Human Rights Campaign Declares State of Emergency Over Treatment of LGBT Community
Babylon Bee managing editor: “Translation: they are declaring a state of emergency for their corporate extortion racket that nobody wants anything to do with anymore.”
Yes, the Human Rights Campaign declared a state of emergency for the first time ever over the treatment of the gay community!
Today, the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) — the nation’s largest lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ+) civil rights organization — officially declared a state of emergency for LGBTQ+ people in the United States for the first time in its more than 40-year history, following an unprecedented and dangerous spike in anti-LGBTQ+ legislative assaults sweeping state houses this year. A new report released by HRC today — LGBTQ+ Americans Under Attack — details more than 75 anti-LGBTQ+ bills that have been signed into law this year alone, more than doubling last year’s number, which was previously the worst year on record.
The sharp rise in anti-LGBTQ+ measures has spawned a dizzying patchwork of discriminatory state laws that have created increasingly hostile and dangerous environments for LGBTQ+ people, prompting HRC today to also issue a national warning and downloadable guidebook for the LGBTQ+ community — including health and safety resources, a summary of state-by-state laws, “know your rights” information, and resources designed to support LGBTQ+ travelers as well as those already living in hostile states. This guidebook will arm LGBTQ+ people with resources and information to help ensure safety in all 50 states.
Guys, it’s an emergency because some states don’t allow doctors to mutilate children! They also don’t allow biological men to participate in women’s sports! They don’t allow transgenders to use their “chosen” bathroom!
A transgender friend of mine is frustrated over the bathroom stuff. She told me that everyone has probably shared a public bathroom with a transgender at one point, but some transgenders had to make it known and ruined it for everyone.
The lies. CLIMATE OF FEAR. The lies make me so sick:
Florida stands at the forefront of the fight against these oppressive laws now proliferating throughout the nation. It is heartbreaking to witness families uproot themselves in search of access to healthcare and inclusive classrooms, free from book bans and censorship. Our universities, once renowned for their talent and innovation, are witnessing a drain of exceptional educators and students who now seek refuge in places where academic freedom and excellence prevail over political indoctrination. Our state’s economy has lost over $1 billion as businesses and conferences withdraw their investment in our state. The assault on freedom is not limited to one state but permeates across America. The erosion of civil liberties by extremists to further their own political ambitions poses a direct threat to the health and safety of LGBTQ individuals. It is imperative for all of us to recognize the gravity of this moment and commit ourselves to being on the frontlines, unwavering in our fight for freedom.”
Nadine Smith, CEO of Equality Florida
They act like we’re reliving the time of Reconstruction to the Civil Rights Movement.
If parents are moving their children out of state out of fear, they need to turn off the TV, put down the paper, and get away from social media.
HRC President Kelley Robinson told The Associated Press that she’s had so many parents tell her they’ve had to do that for their child.
The AP slobbers up everything Robinson and HRC have to say:
Among the latest, one of a series of bills that could receive final passage as soon as Tuesday in Louisiana would broadly ban K-12 public school employees from discussing sexual orientation or gender identity in the classroom. The legislation is similar to the Florida law critics call “Don’t Say Gay.”
As many LGBTQ+ Americans are celebrating their identities this month against the backdrop of a dizzying array of new restrictions, some trans people and their families are scrambling to flee their home states. Others have suddenly found themselves without access to medical care many credit as life-saving, and are turning to often-dangerous “do-it-yourself” hormone treatments to avoid involuntarily reversing their physical transitions.
My head is spinning. Don’t mutilate children. Don’t talk about anything sexual with minors unless it’s a sex education class or part of a class topic.
No shock this is happening after the Target backlash.

We are tired of having everything shoved in our faces.
LGBT groups are also ticked that Target pulled the Pride merchandise.
You mean the businesses take part because they want to make money? When they realize their strategy is costing them money, they use a different strategy?
Say what?! No way. They do the same for breast cancer month and holidays.
“Doubling down on your values is not only the right thing to do, it’s good for business,” HRC and other groups wrote in their statement.
