Because It's True
The Right Fabricates Enemies to Distract from the True Evil They Do
All kids have the right to be who they are!
I'm calling in all cisgender followers today. If you have been paying attention, you know the number of anti-trans bills moving through state legislatures right now is staggering. Our trans siblings are hurting. What are we doing about it?
Simply naming a problem doesn't fix it. Awareness is critical, but awareness without action is meaningless.
One first step might be to head to this link to see what bills are moving through YOUR state legislature. And then CONTACT your state senators and representatives. Find local organizations to donate to. Now is time.
And Furthermore…

To simplify: churches are forbidden to promote specific political parties or candidates, in order to maintain tax-exempt status. no religious institution is allowed to make explicit political statements, including "this party is bad," "this party is good," "you should vote for x," "you should not vote for x," or "let's raise money for x political party or campaign." all of those things are super illegal! if they're going to act as a political entity, they need to pay taxes like any other political entity! report their asses!!!

A map of bills restricting drag shows that are advancing around the country.
Dark green = bills progressing
Light green = lawmakers have expressed intention to file bills
Some bills age-restrict attendance at drag shows. Others redefine "adult businesses," which means most gay bars and even mainstream venues will not be able to get licenses they'll need to host drag shows.
Some of these bills are vaguely worded so that they can be used to arrest trans & gender non-conforming people just for existing in public.
When it comes to local drag show, brunches, Pride events… This map shows where drag performances could be criminalized.
Tennessee is set to be the first state to ban drag this Thursday 2/23. Kentucky also has Anti-LGBTQ legislation in the works. Harmful Anti-Trans leglislation is being pushed through these states, too.
