War Of Words Between Disney, Ron DeSantis Heats Up At Annual Meeting.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Disney CEO Bob Iger on Monday said any retaliatory actions by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and the Republican-controlled Florida Legislature against the company that threaten jobs or expansion at its Florida resort is not only “anti-business ... but anti-Florida.”

Answering a question during an online shareholders’ meeting, Iger said that the Republican governor and lawmakers appeared to be retaliating against the company for exercising its constitutional rights when Disney last year criticized Florida’s nicknamed “Don’t Say Gay” legislation while Bob Chapek was helming the company at the time. The measure bars instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity in kindergarten through third grade, as well as lessons deemed not age-appropriate.

It's also UNAMERICAN!!!

Tennessee Native Claps Back Against Anti-Drag Laws With Iconic Performance. At the CMA!

Drag is an art form in celebration of bending gender norms. Get over it, christo-fascists! I'm so happy that so many younger people aren't stuck in their prescribed roles. Love you, Kelsea!!

Later in the night, the host gave a technicolor performance of “If You Go Down (I’m Going Down Too)” featuring four RuPaul’s Drag Race alumni. As the performance ended, the screen behind her lit up with a giant pride flag.

A Brief History Of Drag Queen Story Hour.

Right-wing attempts to demonize drag storytime (and all who love it) are deeply mischaracterizing the events.

As long as there have been books for children, there have been adults trying to get children to read books.

One good way to do that is to read to them. And one good way to hold their attention is to dress with pizazz.

The rise of drag queen storytime can be traced back to the San Francisco Bay Area — long a haven for queer folk — where a Market Street bookstore hosted what it billed as “America’s first drag queen storytime” a decade ago. It looked a lot like the drag story hours held around the country today, and completely unlike the fantastical, sexualized vision pushed by the political right: just a colorful queen in a sky-high hat reading to a bunch of kids.

See the snowflake given to him in Iowa? Look very closely and you'll see it!

In the words of Frank-N-Furter, my favorite transperson,

"It's not easy having a good time! Even smiling makes my face ache!"

Trolling the asshole big time!!

I just got my twitter account reinstated after slut shaming melania.

And then quickly deactivated it. Apparently, you can't deactivate your account unless it's active. Buhbye.

How do you feel about a name change to LGBTQIA Civil Rights and Activism?

I think it would be more inclusive.

Thank you and please vote. And kick for visibility, thanks!
