A friendly reminder that policy like the “Don’t Say Gay” bill in Florida and the anti-trans directive in Texas won’t stop kids from being queer–it will just force them into hiding.

In situations like the abhorrent Texas anti-trans crusade, liberals like to say the cruelty is the point. But in reality, winning elections and protecting elite interests is the point — and transgender kids and their families are caught in the crosshairs. https://t.co/eIKgrptEl8

Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill is a sweeping gag law that seeks to erase LGBTQ families from the classroom.

But its proponents keep lying about what it actually says. So I invite you on a journey into the text, with a brief grammar lesson along the way. https://t.co/DVaLh0CFKl

The countries with the highest child poverty rate (GDP as % of global GDP):

🇹🇷 25.3% (1.24%)
🇮🇱 23.7% (0.6%)
🇪🇸 22.0% (2.3%)
🇨🇱 21.5% (0.5%)
🇺🇸 21.2% (24%)

It’s sad and cruel for any child to live in poverty — especially in a country with as much wealth as the United States.

It takes courage to be visible, especially as our country grapples with a crisis of belonging that disproportionately affects the LGBTQ+ community. I want everyone celebrating #BiVisibilityDay to know that we see you, we are with you, and you belong.

You can still be fired, denied a home, barred from adopting a child in America because of who you love. On #BiVisibilityDay, we must not only fight to pass The Equality Act, but to ensure equal treatment for every single person in our country.

Here's some facts:

-Bisexuals aren't promiscuous
-Bisexuals don't have to pick a side
-Dating a guy doesn't make you less bisexual
-Bisexuals aren't experimenting
-Bisexuals aren't cheaters
-Not all bisexuals do threesomes

I really don’t think it can be overstated how scary this is for trans people. Again, this isn’t just for transition-related procedures, but for the ability to refuse treating trans people for *anything* (broken leg, strep throat, cancer, heart attack) https://t.co/pzQAvM2xKA
