YOU'RE NOT A BAD PARENT IF YOUR CHILD IS GAY OR TRANSGENDER. YOU'RE A BAD PARENT IF YOU DON'T SHOW YOUR GAY OR TRANS CHILD UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. - THE GAILY GRIND
Y'all are so afraid your little Billy will read a book about a penguin with two dads and he'll magically turn gay. If that were the case, why didn't you magically turn into a Christian after reading about Jesus?
Lilah writes: Jesus: I am the son of God and also l am God and we are the same thing but different people and also there is a ghost who is me and is God but different too. Christians: yes, good Me: I was assigned male at birth but I'm actually a woman Christians: impossible
Text reads: If watching straight couples on television didn't make me straight, then watching gay couples won't magically make your kids gay.
I choose love. I choose Inclusion. I choose Empathy. Compassion. Equality. Dignity. Diversity. I choose Community. Kindness. Integrity. Honesty. Respect. I choose Justice. I choose Facts. Peace. The Planet. I choose Humanity. I choose Love.
CYNTHIA ERIVO: "YOUR QUEERNESS IS BEAUTIFUL... ELPHABA IS JUST LIKE YOU, AND SHE UNDERSTANDS WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO BE ALONE, AND TO FEEL DIFFERENT, BUT THAT DOESN'T MAKE YOU ANY LESS SPECIAL THAN YOU WERE BORN ΤΟ ΒΕ."
Text reads "It's not about rest rooms any more than it was about water fountains" Picture of segregated colored and white water fountains
Of all the concerts, football games, and basketball games I've been to, I've witnessed hundreds of women using the men's restroom. And you know what happened? They pee'd (I'm guessing), then left. How crazy is that?

Text reads: IF YOU HAVE TO MAKE LAWS TO HURT A GROUP OF PEOPLE JUST TO PROVE YOUR MORALS AND FAITH, THEN YOU HAVE NO TRUE MORALS OR FAITH.
People don't come out - they let you in. - Harvey Guillén
Headline reads: Singer Khalid comes out as gay after being publicly outed Khalid wrote: “I got outted and the world still continues to turn. Let’s get this straight (lmao) I am not ashamed of my sexuality! In reality it ain’t nobodies business! But I am okay with me." Khalid added: “I wasn’t hiding anything! It’s just not any of your business.”
Text reads: The world has bigger issues than your discomfort with boys who kiss boys and girls who kiss girls.
Dana Goldberg writes: I have shared the same bathroom with Sarah McBride on several occasions, and she never once made me uncomfortable. She did however help me fix my makeup. That congresswoman knows how to blend her foundation, which is more than I can say about Donald Trump. There is a comparison image of Sarah McBride and Donald Trump.
Text reads: "Literally no gay person has ever approached me and forced me to be gay. However, some people from the church did approach me and attempted to guilt me into joining their religion saying that I am going to hell for my "lifestyle choices." So who's really forcing their lifestyle on you?"
Statement by President Joe Biden on Transgender Day of Remembrance Home Briefing Room Statements and Releases Today, on Transgender Day of Remembrance, we mourn the transgender Americans whose lives were taken this year in horrific acts of violence. There should be no place for hate in America – and yet too many transgender Americans, including young people, are cruelly targeted and face harassment simply for being themselves. It’s wrong. My Administration has taken significant action to strengthen the rights and protect the safety of all Americans, including working across the federal government to combat violence against transgender Americans. Every American deserves to be treated with dignity and respect, and to live free from discrimination. Today, we recommit ourselves to building a country where everyone is afforded that promise.
Donnie writes: "I called my mom out on her Homophobia last night. We got into a huge argument now she thinks I'm gay. Literally every-time I've called somebody out on their homophobia, they ask me am I gay. You don't have to be apart of the community to call out bigotry. That's y'all problem now"
The text reads: "Speaker Johnson's holier-than-thou decree to ban transgender people from using bathrooms that align with their identity is a cruel and unnecessary rule that puts countless staff, interns, and visitors to the United States Capitol at risk," said Rep. Mark Pocan (WI-02), Chair of the Congressional Equality Caucus. "How will this even be enforced? Will the Sergeant at Arms post officers in bathrooms? Will everyone who works at the Capitol have to carry around their birth certificate or undergo a genetic test? This policy isn't going to protect anyone-but it is going to open the door to rampant abuse, harassment, and discrimination in the Capitol. Republicans can't even pass a Farm Bill or pass major appropriations bills, so they turn to using these cruel attacks to distract from their inability to govern and failure to deliver for the American people."
Text reads: Every transphobic argument can basically be boiled down to: "I actually don't know the science at all nor do I have a good argument here, but trans people challenge my long held view of the world and it's very uncomfortable and everyone should be expected to move around my discomfort." By Charlotte clymer
Text reads "Transgender day of remembrance November 20." The meme includes a candle with the colors of the trans flag. The candle is lit.
@armanddoma writes: Look, I genuinely don't care who is in the bathroom with me, but the law you're proposing says the person on the left should use the women's bathroom and the person on the right should use the men's bathroom. (The image depicts a trans man on the left and a trans woman on the right)
On screen text reads: YOU'RE NOT A BAD PARENT IF YOUR CHILD IS GAY OR TRANSGENDER. YOU'RE A BAD PARENT IF YOU DON'T SHOW YOUR GAY OR TRANS CHILD UNCONDITIONAL LOVE.
Text reads: "This is a hate free zone. Homophobic, transphobic trolls will be blocked. Repost if LGBTQ+ is welcome & safe on your account."
Text reads: "Having a gay child doesn't mean you've failed as a parent.Turning your back on them does." There is an image of a rainbow flag below the text.
"Gay and trans people don't spontaneously become queer when they turn 18 y/o. Every queer adult was once a queer child a lot of us simply weren't given the language, tools, and/or permission to exist as ourselves. Kids can be gay, bi, or trans."
Text reads: TRANS KIDS ARE LOVED surrounded by flowers. post by @Transpainter
