Florida and Kentucky are losing educators to extreme anti-LGBTQ+ laws
Florida and Kentucky are losing educators to extreme anti-LGBTQ+ laws
Strict policies and education laws enacted this year have caused teachers to leave their profession behind ā or in some cases, their state.Orion Rummler (The 19th)
If you are opposed to same sex marriage, then you can simply say no when someone of the same sex proposes to you.
Leave the rest of us alone. See how that works? Thatās actual #freedom.

FIVE SEX PANICS
In the 19th century there was a panic about masturbation and its effect on the nation on both sides of the Atlantic.
At the beginning of the 20th century there was a panic about women's liberation, in sex and politics, destroying society.
By the mid 20th century there was a panic about sexual liberation and free love.
Later, in the 70s and 80s, there was a gay panic and gays were presented as predators and deviants.
Now, in the early 21st century, there is a trans panic and its trans and non-binary people who are seen as the social threat.
These are five separate panics across over 150 years, But, actually, they're not separate at all: they are the same panic generated by the same people that comes again and again and again in waves. Its a panic generated by the sexually puritan and socially authoritarian whose politics is that of coercion and control.
This tendency is the ultimate enemy of all lovers of social and personal freedom.
Florida school district orders librarians to purge all books with LGBTQ characters
https://popular.info/p/florida-school-district-orders-librarians
![Charlotte County school librarians sought guidance from the school district about how to apply an expansion of the Florida Parental Rights in Education Act, better known as the "Don't Say Gay" law, to all grades. "Are we removing books from any school or media center, Prek-12 if a character has, for example, two mothers or because there is a gay best friend or a main character is gay?" the librarians asked, according to the document. Vianello and McKinely told the librarians, "Yes."
The guidance made clear that all books with LGBTQ characters are to be removed even if the book contained no sexually explicit content. The librarians asked if they could retain books in school and classroom libraries with LGBTQ characters "as long as they do not have explicit sex scenes or sexual descriptions and are not approaching 'how to' manuals for how to be an LGBTQ+ person." The guidance provided by Vianello and McKinely was: "No. Books with LBGTQ+ characters are not to be included in classroom libraries or school library media centers."
Vianello and McKinley also advised teachers must ensure that books with LGBTQ characters and themes do not enter the classroom, even if they are self-selected by students for silent reading. According to Vianello and McKinley, books with "[t]hese characters and themes cannot exist."](https://cdn.fosstodon.org/media_attachments/files/111/137/712/071/942/818/original/bf1ebf0d5f3baac2.png "Charlotte County school librarians sought guidance from the school district about how to apply an expansion of the Florida Parental Rights in Education Act, better known as the \"Don't Say Gay\" law, to all grades. \"Are we removing books from any school or media center, Prek-12 if a character has, for example, two mothers or because there is a gay best friend or a main character is gay?\" the librarians asked, according to the document.

Y para cuando eso pasa, el niƱo ya habrĆ” estado recibiendo durante aƱos el aprendizaje de que no cumplir la cisheteronorma va a ser motivo de burla y discriminaciĆ³n.
AsĆ que sĆ, es necesario una educaciĆ³n que combata ese aprendizaje social de la discriminaciĆ³n desde muy temprano.
Si crees que niƱos de menos de 10, 11 o 12 aƱos no necesitan oĆr sobre inclusiĆ³n LGBTQ porque antes de esa edad el porcentaje de niƱos que pueden haber tenido esos sentimientos es "muy muy pequeƱo", es que no tienes ni idea.
La identidad de gĆ©nero y la orientaciĆ³n sexoafectiva se empieza a manifestar mucho mucho antes de esa edad. Otra cosa es cuĆ”ndo el individuo toma consciencia de su identidad y orientaciĆ³n.
Pues antes de saltar a las conclusiones, he querido conocer de primera mano lo que ha pasado con el vocalista de Thy Art Is Murder.
Y, bueno, la historia de siempre: "no estoy en contra de la gente LGBTQ, solo quiero proteger a los niƱos".
Y alguna menciĆ³n a la pedofilia sin mucha explicaciĆ³n.

So, as of tomorrow, I'm officially unemployed, my employer decided they can't get an accommodation role for me, after the Employee Relations team dropped the ball on one role, then the other role, just I apparently wasn't chosen for after an interview.
I've had zero luck with The Hartford the last few months as well.
So, at this point, if anyone has any side doors they can help me through for a job, ideal a level 1 or junior SOC or security analyst role, I would really appreciate that. But I am also open for if it's something like an internal Desktop Support, or a low level Sysadmin role, that is work from home, I would really appreciate that. I may not have 100% of the qualifications, but it's something I can do, and for what I don't know, I am a very quick, hands on learner.
I just really need to get an income going again. It's been way too tight just with Kara's income the last year or so.

34) The war on #Libraries by āconservativesā is just another front stoked up against the #LGBTQ community at the behest of those exploiting #CultureWars for political gain.
In truth the #GOP which has been fully co-opted by #Trumpism has nothing to offer on making lives better for #Americans beyond cultivating rage and fear directed at smaller less powerful groups. It is classic #RightWing behavior from the 1930s

26) The #GOP in Congress are doing their bit to move #ReproductiveRights and #LGBTQ issues up the national agenda for #Election2024.
The #HardRight look to start #CultureWars on major legislation wherever possible. Clearly an indication that they want a national #abortion ban and to ostracize the #queer community
A more than questionable winning strategy