Dudes. Deep down, those in charge care more about the bottom line than anything. Without a profit, the company cannot stay in business.

We have man, woman. Then there are gay men and women. Trans is being pushed heavy and I think it is being done so Big Pharma and Big Med can make MONEY. Bottom line no trans should happen to anyone that are not adult and even then they have to be mental.
Whirlwind Alert!
But it was such a sweet, compassionate little wind that we sewed…
Like a 9mm JHP “microburst of love!”
Tolerance is intolerable. Anything short of celebrating the transgender spectrum is deplorable.
The Democrats and Progressive [Liberal] sects really stepped in it with “Respect for Marriage Act”. Civil unions for all consenting adults.
Oh, and the albinophobia of Rainbow symbols and rhetoric in a human context is simply surreal. What mortal god, goddess, expert, or gay conductor overlooked this ancient deficit of political congruence (“=”)?
How is this possible?
Reading Man Arrested for Quoting Bible in Public

If they events described are true than that man is going to be very rich. What he is reported to have done is clearly covered by the 1st Amendment and supported by numerous court cases.
And yet, he was still arrested. J6 protesters thought they had the right to air their grievances with the government, but they were arrested. And the government is constantly talking about disarming the citizens despite the 2nd Amendment specifically forbidding the government from doing so.
Totalitarians and tyrants do not care about words on paper.
Constitution or no constitution, God-given or no God-given, the realpolitik is that a person has only the rights he can defend.
That’s why I firmly believe there is no voting our way out of this.
Show that to any libertarian who believes “live and let live” is a viable social policy.
I think the ‘btq’ part is becoming a threat to the ‘lg’ population.
As to the “lg” … “l”s are “g”, so why the redundancy?
The first two letters of their stupid acronym (one of the most ridiculous acronyms in history) is a mistake. LOL.
Pædant!
3 downvotes on that?
Wow … tough crowd. Or a bunch of “g”s … non-l “g”s – “mg”s.
I have never known why because technically and formally, L and G would be H. I guess the more letters one can string together the more it suits their cause..
It’s a Chowder and Marching Society. It started off simple, then caved under pressure to Be Inclusive. Now they have to accept every sexual intersectionalist who demands their own letter. And you know the Ps aren’t going to be satisfied with + forever.
The beastiality bunch aren’t going to accept the “B” for bi letter, nor the “+”. They will want their own special recognition.
No, it is not us stringing on more characters for our “cause”. Quite a few Ls and Gs are raising hell about those who are jumping on the bandwagon for a free ride.
I am not part of the “cause”. I am G, and just want to lead my life in peace. A goodly number of the “cause” people are the ones flying the rainbow flags (or the bear sub-culture shades-of-skin flags). Their entire worldview is through the prism of their sexual orientation. Not me, and not the majority of the ones I know.
“Quite a few Ls and Gs are raising hell about those who are jumping on the bandwagon for a free ride.”
Precisely my point. I linked to a Andrew Sullivan article about that very thing last week.
I think the point trying to be made, however poorly it was executed, is that it is a tactic of the community organizers of the left to make things look big and bad and super important. As a wordsmith yourself, you can’t deny that stringing a whole bunch of letters to the end of a messy acronym was a deliberate attempt to make it more apparent and prominent in the woke propaganda.
If only you were in charge of your “cause”… but you’re not.
It has been pried out of your grasp by Conquest’s Second Law. And those in charge of it now are doing exactly what I claim.
The Alphabet people are truthfully MII… mentally ill or injured.
The acronym is stupid and who can keep track of all the +, -,/, % etc being added seemingly daily but the difference in L and G is traditionally one is used by women and one by men although both are gay. You know this, though.
But it’s fun to see “woke” politicians (like Trudeau) consistently fumble it in public.
Hell, it’s so confusing that they won’t even let Brandon attempt to say it!
Pretty sure in 2023 nobody cares if someone is LGB. The rest of the alphabet people are definitely a drag on them, so to speak.
