Colorado artist Lorie Smith said she had received a request to create designs for a same-sex wedding.

The man named in the request said he never asked for that. Stewart — who didn’t want his full name used out of fear of being harassed — is not gay.

“I’ve been active and vocal on LGBTQ rights,” he told The Post. “So it was frustrating to see my name being used.” https://t.co/ankLENjYRN

@AnnMemmott @RobertDyas That sounds terrible!

Would you be willing to speak on your experience as an LGBT customer of RobertDyas or other businesses for an NHK article on Pink Money?

As a result of Florida’s law that is intended to target drag events, we are now at the time when Pride events are being cancelled.

Treasure Coast, Florida, a region with 500k population, has officially cancelled its Pride Parade citing the new law.

@SCMPNews Meaning nothing given the French government has supported the ROC's independent involvement in foreign relations for decades.

International law and history continues to recognize Taiwan as a country independent of the PRC.

Viagra is gender affirming care.
Hair transplants are gender affirming care.
Breast implants are gender affirming care.
Treating low testosterone in straight men is gender affirming care.

Republicans are trying to erase the trans community, not ban gender affirming care.

@SCMPNews Why the SCMP should be ashamed of the puppet to Xi it's become

[Emeri Burks @ebwords]

@SCMPNews This what-about-ism is flawed and once again reveals SCMP's hopeless bias towards the Xi administration.

While true that there are no doubt other convictable war criminals in existence, the indicted one has instigated this war of aggression and ensuing crimes against humanity.

#TransgenderDayofVisibility can't be "happy" given the assault currently being perpetrated on trans individuals by political demagogues, and institutions, and mass shooters. But it's an essential day nonetheless.

Please share these infographics to become a #AntiTransphobe.

@NPR's @arishapiro answering my question at the Westminister Town Hall Forum.

What advice do you have for minority journalists like yourself fighting to get their foot in the door of a predominantly cis, white, straight, male news industry?

@SCMPNews So absolutely nothing has changed then

Just in: Half of all trans youth in America are either in the process of losing care right now or have already lost it. That is a huge number of trans youth that will be forced to detransition.

I fear the suicide rates and mental health crisis this will cause the community.

He is the 52nd indicted for crimes against humanity by the International Criminal Court. The indictment may have no teeth, but at least he'll have infamous company.

@ErinInTheMorn And I love how people like the bigot/hate-crime advocate below scour the internet for off-putting images of their political enemies in order to capitalize off of transphobia to win a losing argument.

@abughazalehkat I knew he was a joke, but I didn't know he was such a comedian.
