We Told You We Were Next
So many of you gays on DL pshaw'd about those of us concerned about the Texas abortion bills being OBVIOUSLY only the first step in a big plan that involved REVERSING GAINS MADE IN GAY CIVIL-RIGHTS.
We told you they'd, too, be coming for us. But, noooo. You scoffed because their immediate sites seemed to only be set on women's rights.... and you only have scorn for fish.
Here's some slightly edited parts of the article:
"The amicus brief (pdf) that Murray highlighted—co-authored by the architect of a new abortion ban in Texas-- also takes aim at Lawrence v. Texas, a 2003 case that overturned homophobic state sodomy laws, and the 2015 equal marriage case Obergefell v. Hodges, suggesting that the court should not "hesitate to write an opinion that leaves those decisions hanging by a thread. Lawrence and Obergefell, while far less hazardous to human life, are just as lawless as Roe."
"Of course" the so-called "right to life" movement is also coming after cases that established key LGBTQ+ protections, said Mystal, "because it's never about 'life' and always about 'Christian fundamentalism.'"

I would say about 90% of DL found the abortion ban disgusting and dangerous in terms of civil rights. A few right wing loons and some naive twinks thinking it won't have any bearing on their lives as gay men were the minority. The board is comprised of older gay men and a few lesbians who knew what was up right away.

The biggest threat to REVERSING GAINS MADE IN GAY CIVIL-RIGHTS comes from unhinged trans activists advocating childhood sex changes.

Perhaps not, R2, but ask your doctor about it at your next check up. It's perfectly normal and healthy to pshaw once in a while but incorrectly pshaw'sing can lead to toe jam, inverted nipples, and the reversal of civil rights gains.

R6 - I am not anti-trans but you are right. We are very insular. Being in a developing country has made me agree with you and other DL-ers about the trans issue (not with the anti-trans crazy trolls though). Urged by the church and festering right-wing groups, much of Eastern and Central Europe has become even more anti-gay than ever. Why? There was zero to little knowledge about human sexuality and now the masses are being fed that "those gays want to force your kids to transition". I hear it every day as nationalist talking point and also, it's being touted as "LGBTQ propaganda" made to force people to change their sex and get the "evil vaccine". Witness Poland and Hungary...Romania is no better and neither is Bulgaria. What is scary is that a lot of southern Europe is also jumping on that wagon. American missionaries all over are fueling that flame further and, since everyone secretly admires Americans, they buy into it. This is reflected by our own "Eastern and Central Europe" at home in places like Texas and the far right groups gaining momentum.
IF gay men and lesbiand don't start to be more vocal and educate and reach out, we are screwed and so are many of others gay people all over the world.

This should be California’s cue to remove Prop 8 from the books (it’s still technically the law). Because if the fascist SCOTUS overturns Obergefell, then same-sex marriages could be invalidated immediately.

Not unhinged. Prop 8 was overturned by SCOTUS, not by the people or legislature of California.
Similarly, many states still have “sodomy” bans on their books. They’re not able to enforce them, but if Lawrence is overturned, there’s nothing preventing the fascists from implementing $10,000 bounties for people to snitch on men having sex with each other.

But thanks for continuing to bump this thread, you loathsome trans-hating freak. People need to be aware of the danger facing ALL of us in the LGBTQ community because of the fascists you love so much (because they’re attacking trans people).
But the enemy of your enemy is not our friend. To demand the extermination of trans people is to play right into the GQP agenda which is, basically, Gilead. (See: Texas abortion law.)

Way back when (aka back in the day) didn't they arrest us for just being gay? They didn't have to catch you with your dick up someone's ass, they arrested you for being with another man they knew was gay.
It was assumed you were engaging in sodomy if you were a gay man and therefore in violation of the law.

Correct, r19. If men were dancing with each other in a bar, they were all subject to arrest.
And this is the world that the GQP fascists want to drag us back into. Nothing to do with trans. (I’m sure some freak will be along in a minute to shriek that anti-gay laws were somehow Christine Jorgenson’s fault.)

r18 no one here is advocating for the extermination of trans people.
But I can be persuaded to change my mind if you are going to promote trans blindness to the harm RADICAL (is said radical got it?) trans activists have done to gay and women's rights. You don't win by putting your agendas before the community you rode in on or by erasing half of humanity and the indignities they have suffered.

R8 if there is a rise in homophobia because of increased hatred for trans people, that’s not trans peoples fault, rather it’s hate filled straights. How can you not see that. Straight people enact anti gay laws, straight people attack gay people in the street and it’s straight people that cause discrimination against all LGBTQ people in areas of housing, employment and discrimination. Jeez you people.

Yeah R26 and the trans militants (like the ones that bullied that poor guy from the LGB group) are giving them an extra weapon to hurl at us and using our movement as a human shield. Like you said, we ALREADY have enough hate to deal with from straights...let's now be associated with trans who bully and has-been Hollywood loons who say their kid is "trans" for attention (cuz we weren't also beat on because we were confused with pedophiles by the ignorant and hateful masses).

And nobody was talking about transphobia. Read my statement again (I am R27 not R29 (who makes a very valid argument BTW because trans and gay ARE different)). I said no issue with trans rights but don't confuse the already ignorant and hateful homophobes by now showing that we are also into changing our gender, encourage kids to do so (thanks Hollywood bimbos). No, we are a sexual orientation. They are people who have an issue with gender. Let's not mix apples and oranges because, in the end, we gays and lesbians, are gonna be the ones getting them thrown at us the most.

Trans activists, if you want to save the lives of other trans people, you should work to transition trans people out of the sex work industry. Being a trans prostitute ups your chances of being murdered by a high margin.
You should also encourage trans people to get out of abusive relationships if they are in one. They are more likely to be murdered by an abusive partner than a random stranger.
And encourage your trans brethren to disclose their trans status to unaware straight men before having sex with them. It's the right thing to do.
Other than that, live a productive life and contribute something to society. And take a break from Twitter.

It's about eugenics.
White supremacists are terrified of having their special status taken away from them and they think the best way to protect themselves is by ratcheting up the white birth rate. Outlawing abortion and birth control, forcing gay men and lesbians back in the closet to get them breeding, and nipping trans rights in the bud are all part of the plan. So yeah, they are kind of definitely interrelated in that way.

It’s now common knowledge that Russia has an interest in influencing the American information space, interfering in our elections, and otherwise sowing chaos in our country. But how exactly do they try to accomplish this? In the second episode of Trust But Verify, we examine the Kremlin's strategy for dividing Americans through influence operations, in the hopes that we can better defend ourselves against this information barrage.

Reaction to trans-radical activism fueled the Texas abortion reversal.
