So, according to Tucker Carlson’s “theory of manliness” — it’s unmanly for men to hold babies. Does this photo of me (holding my grandson) make me look any less of a man?

New York Public Library is making banned books available to everyone for free — I ♥️ NY.

I’ve been an LGBTQ+ journalist for 10 years, longer depending on how you count. More queer people have cried on the phone to me in the past month than in the rest of my career combined.

Our country is so profoundly broken right now.

Another challenger in Maryland, and this guy is challenging in my own district!

We need as many delegates and candidates as possible to come say that in a state like Maryland with a Democratic Supermajority, LGBTQ constituents and trans constituents especially must be protected.

I'm just bringing this back up again because it keeps coming up especially in relation to current discourse over trans kids in school and in states detransitioning them.

Trans kids do NOT desist at high rates. Most persist in their gender identity.

California companies doing the right thing. 👏

Hey y'all!

Another primary challenger in Maryland who has come out and stated he will NOT let these pro-trans bills die when he gets in office.

Please support him, this district needs him:

Outing school age children (in school) because they’re trans or gay is a hate crime — that’s the tweet.

AriZona Iced Tea has stayed 99 cents for 30 years. The company is still profitable.

A Coke stayed 5 cents for 70 years at one point.

When companies say "we're forced to raise prices due to inflation," they're really saying "we're taking advantage of inflation to raise profits"

If Elon Musk wants to help America, he should buy Fox News and shut it down.

The #LGBTQ Community is under attack everywhere.

In Maryland our dem super majority legislature failed to pass meaningful bills to protect the #trans community.

In 2023 I’ll fight to pass bills that protect trans Marylanders. Their protection matters. They are welcomed here.

During my custody trial, both attorneys and the judge repeatedly misgendered me. I ultimately won that trial, but it was extra hard to get through because of that. We need more anti-discrimination rulings for actions in the courtroom. Dignity matters.

[George Takei @GeorgeTakei]

DeSantis runs his state like an autocrat. “I’m drawing the maps, and you’re going to let me” sounds distinctly not like a democracy.

[Florida Freedom to Read Project @FLFreedomRead]

“Classroom Instruction” was given the classification as “teacher-led” on the Senate Floor by Senator Diaz.

So, why is @pbcsd removing books from libraries to comply with a law tailored specifically to classroom instruction?

South Carolina S1259 has been introduced and referred to the Committee on Medical Affairs. This new bill will cruelly and forcibly detransition trans youth and make them enter the wrong puberty. We must act now to get this bill stopped quickly.

Tennessee HB2633 + HB2316 has a hearing the House Finance, Ways and Means committee on 4/19 Under this bill teachers and staff will not be required to use pronouns other than those corresponding with their “biological sex”.
