Michigan Advance. Through multiple iterations, the messages claim the “Gender Reassignment Surgery” for the recipient’s child has been scheduled. For those with issues to the “operation” the site directs them to links to oppose “Biden’s National Transgender Strategy” and otherwise donate to Barrett’s campaign.Readers are directed to a fundraising site for Barrett that claims “President Biden is forcing 5-year-olds to learn about gender reassignment surgeries, gender identities, and other radical ideas.” The site continues by claiming “our children are doomed” unless “every American” steps up to stop what it calls “this sick and twisted ideology from poisoning our children.” On the Tom Barrett For Congress website, Barrett proudly claims to have been “one of Michigan’s leading conservative voices” with the “most conservative voting record of any member of the Senate in 2021.”The texts are aimed at inspiring transphobic rage and vitriol, spurring concerned parents into action.

Baraghani wants you to learn something about cooking — and in the process, the world.To do that, he’s bringing his whole self to the table: the bullied first-generation American gay kid who liked to put everything in his mouth, the experienced chef, the editor known to spend weeks developing recipes in test kitchens, and the inquisitive world traveler.“I really wanted to represent all the different lessons I’ve learned throughout my life as a cook or chef so far. Lessons I’ve gathered from being a child of Iranian immigrants and those flavors and those dishes to my time working in restaurants in California, in New York, on the line, to my solo travels, to working in test kitchens.”Baraghani’s love affair with food began at home.

IN THE PRESS – Friday, 22.04.2022: We look at reaction to how Republican lawmakers in Florida may have just made an expensive mistake by revoking Disney's special status, as retribution for the company's opposition to the state's "Don’t say gay" bill. The papers are also discussing the situation in the besieged Ukrainian city of Mariupol and what the coming weeks could mean for the war.

Heartstopper follows Charlie and Nick, two young LGBTQ+ schoolboys falling in love, conquering their shame, fear and bullies to bravely live as their authentic selves. Charlie is an out gay teen after unwillingly being forced out of the closet, while Nick is a popular jock on the rugby team, surrounded by toxic masculinity, and the very real and relatable pressure of battling with his sexuality while ‘fitting in’. Charlie and Nick are surrounded by various wonders from the LGBTQ+ community: two lesbians, Tara and Darcy pave the way for Nick to confront his own complicated feelings by snogging at a school dance and going Instagram official; Elle is a trans female who moves from the all boys school to its neighbouring all girls comprehensive and is alive with hope, romance and lust for cis straight male Tao – a storyline unrecognisable in British television thus far. Over the course of eight episodes, Charlie builds his confidence after being tortured in a secret relationship with the school bully, and with the help of Nick he finds himself.

predicted that Republicans would make mince meat (an expression my grandfather always used) of the LGBTQ+ community in order to create a cultural divide to win the midterms. And they've done that: they've not only gone after our community, but have weaponized children, in their demented attempt to scare suburban moms, casting gay teachers, lesbian mothers, trans athletes, and children as boogeymen.It’s like watching a runaway train — and one that seems sent to us from Anita Bryant.

There was little to no thought given about who might be sitting next to them, near them, or around them. These strangers could have underlying conditions, elderly parents, or susceptible children at home.But that doesn’t matter to those who think masks are a dictate from an authoritarian government.

I was at New York Theatre Workshop 25 years ago with my first production: Eugene O’Neill’s “More Stately Mansions” (1964). Since then, people have called me “the man you love to hate or hate to love” — a badge of honor, as far as I’m concerned. Later, I moved on to Broadway, but I kept returning to NYTW.

The popular, right-wing “Libs of TikTok” account has been feverishly deleting thousands of tweets since its owner’s identity was exposed earlier this week.Former real estate agent Chaya Raichik told the New York Post she “will never be silenced” after The Washington Post connected her to the account, but the 2,795 deleted tweets over the last few days paint a slightly different picture.The account, which currently has over 884k followers, is widely cited among conservatives in the escalating right-wing culture war on LGBTQ Americans. Raichik has previously appeared anonymously for interviews on Fox News, and Christina Pushaw, Florida Gov.

Car collisions often result in dented fenders, an exchange of insurance information, or worse. Sometimes, though, the outcome is a little more hopeful.
