MSNBC host Joe Scarborough said Tuesday on “Morning Joe” that Republicans who support former President Donald Trump are in a “death cult for American democracy.” Scarborough said, “These are attacks on America. These aren’t just attacks on Joe Biden. This is an attack on America that we have a he even Donald Trump participating in since he came on our show in December of 2015 saying that American leaders were just as bad as Vladimir Putin, who openly kills opponents.” He continued, “There are few words. You have these freaks, weirdos, insurrectionists, radicals on the far, far right. They are...

Ugh!

The third annual Sacramento Children’s Museum Pride event, the only children-centric Pride event in the region according to organizers, was met Saturday morning with masked protesters. “You know look, we’re here, we’re thriving, you’re not going to make us go away, so let’s all just get along,” said Lexi Howard with the event in an interview with KCRA 3 discussing the protesters. Intense exchanges were volleyed into the crowd as Rancho Cordova Police stood between eventgoers and protesters.

An organization called “Flee Red States” is helping LGBT people who live in Republican-dominated states find homes in “less hostile” states, and even in different countries. Really. Real estate broker Bob McCranie started the service in Texas. McCranie called it a “sad thing” to have to change the nature of his business from selling Texan homes to helping residents find housing elsewhere but said it was necessary because Texas legislation is “unsafe” for LGBT people. McCranie told Austin local news outlet KXAN that he felt the need to expand the service because of demand from other states.

ORLANDO — Arlo Dennis has decided on a deadline to get their family out of Florida: July 1. That is the day a slate of new laws signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis targeting the LGBTQ community take effect. Doctors will be allowed to deny care based on their moral beliefs. The use of preferred pronouns will be banned in public schools. And children will be barred from attending drag shows, among other measures. One law that prohibits gender-affirming health care for transgender people under the age of 18 is already being enforced. The Republican governor vying to become president in...

The mayor of Jacksonville, Florida has refused to succumb to 'wokeism' and order the city's lifeguards to cover their chests, after a transgender person hoping to be employed at a city pool exposed their breasts. The transgender person, who has not been named, attended a trial session for lifeguard hopefuls at the Cecil Aquatic Center on April 27. During the course of the tryout, the female-born person, who identifies as male but has not had top surgery, exposed their breasts and did not attempt to cover themselves. Children were within 15 to 20 feet from the lifeguard training and the...

Today, we have a fascinating interview with Jeannette Cooper, a mom who lost custody of her child three years ago for not fully, unquestioningly accepting her daughter's claim that she was transgender. We discuss Jeannette's experience, and she talks about how she believes there is a social aspect to the sudden surge in kids who claim not to be the gender they were born as and what it was like to have to basically be excised from her daughter's life over this issue. Jeannette also tells us how she's been working over the past three years to raise awareness about...

Molly Kearney — the skit show’s first non-binary cast member — dropped into the guest seat via a harness to slam politicians trying to eliminate healthcare for transgender youth. “As you know, I’ve been wanting to come to Update and talk about trans people. But I have them for a much longer time than that wanted to fly down from the ceiling,” the freshman featured player said. “But I’m not gonna lie, this harness is pretty tight and my groin area is beefed. I’ve been hung up by my genitals for far too long and I’m starting to feel like...

In a move even more disgusting than her botox-filled face, Madonna is heading to Nashville, NOT to fundraise for the families of victims of the Covenant School shooting, but for "trans rights" groups. "With anti-LGBTQ+ legislation passing in Tennessee and other states, longtime social activist Madonna announced an additional stop on her The Celebration Tour in Nashville on December 22nd. A portion of proceeds from the show will go to trans rights organizations.

Hormone therapy for trans kids supported at ‘highest levels’ of Biden admin: HHS Assistant Secretary of Health Rachel Levine has been called “reprehensible” for proudly announcing that “gender-affirming” treatment of transgender kids is supported “at the highest levels” of President Biden’s administration. Levine, the highest-ranking transgender official in US history, made the claim at a talk in Connecticut last month when asked about criticism of health centers treating children with the likes of puberty blockers and hormones. She maintained the attacks are “ideologically and politically motivated,” calling them “unconscionable.” “I can say that the children, their families and you all...

Students at Wellesley College, a top liberal arts school that has only accepted women for the past 150 years, are set to vote Tuesday on whether transgender and nonbinary applicants should be allowed to apply. The private Massachusetts college, which boasts on its website about being a place for “women who will make a difference in the world,” is holding the referendum after some students flagged concerns about the current admission policy. Wellesley — whose alumnae include Hillary Clinton and Madeleine Albright — at the moment only accepts students who “live and consistently identify” as women. The referendum, which is...

Inclusivity shouldn’t just be present in the workplace — it should be practiced during the hiring process as well. But unfortunately, nonbinary job seekers are facing clear biases during their job search. According to a new report from Business.com, a business resource platform, over 80% of nonbinary people believe that identifying as nonbinary would hurt their job search. Similarly, 51% believe their gender identity has affected their workplace experience “very or somewhat negatively.” Ryan McGonagill, director of industry research at Business.com and author of the report, says these statistics show just how much work there is to do around diversity,...

Hungary's conservative laws on gender may end up before the EU's top court(LifeSiteNews) — Hungary is on track for another clash with the European Union—and once again, the fight is over transgender ideology. In 2020, the Hungarian parliament passed a ban on changing one’s gender on identification, with the country’s Constitutional Court ruling the following year that the law does not apply retroactively, meaning that any person who applied to change their gender legally prior to May 29, 2020, were able to continue that process. Recently, however, the Constitutional Court upheld their previous ruling—and, implicitly, the ban—by rejecting a petitioner’s...

Who is in your potential dating pool? That was the question asked in a recent study, and the choices included a variety of gender “identities,” including cisgender woman, transgender man, and someone who is non-binary. Unsurprisingly, 87.5% of individuals only chose either cisgender man or cisgender woman (translation: man or woman!). And one of the study’s authors, writing for Psychology Today, is upset about these “societal prejudices.”

Whoopi Goldberg told her co-hosts Tuesday on ABC’s “The View” that during the State of the Union address, President Joe Biden should call out Republicans who she accuses of trying to “change history.” Goldberg said, “What I need from him desperately is I need for him to say to all those brown kids who adults keep saying your history isn’t important, ‘I’m your president, I’m telling you it is. I’m your president. I’m telling you that I don’t accept the erasure of black and brown people from America’s history because there is not American history without these black and brown...

A trans-identified male who claims to be the “mother” of two “trans kids” testified before a Minnesota House Committee in favor of Minnesota becoming a trans refuge state for people seeking out-of-state medical sex changes. The biological male has a trans partner as well as two children who are involved in gender identity. “My name is Amber Mom; I use she/her pronouns,” began the male who identifies as a woman and a mother. “I am also a proud transgender woman. But more importantly, I am the mother of two wonderful transgender and gender-expansive children.” Amber described the “torrent of damaging,...
