Elon Musk rode into Twitter headquarters like a conquering free speech warrior. But all he did was choose different targets for censorship: |

"Matthew Schutter ran for the Pennsylvania State Legislature with the caucus’s endorsement. He was later arrested and charged with possessing child pornography and now faces 40 sex crime charges." -

The Canada my parents moved us to 50 years ago was a bastion of liberal freedom. Now it’s beginning to remind me of the country we fled: |

"Joe Biden is himself also a practicing Catholic. Whatever objections one might have to Biden’s politics, the notion that he wants to remove, replace, or otherwise denigrate Easter is simply absurd." -

"With the passage of the RFMA, for the first time in the history of the United States, both same-sex and interracial newlyweds will be recognized under federal law." -

The manufactured controversy over President Joe Biden recognizing Trans Visibility on Easter reveals the spiritual rot at the core of the culture wars: |
@Kristolfan93
"Banning cops doesn’t merely alienate law enforcement, it also turns off the 83% of the public who do not share the far-left’s hatred of the police, and the 77% of black people who do not want to see them defunded." -
@AmericnDreaming
"Some political scientists bitterly proclaimed that racism motivated most Trump voters, a narrative eagerly picked up by news media. Unfortunately, these studies typically didn’t define 'racism' the way normal people do." -
@CJFerguson1111
"Elon Musk neither improved Twitter (I’m not calling it 'X') nor transformed it into a domain of unfettered free speech absolutism." -
@AmericnDreaming
"Under Musk’s heavy-handed stewardship, Twitter has become the worst of both digital worlds, teeming not only with extremism, disinformation, and anti-LGBT bigotry, but with Elon-approved censorship, too." -

"There are two reproductive roles: male and female. It's boring, clinical, and, compared to most of biology, is easy to categorize, which is why psychologists, sex researchers, and LGBT activists have used sex-based definitions for ages." -

"In
@Gallup
and
@PRRIpoll
, the percentage of people who identify as LGBT is smallest among the Silent Generation, and increases with every subsequent age cohort. Doesn’t this demonstrate some kind of trend among young people?" -

"Now, at last, the lives of hundreds of thousands of married couples are finally en route to embetterment. Not thanks to perfectionism, mind you, but progressivism in the truest sense of the word." -

"In 2018, when an elderly woman asked Trudeau if the federal government would pay back the $146 million it cost her province to absorb an influx of illegal border-crossers, he told her, 'Your racism has no place in Canada.'" -

"We are all having less sex — and for an increasing number of us, nearly none at all. We are not only marrying less but partnering less. Forget sex lives; we increasingly don’t even have social lives." -

"When
@LilNasX
asked his fans, 'Would y’all be mad at me if I thought I was a little bisexual?', some people weren’t quite sure what he meant. His follow-up tweet, 'That was my last time coming out I promise,' cleared up any confusion." -

"We regard FGM, rightly, as a cruel, misogynistic, and barbaric custom. But our own cultural baggage doesn’t allow us to similarly evaluate male circumcision on its merits." -

"Should people who are attracted to both females and males call themselves “bisexual” or “pansexual?” This question seems like a raging debate within chronically online LGBT circles from the way some people scream about it." -

"It wasn’t until I got involved in the real-life community of

Read here:
"As long as no regressive legal roadblocks are placed in the way of LGBT people, we could very well reach a place where attitudes surrounding sexuality regard it as no more central than culinary preferences." -

"Sometimes, hardships will be the result of your actions, but most of the time it will just be life happening around you. Take refuge in each other." -

"Bisexuality encompasses any combination of same-sex and opposite-sex attractions. Anyone who holds both types of attractions — to any degree — is, by definition, bisexual." -
@AmericnDreaming
"This isn’t the 'queering' of everything. It isn’t a plot to turn everyone gay, or trans. Despite the activist and media emphasis on trans issues, trans people remain 0.7% of the population. And it’s not all social posturing, either." -

At QM, we believe that sexual and romantic freedoms are for everyone. This is why we produce content aimed at breaking down divisions, finding common ground, and bringing people together.
In that spirit, our title "Queer Majority" can be understood multiple ways. 🧵
"I have spent the last two years writing a book about abortion, and after doing the journalistic duty of reading stacks of anti-choice literature, I realized just how ignorant I was to have been surprised when Roe was overturned." -

Seema became a doctor because she wanted to serve society, but even the best medical care is useless if it’s out of reach. She decided the only thing to do was take her help directly to the communities who needed it most.

"Gender is a social construct. There’s no limit to how many genders there could be. Sex, by contrast, is simple biology. There are only two sexes, and all humans fit into one or the other category. (And no, intersex is not a third sex.)" -
