I mean, there are #sexualOrientation|s for everything, including #sapiosexual and all the other pomosexual orientations looking at character traits rather than sex or gender, but is there one for exclusively wanting to have sex/falling in love with introverts/extroverts?

University of Alabama quietly abandons sexual orientation & gender identity nondiscrimination policy

When you label yourself as "gay" but rule out anything with a #trans man who doesn't have a penis, you are technically not #homosexual or androsexual but phallussexual. Being phallussexual is not a problem but a preference and this needs to be communicated properly.

Well, if you rule out anything with a trans man who has a penis, you might have certain preferences that trans men you met so far have not fulfilled, but it's likely that you are just transphobic.

Madison Square Garden sues Wired over article alleging celebrity ‘risk scores’ https://www.allforgardening.com/1880016/madison-square-garden-sues-wired-over-article-alleging-celebrity-risk-scores/ #article #DefamationLawsuit #garden #JamesDolan #MadisonSquareGarden #MSG #SexualOrientation

Trump Administration Trashes Biden-Era LGBTQ Foster Care Rule

Remember a few years ago when the administration of failed US President Joe Biden came up with a foster care rule that sought to require children who identify as LGBTQ be placed with families willing to accept them through gender identity? That outrageous rule was never implemented but the Trump administration formally eliminated it which is good for the United States, according to a news report by Newsmax.

To put things in perspective, posted below is the excerpt of the Newsmax report. Some parts in boldface…

The Trump administration on Tuesday formally eliminated a Biden-era foster care rule that sought to require children who identify as LGBTQ be placed with families willing to affirm their stated gender identity or sexual orientation.

The Department of Health and Human Services’ Administration for Children and Families (ACF) removed the April 2024 regulation from the Code of Federal Regulations, saying the move will provide clarity and help recruit more foster families nationwide.

The rule never took effect after it was struck down by the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, but the administration said removing it entirely closes the door on the policy.

Assistant HHS Secretary Alex Adams told The Daily Wire the decision reflects the administration’s belief that more families should feel welcome to foster children.

“The message that we think it sends is that all families are welcome,” Adams said. “We have too few foster families nationally. We must roll out the red carpet, and we must ensure that there’s homes waiting on kids, not kids waiting on homes.”

The Biden administration’s rule directed federally funded child welfare agencies to ensure that children who “self-identify with an alternative sexual orientation or self-identify as something other than their sex in foster care” were placed with families that would affirm those identities.

The Trump administration said rescinding the regulation supports first lady Melania Trump’s “Fostering the Future” initiative and a related executive order calling for a government-wide effort to strengthen the nation’s foster care system.

Adams said the administration has also launched its “Home for Every Child” campaign to increase the number of foster homes available for children entering the system.

“Nationally, we have a shortage,” Adams said. “We only have 57 homes for every 100 kids coming in, so we can and must do better to ensure that there’s enough homes for kids because when there’s not enough homes, kids end up in short-term rentals, hotels, government office spaces, etc.”

Adams said families with strong religious beliefs and moral convictions make up a large share of those willing to foster children, making it critical that the federal government not discourage them from participating.

Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this development? Are you delighted that US President Donald Trump and his administration scrapped the Biden-era rule and made sure it would not be revived soon? Do you think the woke, the SJWs and LGBTQ mob will react violently to this development?

You Know Someone: Harvey Milk’s Fifty-Year-Old Message We Never Finished Hearing

New demonym just mutated: gender/queer.
As in genderqueer or ... Sexqueer?
I gotta be honest, I still adore the simpliciry of MOGAI, tbqh.
Speakable, categorised, and (not completely, unfortunately, but mostly) inclusive.
I know queer isn't something every member of mistreatment person interactions is comfortable with.
There probably isn't "a" solution.
I do like gender/queer for most cis hets and MOGAI for in-group comms.

Texas Tech faculty say Republican anti-LGBTQ+ curriculum rules are driving professors away

@kb6nu @allianceradio We also have to think "#intersectional" as Dr. #KimberlyCrenshaw says. We have to work across the #race, #class, #gender, #sexualorientation dimensions.

Georgia educator says she was forced to resign after telling student she’s gay

Iowa can enforce previously blocked ‘don’t say gay’ law, appeals court rules

Mexico’s Senate 🏛️ has unanimously approved reforms embedding protections for #sexual-orientation and #gender-identity ⚧️ across numerous federal laws 📜 governing health 🏥, education 🎓, employment 💼, and justice ⚖️. The changes extend #anti-discrimination principles 🚫 throughout the country 🏳️‍🌈. #LGBTQ+

In general, the #FirstAmendment prevents the government from restricting #speech because it dislikes the content or message. But #SCOTUS has said certain restrictions aimed at governing a person’s conduct are permissible even if they incidentally burden speech. [if those restrictions adhere to the justices’ own ideologies.]

In her court filings, Mrs. Chiles said she was not seeking to “cure” clients of same-sex attractions or to “change” their #SexualOrientation, but rather to help patients with their own stated goals, which sometimes include “seeking to reduce or eliminate unwanted sexual attractions.” [um, #CognitiveDissonance much?]

#SCOTUS #Colorado #law #MentalHealth #gender #identity #LGBTQ #ConversionTherapy

Only Justice #KetanjiBrownJackson dissented, reading a lengthy summary of her opposition from the bench.

Colorado’s statute, adopted in 2019, prohibits “any practice or treatment” that tries to change a minor’s “gender expressions or to eliminate or reduce sexual or romantic attraction or feelings toward individuals of the same sex.”

#SCOTUS #Colorado #law #MentalHealth #SexualOrientation #gender #identity #LGBTQ #ConversionTherapy

In its decision, #SCOTUS said the #law, as applied to talk therapy, impermissibly interferes with #FreeSpeech.

“#Colorado may regard its policy as essential to #PublicHealth & safety,” Justice Neil M. #Gorsuch wrote for himself & 7 other justices from across the ideological spectrum. “But the #FirstAmendment stands as a shield against any effort to enforce orthodoxy in thought or speech in this country.”

#MentalHealth #SexualOrientation #gender #identity #LGBTQ #ConversionTherapy

#SCOTUS Tuesday sided with a #Christian #therapist, rejecting a #Colorado #law that prohibited #MentalHealth professionals from trying to change the #SexualOrientation or #gender #identity of #LGBTQ minors.

The court’s decision has implications for >20 other states that have similar laws banning [barbaric] so-called #ConversionTherapy, which critics say is ineffective & potentially dangerous for young people.

As the Chair of the local #Pride board, I want to convince the Directors that various #BlackLivesMatter #flags, and #antinazi flags, should be available among the other #gender identity and #sexualorientation Pride flags that we sell at Pride events.

What would you say?
