THE ANTI-GAY AGENDA
It is not the gay Black person who be an stment of a whe supremacist attack on Black masculy. It is the Black homophobe. * anti gay statements *
About a week after DaBaby’s rant, Boosie Badazz, a hip-hop artist who me up the 1990s, went after Lil Nas X, one of the rare rappers who are openly, unapologetilly, explosns-of-glter gay, threateng to asslt me say first that the untry has quickly evolved on the acceptance of gayns, and that clus an evolutn among Black people. I have always ntend that all of the -isms and -phobias are s, that a society that creat a hierarchy of humany wh whe, straight, cisgenr men at the apex, every person who is not whe or straight or cisgenr or male gets assigned a lower orr of that sense, racism and sexism, homophobia and transphobia all branch om the same one bias n fluence and amplify a society that treats racism as a sport, which each racial group is jockeyg agast the others, all of them shadowed by a culture of whe supremacy laced wh misogyny, anythg that rc your percentage of straight mal or “femiz” them is seen as weakeng the Black people bee agents agast Black power and Black liberatn, a weight on the this dulent this is adopted, traracial terror picks up where terracial terror left off.
Homophob often e the same tactic, claimg that they are protectg children om is precisely the fense Boosie Badazz ed when appearg on “The Breakfast Club” rad show, at one pot seemgly exprsg a fear that if rappers didn’t speak out agast certa exprsns of gayns, an entire generatn of children uld be aga, to clarify: There is no amount of exposure that n make a straight man prefer a penis or a gay one prefer a vaga.

The Republin ernor offered tac endorsement of what’s been dubbed the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, which would ban talk of genr inty and sexual orientatn the state’s primary schools. * anti gay statements *
Sexual attractn and sexualy jt don’t work that this simplistic notn of sexualy oms is that there are also gay children who have known they were different for as long as they have known anythg, and those children serve reprentatn and visibily; they need to know that there is nothg wrong, broken or evil about them, so that they, too, n feel normal and seen.
The “Don’t Say Gay” bill, which would require the implementatn of “procr to rerce the fundamental right of parents to make cisns regardg the upbrgg and ntrol of their children, ” ban teachers om enuragg nversatns about LGBTQ+ topics the classroom that are “not age-appropriate or velopmentally appropriate for stunts, ” and allow parents to take legal actn agast school districts if they thk their “fundamental right” as parents has been vlated.
