It's just another form of child abuse.

Thousands of LGBTQ+ veterans were supposed to get pardons. A year later, only four have succeeded.

From our friends at @thewarhorsenews.bsky.social:

Thousands of LGBTQ+ veterans were supposed to get pardons. A year later, only four have succeeded.

President Joe Biden had pledged to use his clemency powers to right “a historic wrong.” Why did it fall so short of its promise?

Gavin Newsom: “I’m not transphobic, my godson is trans & I signed pro-trans bills.”

I listened to the relevant section of the video. I don’t think #Newsom is a #transphobe, but he needs some education on competitive sports. He needs to think about Caitlin Clark and Brittney Griner in the equation.
