Gay rights legend & pioneer Fred Sargeant (74), one of the co-founders of the Gay Pride march in NYC and participant in Stonewall in 1969, was violently assaulted by trans rights activists at Burlington Pride this weekend. @LGBAlliance_USA condemns this unconscionable act. [1/7]

He says "I went to Pride to protest their misogyny, homophobia, exclusionary policies and divisiveness. I was met by screaming, multiple assaults, ageist comments, shoving, slaps to the back of my head, pouring coffee on me and repeated attempts to steal my signs." [2/7]

Same-sex rights have been under assault for some time now by a new homophobia that has stolen the rainbow flag and wrapped itself in it. In the words of Stormé at Stonewall, "Why are you just standing there? Why won't you do something?" To Mr. Sargeant: Solidarity. [7/7]

It is bewildering that in 2022 expressing our same-sex orientation results in being smeared with labels like "bigot" or "transphobe." How did "pan" end up as the only "approved" sexuality? How did this homophobic, biphobic (and frankly heterophobic) doctrine take hold?

We are LGB: lesbians, gay men and bisexuals. Please don’t call us queer. Thanks. #GayNotQueer

“Lesbians don’t have penises,” said Ms Jackson [of @ALLIANCELGB ]. “A lesbian is a biological woman who is attracted to another biological woman. That’s obvious. Or at least it was obvious until a few years ago.” (Non-paywalled copy in next tweet) 1/2

Let's stop the rush towards sterilizing a generation of LGB youth. #LetKidsBeGNC "7 in 10 children initially diagnosed with gender dysphoria eventually outgrew it—many go on to be lesbian or gay adults [...] most kids would come to accept their bodies."

Some wonderful news to report! California Governor Gavin Newsom has vetoed AB-957. This is the bill that would have forced child custody courts to consider parents' affirmation of their children's gender identity in custody battles. (1/)

#BidenErasedWomen & it negatively impacts lesbians & our female-only spaces. One lesbian was told "that the term lesbian is outdated & problematic & I shouldn’t use it.” So the lesbian keeps quiet about her identity: “It’s like living in a second closet.”

"The youngest was 10. The most common blocker used is triptolerin, which is licensed to treat advanced prostate cancer in men, chemically castrate male sex offenders & halt very early puberty. It is not licensed for gender dysphoria." #IStandWithKeiraBell

@CritFacts @frentelgb @llh2019 @lgsmreza @redlgb_ @AlianzaLGB @LGBAlliance_CA @ALLIANCELGB We're not trash-talking anyone. We know that overall LGBT acceptance is actually declining in the US & we've heard from thousands of LGB people that they're tired of being called 'transphobic' for their same-sex attraction. And women who want their sex-based spaces protected.

@NeasaLee @CritFacts @frentelgb @llh2019 @lgsmreza @redlgb_ @AlianzaLGB @LGBAlliance_CA @ALLIANCELGB Trans people asking for inclusion isn't homophobic, you're right. However, trans people shaming & ostracizing LGB people for their same-sex attraction is, and one time IS too many if you stand w/ LGB. Here come the receipts. This will take days, mind you.

Since @RepCicilline / @DavidCicilline introduced it, people ask us "Why is a group dedicated to LGB rights concerned about the Equality Act? What's not to like about a law that protects people from being discriminated against on the basis of sexual orientation?" A thread! /1

(1/7) ​What is homSEXuality if not same-SEX attraction? What is the definition of "gender" as distinct from sex? How is it anything other than a set of socially contrived sexist stereotypes? Gender-nonconformity has always been an integral and celebrated part of the LGB

@glaad @nytopinion It seems like you are more invested in protecting wealthy medical associations from defamation than actual gays and lesbians.

Again, this is just a small sample of the threats and abuse that women, lesbians and gays receive for standing up for sex-based rights, women's rights, homosexuality and biological reality. #BidenErasedWomen #TERF

@NeasaLee @CritFacts @frentelgb @llh2019 @lgsmreza @redlgb_ @AlianzaLGB @LGBAlliance_CA @ALLIANCELGB No. This is the rising homophobia coming from WITHIN the LGBT. Or do you support 13 year old lesbians being kicked out of their LGBT groups for not liking d*ck? Because we do not.

@MsSweetTD @CritFacts We're well beyond 'internal squabbling' when lesbians are shamed, abused & kicked out of LGBT groups for their same-sex attraction. This has been happening for years. And instead of LGBT putting an end to it, they promote the garbage that we should be same-'gender' attracted. NO.

We are told that the homophobia we see coming from the trans rights movement is just a small minority in online spaces only. Yet here is an article from a well known publication where the author says "Cis queer people have a problem with genitals."

Annual income for ACLU is $300 million. Annual income for women in prison...significantly less than 300 million... Why does the ACLU discriminate against women in prison?
