LGBTQ+ rights are under attack across the world.

This a Community dedicated to the discussion of how to protect, advocate for, and restore LGBTQ rights!

With the rampant increase of Anti LGBTQ+ hate crimes, speech and laws internationally, the LGBTQ community globally no longer feels safe.

We refuse to stand by while injustice against our community reigns.

Here we will organize, and discuss ways to make our voices heard!

No Hate Speech allowed whatsoever. This is a O tolerance policy. This goes for any form of hate and/or bigotry regarding race, religion, or LGBTQ+ identities.

While we will have discussions on political issues dealing with hate and bigotry AGAINST the LGBTQ+ community, please keep your comments respectful of ail parties.

Be better than how your enemies treat you.


  1. Respect the trans community

Respect the people who belong here. If you're confused what that means, here's a minor primer:

No asking to date trans people or otherwise meet up with them. No treating being transgender as a mental illness or as being lesser in any way. No arguing with trans people about their identity. No arguing with trans people about their vulnerabilities, including anything related to sports, laws, etc. This includes anything else that the mod team deems disrespectful.


  1. Stay on topic!

Posts should be related to the defense, advocacy, and restoration of LGBTQ+ rights.

This Community is for news regarding, as well as the discussion of, anti LGBTQ+ laws, hate crimes, and propaganda.


  1. Bunnies are above the law

This isn't a rule but it shows you're paying attention to the rules. good for you!

Er, so this woman is... spending a lot of time thinking about trans kids undressing? is that the takeaway?

That's weird. She's weird.

In February 2024, she reportedly went undercover as nonbinary to “expose” best practices at a gender-affirming care clinic associated with UC Davis.

Very weird.

Religious nutjobs and conservatives of all stripes seem to have an unhealthy obsession with the contents of other people's pants.

And what they do with them. I’ve heard more about anal sex from homophobes than I’ve ever heard from gay men.

Ah yes, of course, because famously trans kids are always stripping off in public to make sure everyone witnesses their dysphoric shame?!

"Trans people made me strip naked" was NOT something I would've expected

Always living rent-free in the minds of idiots

According to an April 2024 Sacramento Bee profile of the former UC Davis staffer, Bourne became one of California’s most vocal anti-trans activists in the years since her eldest child came out first as trans and later as nonbinary.

What a shit parent. How can you hate your kid this much?

My kid could come out as trans-martian and I would rock a proud parent shirt saying that.

[–] oftheair@lemmy.blahaj.zone 27 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Sadly, in our experience, a lot of parents don't want children to be themselves, they want them to be mini them.

[–] dylanmorgan@slrpnk.net 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I’m sorry if that was your experience. Kids deserve unconditional love from their parents, not judgy bullshit about their identity.

[–] oftheair@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Woah, thank you so much, genuinely!

[–] Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The world is a better place due to you not worse. The Kirks of the land and this parent are the ones destroying this place.

[–] oftheair@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 week ago

Oh, uh, thanks.

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

That's a tale as old as time it seems

[–] oftheair@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 week ago

Yep, becuse it's sadly still accurate.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 48 points 1 week ago

Thankfully her trans child is in a university in another state where they don't have to deal with her in their face all the time anymore.

This feels almost like Munschausen-by-proxy where she's seeking attention for HERSELF by claiming there's something wrong with trans people and by extension her kid.

Ugh, I guess it's a reminder to other trans/queer/nonbinary etc kids in hateful families, do whatever you need to do in order to survive until you can escape.

In October 2023, local news station ABC 10 reported that the Davis Joint Unified School District filed for a temporary restraining order against Bourne following a spate of bomb threats to local schools, libraries, and even the homes of educators.

Ahah, now I see why I remembered this nitwit!

[–] jacksilver@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Why did that not land her in jail?

[–] incompetent@programming.dev 9 points 1 week ago

Because the cops are on her side and they're usually corrupt. Things aren't as they should be in a lot of places.

[–] curbstickle@anarchist.nexus 4 points 1 week ago

I wish I had that answer.

[–] happy_wheels@lemmy.blahaj.zone 30 points 1 week ago

Trans kids are super cool people! This "activist" is super creepy!! Call for recess was warranted. Hope they got tossed out of that meeting and then some.

[–] PeacefulForest@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

Ah yes, another freak wanting conformity and control of the human race.
