The pattern of "religious" men abusing children is real and documented. It's infuriating that LGBTQ+ people bear the brunt of moral panic rhetoric while the actual harm to children is coming from the very people doing the loudest screaming about "protecting" them. #NotADragQueen

Pastor who raged about kids seeing Pride flags arrested for child abuse - LGBTQ Nation

Silas H. Shelton has been accused of abusing his religious authority to groom a teenage girl.

June 14th no Kings this will be the 8th protest I have organized since Trump 2.0. This is a blood red county but we do have a local democratic party. Problem is not single leader of the county party has ever shown up to protest. They would rather have this 60 yr old disabled woman do it.

5/5 Opening your mind and having a civil conversation with someone who isn't exactly like you is the first step towards the cure for QDS. By doing so, we can bridge the gap between our communities and foster a deeper understanding and empathy for one another.

4/5 This is often found in people and communities that have become too insulated, only associating with others who look like they do, think like they do, and act like they do. They blame us for what they feel is wrong with their lives instead of taking responsibility for who and where they are.

3/5 Queer community of things like grooming children, infiltrating schools, etc. This Syndrome goes back to before the time of the Stonewall uprising. And with only 10% of the population, it seems that we're accused of more of society's ills than we could conceivably accomplish.

2/5 But I submit that there's a Syndrome much older and stronger in parts of the US that's scapegoating people without any proof of harm to the people afflicted by it. I am talking about Queer Derangement Syndrome.

Queer Derangement Syndrome often rears its head when straight people accuse the

The Rise of QDS

I'm sure most of us have heard of TDS or Trump Derangement Syndrome. It's the term often used by many on the right-wing when we try to point out the things Trump is doing to the United States.

Sen. Jim Banks on the job held by a fired federal worker he mocked: "It was a woke job."

Then in the next breath Banks admits he doesn't know what his job actually was.

PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.

Sorry for our absence. Between the attacks on the lgbtq and trans communities, the devastating cuts to our sponsorships and trying to figure out how to keep our youth group going with no financial support it's been a rough few weeks.
It will take me a few days to follow back.

A big ty to everyone who came out to protest with us yesterday. It's hard doing what is right when we are overwhelmingly outnumbered in this small red town. We love you all! It's an honor to be standing with and for family and community. #lgbtq+ #strongertogether #neverobey #bluecrew #theresistance
