US homophobia intensifies

Seen a few LGBTQ+ speakers and entertainers noting that bookings for events in Pride month from corporate events seems to have suddenly vanished this year. They all admit it they did feel ambivalent about this stuff and doubting of the sincerity, but at least it was visibility, but sounds like corporate America is definitely showing it never gave a shit all along and will cave to political pressure not to 'do' DE&I, quelle surprise. Wonder if similar is happening in UK?

I know that the Disability & Neurodiversity Network is still popping off at my workplace. I've been a part of their Slack channel for a while now.

While I do think that there are some issues with corporate diversity, I still believe that such things are important. Your post has motivated me to join the Slack channels for similar Networks, specifically LGBTplus, Ethnicity, and the Womens Network. Given what you've said I feel I should at least be keeping an eye out.
 
Oh yeah, they have a role, even if they mostly don't do it well. I get the impression that in America there has been a much bigger and more mainstream pushback overall against 'DEI' (as they call it), as it is the latest thing to get Overton-windowed into 'woke madness'.
 
Two drag queens in New Hampshire sued a Republican state lawmaker for defamation after he made false statements about them - he was ordered to pay them $100,000 and issue a public apology

“After being provided with inaccurate information, information that I failed to verify, I publicly accused Robert Champion aka Monique Toosoon of being a registered sex offender and Michael McMahon aka Clara Divine of ‘rubbing butts’ with children,” Love said in his retraction. “... I have since learned that those assertions were completely false. I wish to publicly retract those statements and apologize to Robert and Michael.”

 
Another one who claimed he was "protecting the children"

“We as legislators have an obligation to ensure that our children have no harm done to them,” May said in January 2024 on the House floor during a debate on transgender care for minors...

...The three-term Republican is accused of using “joebidennnn69” to exchange 220 different files of toddlers and young children involved in sex acts on the Kik social media network for about five days in spring 2024, according to court documents that graphically detailed the videos.

During my drive out towards Sandwich today I saw at least one builder's company displaying a pride flag, and some of the big shops though can't remember which ones now.

I still really want to get choral singers together online to stitch a 4-part harmony tiktok of the words 'NOT A DRAG QUEEN' to the tune of the 'Hallelujah' chorus so people can use it to reply every time yet another of these fuckers turns out to be a nonce.
 
Can this woman just fuck off already? How much of a soulless husk do you have to be to be this opposed to people making a loving commitment to one another? Honestly, she just looks like a person who is a black hole of spite and misery and is on an active mission to make other people despair in the hopes it will fill the gaping void within her.

I find it strange that they elect their county clerks, it makes this sort of conflict far more intractable.