The only legislation ‘sweeping the Nation’ that I know of is directed towards:
1. Keeping sexual topics and lifestyle discussions away from kids which PO the teachers who desperately want to discuss their lifestyle and/or groom children.
2. Emphasizing that folks with a penis are male and use male facilities and participate in athletic competition against other males and that females lack a penis and use female facilities and participate in athletic competition against other females.
The hysteria from the alphabet people’s large, prominent grifter organizations is manufactured. They are upset b/c as the article points out the shakedown operation may be coming to an end as ordinary consumers push back and begin to make the embrace of ‘woke’ more costly than simple neutrality. People don’t like being made to care.
To your point of grifting, check this out, comments too:

Emergency? More blacks are killed in a weekend in Chicago than LGBTQs in a year.
The only emergency is that Dylan Mulvaney is out of work.
Tough work, drinking one can of beer.
Oy! That you call beer?!?
Well, he’s not really out of work. He is still getting $$$$$$ for being an influencer on Ticky Tock. Therefore, He is merely a whore.
Personally, I’m just tired of people acting like the country in which most major institutions and government organizations fly the pride flag more than they fly our own is so hopelessly somethingphobic that they need to sell your children tuck-friendly bathing suits or else you’re committing genocide.
Most children don’t know what a dïck is for, other than peeing and it “feels funny when I rub it.”
If the crazies had their way, two year olds would be wearing condoms that don’t fit.
They should figure out that the T has turned against them.
See #ProtectThePride, #BoycottOxfam and #LGBWithoutTheT — I notice that this is a heated discussion, but not necessarily involving straights.
I warned a gay acquaintance of mine that allowing the T and any other alphabet people to hitch their wagon to LGB was eventually going to cause a backlash. The man was smart, PHD candidate at the time, well traveled, generally level headed but he couldn’t grasp the fact that pushing too far, too fast or ever in the case of transitioning kids, would create an over correction from the normals.
There does seem to finally be an awareness among some that the T philosophy in general and in particular pushing it upon kids is Cray Cray and they are beginning to mobilize and speak out against it. Very welcome voices and about damn time.
The “T philosophy” is in reality Queer Theory, which essence is the perversion/ overthrowing/ destruction of all that is “normal.” It’s a fundamental denial of reality.
It is no accident that they are going hard & fast after the kids – not only do they want them maimed for life, but they want them confused and effed up in the head. Complete destruction of the next generation.
Yes indeed. Which is why the woke mob must be stood up to in all it’s forms; Trans, climate change, defund LEO, open borders, tax dollars to grifter ‘non profit’ orgs, CRT/DEI/ESG and all the rest. We can’t afford to ignore the culture war issues any longer. We must undo and roll back the gains made by the lefty woke weirdos hopefully for good.
“If parents are moving their children out of [Florida] out of fear, they need to turn off the TV, put down the paper, and get away from social media.”
No — they need to take I-10 or I-95 and keep driving until the route ends.
Take the I-10…just don’t stop in Arizona!
If they don’t, they end up in California, and suddenly they’re back where they started!
New Mexico is nice…
I-75 is also a viable option. Clear to Sault Ste. Marie.
In response, I think we should put one of their books back in schools. “Ze who cried wolf” should be mandatory reading.
“They act like we’re reliving the time of Reconstruction to the Civil Rights Movement.”
One of the greatest sins of Civil Rights groups like the NAACP was to allow this group of perverts to latch onto that movement and black issues in general to push the LGBT movement on America.
HRC today to also issue a national warning and downloadable guidebook for the LGBTQ+ community — including health and safety resources,
So … they’re advising to stop rampant anal sex because of the many dangerous diseases it exposes people, and society, to? But they still advise schools to instruct 7 year olds on it …
Queer theory is all about shocking establishment norms. But the establishment is normalizing queer…
So, I’m confused, are normal people now considered shocking? Do queer people want to be the norm? Or, if the struggle is the revolution, does the bar have to continuously be raised to keep shocking establishment norms?
