome to today’s Democrat Party.
might be tough trying to outfag, I mean outflank, Buttiplug.
Attacks on rights? Man, people are so ridiculous.
It’s not gender affirming care. It’s chop off some organs so you think you look like the other sex that you aren’t, so as to bolster your delusion.
If the LIBs don’t murder you in the womb, they will try to cut off your organs as a defenseless child. The child abuser party stands tall.
HIS PRIOR RECORD IN POLITICS IS ABYSMAL
HE IS UNAWARE & INEFFECTIVE ON EVERY LEVEL.
HE LIES WITH EASE-—AND NEVER BACKTRACKS WHEN CAUGHT...
WOULD NEVER VOTE FOR HIM
amid increasing attacks on LGBTQ rights“
Ugh we’re done with that sh*t
What rights don’t they have? They have the same rights I do but just because they choose to smoke a little bone doesn’t mean they deserve special privileges.
I guess lgbtq+ losing special privileges doesn’t make great headlines
Will it next be LGBTQP, adding polygamy?
Making special treatments and recognition for LGBTQ people disappear isnt an attack. They wanted to be equal.
No doubt. Pedophilia, bestiality, necrophilia ...
“What rights don’t they have? “
They use the term ‘rights’ to make an implicit assertion that what they choose to do is good and and equal to, say, biblical living and that you CANNOT disagree. (So the whole basis of their being is what they do with their pee pee).
I don’t know how asking people to wait for a kid to turn 18 before performing medical interventions that are at best experimental. We may have had transgender people lurking in our society since ancient times but the only way they could be fulfilled was by cosmetic means like clothing and makeup and hair removal. Now we have surgical procedures that claim to be able to change someone so completely that only a gynecologist could tell the difference. Yet the surgical patient has to take medication constantly and insert an alliance into the foramen to prevent it returning to its previous state. You can cut stuff off but after that it’s all rearranging the tissues. If it doesn’t work you have a severe injury. At some point the legal profession will become involved and put an end to the practice with enormous lawsuits.
Appliance not alliance.
There are no specific LGBTQ ‘rights’. Everyone has the same rights.
