Nearly 240 anti-LGBTQ bills filed in 2022 so far, most of them targeting trans people
The annual number of anti-LGBTQ bills to have been filed has skyrocketed over the past several years, from 41 in 2018 to 238 in less than three months of this year.

According to NBC News, there are about 240 legislative bills being proposed and passed around the country at the present time. In my own neighborhood of Pittsburgh, the School Board has unanimously passed a resolution opposing three or four of such bills that are currently being considered in the Pennsylvania legislature. All the work of Republicans, of course.
NBC News defines such laws as follows:
"The slate of legislation includes measures that would (1) restrict LGBTQ issues in school curriculums, (2) permit religious exemptions to discriminate against LGBTQ people and (3) limit trans people’s ability to play sports, (4) use bathrooms that correspond with their gender identity and (5) receive gender-affirming health care." (Numbering mine)
All of these - (1) through (5) - are entirely appropriate and, I would say, necessary. One needs to be reminded from time to time that there is nothing wrong with "discrimination," as long as it is wise.
(1). Since when is it appropriate to TEACH OUR CHILDREN IN SCHOOL about sexual irregularities? Seriously, can't they learn about perversion on their own, or from their parents, or by watching Shonda Rhimes television programs? What principle justifies this indoctrination? None that I'm aware of.
(2) Sorry to say, religious discrimination is - I would say - one of the rights alluded to in the Ninth Amendment. If I'm a faithful Roman Catholic, by what right does the STATE tell me that I have to host an inter-species marriage? It's my business, my church, my church organization. The State doesn't get a vote.
(3). Boys playing girls' sports? I don't think so. Has anyone noticed the Olympics Committee allowing men to compete in wimmins' sports? Didn't think so. They are not insane (yet). This is a non-starter.
(4) Use of bathrooms MUST be divided according to personal plumbing. If you have a dick, use the boys' room. Period. Anything else is folly.
(5). If there are insane, Leftist parents out there (sorry for the redundancy) that want their kids to be "affirmed," let them take care of it themselves. Making the schools facilitate this perverse nurturing of psychosis helps no one and nothing. Show me the studies that prove the efficacy of gender-affirming care over a period longer than six fucking weeks, why don't you?
And keep in mind, despite what the Gay Mafia tries to tell "us" none of these legislative bills is harmful to the society at large. This contingent wants to take society in a whole different direction, starting by indoctrinating impressionable children, regardless of what the vast majority of Americans want, and regardless of 200+ years of history.
Fuck 'em. Pass those laws and get them implemented, before it's too late.
