Texas AG is a garbage human being. I hope PFLAG tells him to get fucked.

They are, well legally speaking at least, and Lambda Legal and the ACLU are defending them.

Right now someone at pflag should be looking for those contact lists they unfortunately lost every copy of right before they were asked.

Recent events have led Paxton to believe that It Happening has broad bipartisan support.

There were certainly a number of officials who were allowed to see a lot more birthdays than they should have.

They also seem to be really concerned about all the women who are suffraging, and are doing their best to rescue them from such unspeakable and unladylike depravity - whether they like it or not.

I'm still chuckling over the way I learned about suffragettes. By playing red dead redemption 2. I earned brownie points on more than one occasion. Video games are not all bad, hear me out!

oh so theres not even an attempt to hide behind some "protect the children" bullshit this time? just a clear and direct "fuck you" to lgbtq people? what a state...

well it's looking like there's a definite non zero chance that he can't run, with what Illinois is saying and him being broke, so I'm hopeful

You know... Land of the free and such. So much freedom you'll get persecuted for who you are and whom you love. Can't have that.

Where have I seen that before? Was it that one Germanic country in Europe? I've forgotten the name, but it ended with "any" and had a dude with a strange mustache as a leader.

And no I don't think it's an exaggeration. The Nazis didn't start murdering, they sneaked up on the country, started making lists, started spreading lies and fear, started a "them versus us" litany. Sounds familiar? Yeah, for me as well.

Ken Paxton can sit on a cactus and have fire ants bite his needle dick.

He can get fucked by a Saguaro, and the fire ants can, uh… do their thing?

Well, we can import one. I know there at least were a few at the UoM horticultural greenhosues on our state fair grounds. I'm sure we could figure something out.

This needs federal intervention, this is spiraling into nazism in practice.

Is it normal, as a Texan evac, to be afraid of joining PFLAG in another state? I used to feel that was just one of my psychosis symptoms, unwillingness to join a formal rainbow group and actually socialize, but now I'm increasingly unsure

they're just cliques fam, find the good people already in your circle and hold them close. rubbing elbows and trying to fit in with various "queer" groups and orgs as a baby tran was awful for my mental health, you just become a stepping stone for some more privileged person's clout-building.

You know… it used to be the case that when using an acronym in an article, it was always explained after the first usage in the text. Journalistic editorial standards have really slipped.

Righto. Thanks for the info. I guess international readers aren’t figured into their editorial expectations. It is what it is.

Thanks again.

I assume you're talking about not defining PFLAG? Acronyms widely understood by the target audience aren't always defined. The LA Blade is an LGBTQ publication so PFLAG not being defined makes sense.

Can’t be bothered. I clicked on article. Poor editorial standards. Ok I’m out.
