The Battle Continues

Not those battles but rather the battle with GAY Inc.

I call LGBTQ+ people who are more interested in "Me" than community. You, many of them were "Log Cabin Republicans."

“It’s terrible”: Pete Buttigieg denounces attempts to drop the T from LGBTQ+

There were "a lot of... advocates and activists who were transgender in the 60s or 70s... who stuck up for everybody's rights."

Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg called for cisgender gay, lesbian, and bisexual people to stand in solidarity with transgender people, who are facing numerous attacks from Republicans all over the country. “I think everybody else has to stick up for them,” he said.

In an interview with YouTuber Andrew Callaghan, published yesterday, Buttigieg discussed a range of topics, including AI, the New York mayoral race, and military service.

“How did you feel about the T getting removed from the Stonewall website?” Callaghan asked.

“It’s terrible,” Buttigieg responded. “I mean, look, you know, if you look into the history of what made it possible for people like me to have rights — like we do to get married — like, a lot of that was advocates and activists who were transgender in the ’60s or ’70s… who stuck up for everybody’s rights.”

Buttigieg then talked about how some cisgender gay and bi people want to somehow drop transgender people from the community.

“So I get the politics of it,” he said. “I get that it would be politically convenient, honestly, for people to pull up the ladder after them and leave out others, but that’s not OK. People have to stick together. And that’s not just across the LGBTQ community, it’s like, anywhere somebody is getting beat up or having, literally or figuratively, because of who they are, I think everybody else has to stick up for them.”

He then said that “most reasonable people” think that there are “serious fairness issues” with trans girls and women participating in girls’ and women’s sports.

“And that’s why I think these decisions should be in the hands of sports leagues and school boards and not politicians,” he explained, “least of all politicians in Washington trying to use this as a political pawn.”

I call those LGBTQ+ people who only care about their rights and not those of others "Gay Inc."

To see what he means you only have to look at New York state... back in the 2002 they passed the gender law in 2029! Sixteens years between them! The gay state organizations threw us under the proverbial bus saying we will come back for you as they drive off! We were included under the original bill but in a last minute back room deal they stripped us from the bill.

The HRC threw us under the bus in trying to pass the federal Employment Non-Discrimination Act. As a result almost the trans people left the HRC over it.
