What does Tucker Carlson say about LGBT people?
If you know someone who doesn’t know, show them this. Fox News talk show host Tucker Carlson opposes LGBT rights. Where is the inventory of his offensive remarks that demonstrates this? I have created it.
‘Jurisdiction’ isn’t ‘child custody’
Though if it were, I’d say we should go look for the trans kids in custody. Republicans are mad about this. Perhaps they should take up their complaint with the trans kids they believe Tim Walz has shipped to the moon.
The Texas Republican Party believes in UFOs but not in trans people
What are you willing to believe ?In making trans people more visible, the Republicans intend to label us as ‘fake’ and force us into the closet. This is a Republican cover-up.

I can’t write the anti-gay argument for him
No one wants to be called a ‘bigot’ or a ‘fascist’. But it’s not my job to give him alternate explanations for his reasons or feelings. If I say something is bigoted, I may not be judging someone’s character, at least not primarily; instead I may be asserting why I’m not jumping on board.
