LGBTQ+ Americans are under attack, Human Rights Campaign declares in state of emergency warning
The Associated Press ^ | June 6, 2023

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Human Rights Campaign declared a state of emergency for LGBTQ+ people in the U.S. on Tuesday and a released “a guidebook for action” summarizing what it calls discriminatory laws in each state, along with “know your rights” information and health and safety resources.

Sounding the alarm about the current political environment, the nation’s largest organization devoted to the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer Americans said advisories warning against travel to dangerous places aren’t enough to help people already living in so-called hostile states.

The guidebook aims to help millions of vulnerable people, “whether they’re planning summer travel through regions that are becoming increasingly hostile to LGBTQ+ people, or whether they already live in a state where legislative assaults and political extremism are continuing to put a target on our backs,” Kelley Robinson, president of the Human Rights Campaign, said in a statement.

The emergency declaration is the first in the 40-year history of the HRC, and comes as Republican-dominated legislatures around the country have passed bills targeting people based on their identities, including laws restricting various aspects of transgender existence, from pronoun usage and bathroom access to medical care and more.

Among the latest, one of a series of bills nearing final passage in Louisiana would broadly ban K-12 public school employees in Louisiana from discussing sexual orientation or gender identity in the classroom. The legislation is similar to the Florida law critics dubbed “Don’t Say Gay.”

It’s the gay groomers who are attacking America. The Americans are just fighting back.

The way to tell the bias of the writers is when they begin the headline with an accusation stated as fact before mention of the accusers.

Ok then, so now we will see these gay activist types, saying certain states are “dangerous” and all that???

They can join the NAACP in declaring a travel advisory to Florida, and probably other states.

And if they make these declarations, they can count on the media to dutifully carry the message, that the state of (fill in the blank) is dangerous, and good LGBT peoples should boycott said state.

Normal humans are under attack. When a “LGBTQXYZhorseshit” person kills Christians it is dropped off the news within days.

And they arrest people for saying that a man is not a woman and a woman is not a man.

A state of emergency?

Odd. I’m not feeling it.

Yes, they are SO under attack, their flags line every downtown street in America, and their political forces march down those streets with no restrictions whatsoever.

They are so oppressed - that buildings are lighted in their honor. They are so under attack, an entire month is dedicated to propaganda on their behalf.

It rather sounds like we are an occupied nation.

Maybe they should retreat back to the closet.

Who is attacking them? If they are triggered and getting their feelings hurt by someone saying something, that is called Free Speech and they will have to live with it.

If they cannot stand the heat, TFB.

LGBTQ+ person: I demand that everyone agree to my every demand.
Average citizen: No.
LGBTQ+ person: I am under attack!

They are not under attack. However, if they keep trying to shove their filth down our throats and if they keep going after our kids to try to convert them, well...

Just like claims of rampant White extremism. No receipts.

It would be hard to write a more biased and lie-based article. It’s normal people who are under attack.
