A common refrain among people who want to vote for fascists is an expectation that they should also receive permission/absolution for doing so.

If you’re a reporter who has a chance to question Trump, ask him exactly which public schools are providing these secret same-day on-site sexual reassignment surgeries he keeps insisting are actually happening.
His closing argument is just anti-trans panic and this bullshit is a central pillar.

Absolutely heartbroken to learn of Dikembe Mutombo's untimely passing. A story: one day in 2010, I got the most random phone call to my office at Morehouse. It was Dikembe's personal assistant, asking if I'd be willing to meet at his office to talk about the D.R. Congo. Obviously I said yes. (1/n)

The modern Right will absolutely destroy the lives of thousands of harmless children for a drop of political power. They know that hate and fear are powerful and gleefully cultivate them.
stories like this give the lie to the idea that the right is interested in protecting these children. per their own narrative, this girl is a victim of “gender ideology” or whatever. but the reaction from the right is always hostility, ostracization and violence.

The state of Florida prevented cities from lighting up their bridges in rainbow colors for Pride month. So people did it themselves anyway.
Florida won't light bridges in rainbow colors. So Jacksonville's LGBTQ community did.
After the state said its bridges will be lit red, white and blue all summer, LGBTQ supporters used rainbow-colored flashlights on Main Street bridge.
