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 not even “gay groomers” and that you would use that language as a talking point only adds support for HRCs BS “state of emergency”

It’s leftist radicals and activists climbing all over the LGB community to gain visibility, relevance, money and power. The insane impulse to keep added letters and symbols to a very easily understood natural group of same sex attracted people is finding overdue backlash in the LGB community.

The transgender issue isn’t even about transgenders but there’s too much on that topic to unpack right now. Maybe I will discuss it later.

I’m sorry, but I’m going to need to see EXAMPLES of this violence.

I’m betting it’s things like misgendering, or the use of dead-names.

It isn't LGBTQ+ who are under attack.

It is our children and their God-given attributes and futures under spiritual attack by the demonic LGBTQ+ perverts and their demon enablers.

No! Actually it’s the other way around. Sodomites are attacking us and coming after our children…

I am not sure if the headline is declaring our progress or lamenting the plight of the queer.

Christians and their morals are under attack: state of emergency!

See, anyone can claim anyone can claim anything.

Funny how they shove their vile agenda in our faces, ignoring our moral values systems altogether because they reject it, and then whine about a “state of emergency” when parents get fed .up and protest!

Yeah sure, they’re under attack because they can’t use my tax money to mutilate themselves, ok...
