After Decade-Plus Of Pride Celebrations, Corporations Are Caving To Right-Wing Anti-LGBTQ Threats

One thing I have learned in my career in reproductivr physiology is it is not “either/or” in gender. Think in terms of a continuum. It is not a simple proposition.

I can agree that human sexuality has a spectrum & that sexual behaviors are “fluid”.

Given that; how is anyones civil rights being violated on the basis of their sexual fluidity?

Target decides not to sell swimsuits that accomodate male genitals in the Womens swimwear section. How is that a civil rights violation?

Are womens civil rights being violated by selling swimsuits in WOMENs department that are made for male genitalia?

Is it a civil rights violation or marketing.
Should there be a separate male & female department for swimwear?

I also believe all American citizens enjoy civil rights legally.

If only that were true, then the ACLU would have no reason to exist…and all LGBTQ people would feel safe in their workplace, schools, and public restrooms.

As far as your other replies to my comments and to others’ comments, I am bewildered. I feel like you are (purposely?) trying to distort the issue to fit your personal beliefs about LGBTQ+ people.

I will let someone else respond to you, if they so desire.

That would be the point

Though the bigots are using terfs for cloud cover, it’s still weird that folks have to be reminded that the reactionaries are coming for everyone who are seen outside of the circle.(contraception, etc.)

wel, no! if tiy don’t want the swim suits, you don’t have to buy thm… it would make sense for the men to buy the swim stuff in the mens department, for years, women bought their LEVIS in the mens department!..i just can’t get upset about this nonsense.

@kelaine

agree with what most of us think is self-evident, doesn’t it make more sense to educate them and to help them understand?

uh, excuse me!what is self evident to one indivdual doesn’t mean HS to another person…for myself, i don’t need to be educated…and i do understand…

I don’t understand how sexual behavioral choices have anything to do with civil rights. I also believe all American citizens enjoy civil rights legally.
[personaly…i don’t know whether any person is one of the letters or not, unless they tell me,and even then, i don’t really care.

Republican Fascists in Florida and elsewhere won’t stop until the US looks like Russia … a wasteland of ignorant people that do the bidding of rich oligarchs.

it wouldn’t do any good,these people aren’t going to stop until it really affects them or their money.

Catholic League and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) accused the group of mocking nuns and Christianity.

MARCO seems to have forgotten about all the priests in Florida who molested/abused all those alter boys… maybe he was one of them?

[kelaine]

I’m not sure why you are angry that I asked people not to mock a member of our community who seems to be confused by LGBTQ rights.

@PacificSparkles

his is the 21st century & for purposes of discussion I’d like to focus there & not on numerous civil rights that were denied in the 20th century to many Americans beyond sexual/gender preferences.

thank you! so many ‘rights’ to be violated…i’m an old person and i bet i could come up with several ;rights’ pertaining to me. that are violated every day…there are so many complainers…that it all becomes ‘dust in the wind’.

[john_adams]

Nah, Little Marco is just another loser C-student who went to second rate schools who’ll kiss any ass if he thinks it’ll benefit him. He’s just another grifter whose currency is bullshit, whatever some idiot is buying, he’s selling.

I did the same thing. Ordered the pride flag cake mix online, then when picking up bought some of the paper tableware. No evidence of hiding the merchandise in Southfield, MI (affluent AA/Jewish suburb of Detroit)

What about Walla Walla? They’re well known sweet onions.

And even more known for the Little Giant Vacuum Cleaner Company.

“Good day, sir, I represent the Little Giant Vacuum Cleaner Company, Walla Walla, Washington. And if you watch closely, you’ll notice the powerful action of this machine as it removes completely and forever all foreign particles from around the room. I realize that you may not be ready to purchase the Little Giant right now but if you ever do, just remember the Little Giant Vacuum Cleaner Company, Walla Walla, Washington.”

(Why, yes, my childhood was wasted in front of the glass teat Thanks for asking.)

[voreason]

Well, yeah, because I’m pretty certain that what they would like to do would be to take us into stadiums and shoot us in the head.

Let’s not let that happen.
