Conversion therapy is a discredited, harmful practice that puts LGBTQ+ young people at risk. New York will keep doing what’s right and protect our kids and continue to stand firmly on the side of dignity, safety, and equality. I’m proud to have written the legislation alongside @DeborahJGlick to ban this practice for our youth in New York State.
The Associated Press@AP

BREAKING: The Supreme Court ruled against a law banning “conversion therapy” for LGBTQ+ kids in Colorado, one of about two dozen states that banned the discredited practice. apnews.com/article/suprem…

Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani
Today is Trans Day of Visibility. Trans, non-binary, and gender-nonconforming people have always been here — from the hijra of India to the Diné nádleehi to the leaders who built the modern LGBTQIA+ movement here in New York. Your existence is not up for debate. Your lives are not a political issue. We’re fighting for a city where every trans New Yorker can live openly, safely, and with joy.

The Comeback is one of my favorite TV shows ever, and Lisa Kudrow is an absolute genius in it, and the scene of her singing I will survive still haunts me. And now it’s back after a decade, that all makes me nervous to watch it and revisit it!

Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani
Today, I signed an executive order establishing the first-ever Mayor’s Office of LGBTQIA+ Affairs and appointing the brilliant Taylor Brown as Director. Queer New Yorkers deserve to be not just protected, but celebrated in this city. Together, we will fight for their right to live a life of dignity, safety, and unabashed pride.

The attack in trans women has always been a movement to further police womanhood, because they think the only defining thing about a woman is being a feminine, subservient, heterosexual, maker of babies for men. They are just gender MAGA
Miffy@miffythegamer

LGBT+ folks and their allies have long said that once TERFs, like uber-dimwit @sharrond62, were bored of monstering trans people they would move on to removing women’s reproductive rights. But we were told we were being ridiculous.
