The only people being put at risk by the evil rhetoric and hate these bigots spread is the trans community!
They are the ones in fear of being themselves, living as their authentic selves because of the fear mongering and hate spread by a transphobic agenda being promoted by celebrities and the press!

We have to put a stop to this continuous hatred and stand with the trans community!

Will you stand with me?? Please like and share if you agree that this has to stop!
A child has been murdered for being themselves because of the hate!

Spread love not hate!!

This is awesome! 🤣

On her radio show, Dr. Laura said that, as an observant Orthodox Jew, homos*xuality is an abomination according to Leviticus 18:22, and cannot be condoned under any circumstance. The following response is an open letter to Dr. Schlesinger, written by a US man, and posted on the Internet. It's funny, as well as quite informative:

Dear Dr. Laura:
Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homos*xual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination. End of debate. I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other elements of God's Laws and how to follow them.
1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?
2. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?
3. I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness - Lev.15: 19-24. The problem is, how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.
4. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord - Lev.1:9. The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?
5. I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself, or should I ask the police to do it?
6. A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination, Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than homos*xuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this? Are there 'degrees' of abomination?
7. Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle-room here?
8. Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev. 19:27. How should they die?
9. I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?
10. My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev.19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? Lev.24:10-16. Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair, like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)
I know you have studied these things extensively and thus enjoy considerable expertise in such matters, so I'm confident you can help.
Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging.
Your adoring fan,
James M. Kauffman,
Ed.D. Professor Emeritus,
Dept. Of Curriculum, Instruction, and Special Education University of Virginia
P.S. (It would be a damn shame if we couldn't own a Canadian.)

Dear Cis people: You have probably shared a space with a trans person today…and nothing happened. 🏳️‍⚧️🌟

That’s because trans people are just busy getting on with their day like everyone else, like they’ve been doing openly for decades.

To Celebrate LGBTQIA+ History Month in the UK, I’m sharing stories about trans people who lived in previous centuries 🏳️‍⚧️🌟🏳️‍⚧️
Marsha P. Johnson was born in small town New Jersey, a place with no tolerance for LGBTQIA people. Marsha graduated high school at 17 and left as soon as she could for New York City.

When choosing the name Marsha P. Johnson, her last name was inspired by a Howard Johnson restaurant. The letter P in her middle name stands for the phrase ‘Pay in no mind’ which is what she’d always say when people made negative comments about her feminine gender expression.
Marsha was part of the Stonewall riots, and dropped something heavy on a police vehicle that night. She seemed unafraid of being arrested because she’d been arrested just for wearing makeup, since she arrived to NYC, 10 years previously.
Marsha was a fearless trans activist and a major player in securing LGBTQ+ rights from the 1960s until she passed in 1992.
Accessibility: An illustration of a smiling black trans woman wearing a flower crown. She says Pay It No Mind. More text says Marsha P. Johnson, Trans Woman, 1945 to 1992

We are so pleased that so many of our LGBTQ+ community were able to enjoy celebrating Pride in Godalming,
a community event sponsored mainly by Surrey County Council.

Sadly ,as many of you know, we were prevented from joining the event but that aside we are still happy for all those who were able to enjoy it today.

Keep being proud, you are incredible Surrey! 🏳️‍🌈❤🏳️‍🌈

The second installment of the LGBTQ+ event made its way through Godalming, after the cancellation of the 2020 event

Just for information we wanted to let you that both Cathy and Maz are no longer part of Pride in Surrey following our resignations recently.

We are proud of the 3 years we spent as volunteers and part of an award winning team that brought Surrey its first ever Pride event and then Winter Pride.

We will continue to support the LGBTQ community in Surrey and beyond where we can.

Much love and Pride🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

Pride exists because of a woman.
Pride exists because of a black woman.
Pride exists because of a black trans woman.
Pride exists because of a black trans woman who was a s*x worker.
Pride exists because of a black, bis*xual trans woman who was a s*x worker that threw a brick at a cop.
Pride exists because of a black, bis*xual trans woman, who was a s*x worker, that threw a brick at a cop and started a riot against the state.

Don't lose this month in rainbow capitalism and unabashed racism because of the privilege of being white while q***r.

If you aren't supporting q***r people of color, trans women, and q***r s*x workers, you aren't celebrating pride, you are celebrating rainbow capitalism and police brutality.

Her name was Marsha P. Johnson.