Queer theory isn’t about acceptance, or power, or control; it’s about the destruction of the United States of America through the attempted destruction of the values of those who believe in G-d and the Bible.
You have to be so careful with plaids.
You can always count on the vile Dumb-o-crats to contrive an alleged “crisis” out of thin air, in order to advance their political agenda.
It’s amazing, isn’t it? The Dumbs never have an optimistic or positive word to say about anything in the U.S. Their entire wretched and corrosive socioeconomic ethos and agenda are all negativity, pessimism, fear-mongering and self-flagellation, 24-7.
I am so so sick of this forced celebration of what and who some people like to do with their genitals. Why are they so desperate to involve us in their sex lives…. It’s really starting to feel like an indulged group of incredibly needy narcissists
The entire Democrat ethos is nothing but narcissism disguising itself as altruism.
Well-said. A malignant and pathological narcissism lies at the core of the Leftist/Dumb-o-crat collective ethos and individual persona.
That is a very nice turn of phrase.
LGBQXYZ is being jambed down our throats every minute of the day, WTF did they think would happen doing that?
It’s a mental illness being pushed onto mostly kids, why shouldn’t it be stopped?
Everyone was pretty much on board with knowing that LGB was a “thing.”
It wasn’t until the perverts started going after our kids that is became a “THING” that needed to be dealt with.
It won’t be long before the dog lovers and pedophiles want their own letter in the “LaGitaBitaQua” alphabet soup.
“In your face” took on a whole new meaning when “Girls with cocks” started parading around girls locker rooms.
In the bar after completing a joint exercise a wise, crusty old Marine Gunny observed that ‘there’s no such thing as chicks with dicks, there’s only dudes with tits’.
Yes, but I was given them fairly by God, and Colonel Sanders.
“The erosion of civil liberties by extremists to further their own political ambitions poses a direct threat to the health and safety of LGBTQ individuals.”
The problem is that “the call is coming from within the building’. There is an eroding of civil liberties by extremists: your extremists, to further their own political ambitions; your political ambitions. And it does pose a threat but it’s a self-made threat to you, Nadine.
“The call is coming from inside the house.” Chewy!
We should say that every time an “activist” complains about “genocide against trans people.”
At a 41% suicide attempt rate, the only actual trans “genocide” being conducted is self-genocide.
I identify as TAX EXEMPT. Why doesn’t the government support me in my journey of self discovery and awareness…?
This has zero to with civil rights and everything to do with mainstreaming the idea as early as childhood that all sorts of personal relationships and sexual behavior are normal
All they had to do was leave the kids alone. That’s it. No one cares or cared about someone being homosexual or about drag shows . . . until they started grooming little kids in taxpayer-funded public schools, exposing them to fake science (men cannot become women under any circumstances, nor vice versa), and pushing them to permanently destroy their sexual organs and bodies. That was a bridge too far, and there is no way we are backing down.

Separately, Human Rights Campaign declares state of emergency over treatment of human rites performed for social, redistributive, clinical, political, criminal, and fair weather progress. Keep women and girls affordable available and taxable, and the “burden” of human evidence sequestered in sanctuary States.
Hysteria fuels the LGBT+ crowd. But feelings don’t pay the bills or shore up the stock prices for their corporate sponsors.
Are there even enough LGBT+’s to buy all the LGBT+ merch? Most of this stuff will probably be donated to charity and end up on unknowing people in third world countries.
Send it to Japan. They can be snookered into buying English-language t-shirts that say the most bizarre things, and actually wearing them in public and on camera.
The corporations are going woke due to financial pressure from Blackrock and Vanguard, and a few other big financial corps.
Normal people invest in mutual funds, the woke corporations that run those mutual funds invest substantially in pretty much everything, and use those investments to push the companies they are investing in to go woke also.
Until the Bud Light backlash, none of those corps imagined there would ever be any downside risk. That has changed dramatically since.
“HRC Goes to Bat For Child Sexual Predators”
Fixed that headline for you.
I’m gay, and I call bullshit on Human Rights Campaign. What a pack of shysters.
