THE ANTI-GAY AGENDA

After Paris Hilton was ught cricizg the gay muny an d rerdg, she apologized, sayg, "Gay people are the strongt and most spirg people I know.

"Anyone who's followed my mic knows I'm agast bulli — that's why I hate that f---g bully Tmp — and I hate the ia that a kid who's gay might get s--- for .

Others are followg Florida’s lead – which passed a bill crics dubbed “Don’t Say Gay” – and are eyeg rtrictns on teachg LGBTQ topics schools. “I feel like the whole gay marriage bate was a sham, ” Terry Schillg, print of the right-wg Amerin Prcipl Project, said an terview wh CNN. “When we were batg gay marriage as a untry, the opponents of gay marriage were sentially sayg this is gog to lead to the sexualizatn of children.

THE VIEW STAR REVEALS WHY SHE AGRE WH SUPREME COURT LG FOR SIGNER WHO OPPOS GAY MARRIAGE

” Siarly, Florida is facg a lawsu over s law – lled the “Don’t Say Gay” bill by crics – that rtricts stctn related to certa LGBTQ topics. Activists who long cried gay rights, often assailg them as a threat to nservative fay valu and procreatn, said they’ve found new alli, particularly their efforts to lim medil re and athletic opportuni for transgenr youth.

GAY WATER, A NEW NNED CKTAIL, WANTS TO BE THE ANTI-BUD LIGHT

In the 1970s, Christian sger and anti-gay activist Ana Bryant lnched the “Save Our Children” mpaign to fight back agast a lol Da County, Florida, ordance that banned discrimatn based on sexual orientatn hog and employment. Maybe they should terrogate their own prient terts other people’s love, get at the root and figure out why the ia of male timacy ril the past few weeks, several rappers have ma sensive — or full-on homophobic — statements about gay people.

Fend DaBaby, sayg that gay people had gone om beg bullied to dog the bullyg, simply bee they had mand acuntabily om DaBaby, urgg him to apologize and phg mic ftivals to drop him om their lps.

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 don’t see a gay agenda this story but an anti-gay first, let me say this: Whenever I enunter a passnate homophobe, my md immediately foc on his passn. 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.
