Greg Abbott Says UN Can 'Go Pound Sand' After LGBTQ+ Backlash
MSN ^ | 02/26/2024 | Chloe Mayer

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.

"the A standing for asexual."

Texans know that the a stands for animal sex...or is that covered by the I?

My response would be:

This is the UN that hired UNWRA workers to rape, torture and kill Israelis, right? right?

It amazes me that more aren’t trying to ride this wave of populist outcry.

I wasn't aware that sexualizing children and trying to mutilate them was a civil right.

I am reminded of a joke about a gay blade who walked into an old West saloon and saw no one was there. He says to the bar Keeper..

“Hi where is everyone”?
Bar Keep: “They are all out of town.”
IN his falsetto voice he says..”Well, where is the Sheriff?”
Bar Keep: “He’s out of town!”
In a higher falsetto voice “Oh really well where is the town council?”

Bar Keep: “They’re all out of town!”
In a very high thrilled falsetto voice: “Oh really? Well what are they doing?”

Bar Keep: “There hanging a queer!”

Suddenly reverting to a deep bass voice.”Oh, really?” Then he left town.

I would assume the UN is a arm of the WEF.

Lets put both out of business!

You mean millstones. Milestones are the things they tie around the necks of office workers.

Thank you for referencing that article ChicagoConservative27.

"Greg Abbott Says UN Can 'Go Pound Sand' After LGBTQ+ Backlash"


As a side note to this thread, please consider the following.

Not only have the states never amended the Constitution to expressly protect desperate Democratic & RINO politically correct, vote-winning, so-called LGBTQ+ “rights,” here's another allegation for Gov. Abbott to complain about regarding possible UN interference with a sovereign state.

Abbott was sidelined for a while when the RINOs and dems went after AG Paxton. Since that’s been put aside Paxton is coming back with a vengeance.

“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.”

Signing such a document should be considered probable cause to surveil them and search their properties.

I wonder what these people do in private when they do these things openly.

If they do not repent, that will be the least of their worries.
