Section 28 didnβt come out of nowhere.
It came from a society where 75% thought homosexuality was wrong.
From a society that feared the sight of a man in drag would corrupt.
From a society that believed ignorance was better for children than any knowledge of gay lives.

1. Lots of talk about the Pride Flag embassy ban.
I want to give context, as I reported heavily on anti-LGBTQ+ riders in the budget fight.
1) Biden/Dems deserve the criticism they are getting on this rider.
2) Over 40+ horrific targeted anti-LGBTQ+ riders died, except this one.
Biden agrees to ban US embassies from flying the LGBTQ Pride flag as part of a spending deal to keep most government agencies open through Sept. 30 trib.al/Zrhw3tj

I know there's nothing new/interesting to say about The Kate Issue now, but it is still wiiiiiillllld to me that they made the Photoshop Fail HER fault instead of being like, "We are so sorry, our intern, Cuthbert Bottingsly-Smythe, was overzealous and has thusly been beheaded."

JK Rowling is doing it *again*.
She has pivoted to an alternate reality where the people providing evidence of the looting of the Institut fΓΌr Sexualwissenschaft are instead claiming that trans people suffered "more than anyone else" in Nazi Germany.
Provide one single example!

In a slight rage over the moral panic that that a certain aspect of the British public have frothed up around Black Out Nights, two nights out of over a hundred, that have seen audiences members of all race in attendance over the last four years since its inception on Broadway. β at Paddington, London

the Hays code was still in effect until Ralph Fiennes was six years old. he was twenty-seven years old when a gay kiss was shown for the first time on UK TV.
βWhen I was young we never had trigger warnings for showsβ
Actor Ralph Fiennes βthe impact of theatre should be that youβre shockedβ and that he thinks audiences have gone too soft

I've been thinking about the word 'queer' and why (particularly when writing about history) I value it.Β Why removing it from the lexicon without a meaningful substitute would be damaging and dangerous in terms of our very ability to talk about ourselves. 1/

This might be the first time in New York City history that (what I presume to be) the Friday/Jumu'ah prayer was made at Stonewall National Monument, widely regarded as the birthplace of the movement for LGBT rights.
