It amazes this editor what issues compel “activists” to organize events like this one, where they disrupted the business of the Texas legislature. SB 14 would ban “gender-affirming care” for minors, who we’ve been assured will commit suicide if they don’t receive life-saving puberty blockers, hormone treatments, and double mastectomies before the age of 18. By that age, they’ve already gone through “forced puberty.” And once again, remember that the Biden administration is behind “gender-affirming care” 100 percent.
NOW: House Speaker @DadePhelan orders the Sgt. at Arms to clear the gallery after LGBTQ protesters and allies break out into chants against SB 14, which would ban gender affirming care for minors. #txlege pic.twitter.com/XYHiqdNPhm

Looks kind of insurrection-y if you ask me.

School official: “Hey seniors, want a skip day? Let’s go to a state capitol. I’ll explain what you need to do and say. Full credit and beer and pizza afterwards. Your parents will never know.”

So I’m assuming they’ll be tossed in prison for a couple of years until their trials where they’ll be beaten, starved & deprived of their constitutional rights …

They were emboldened by the Tennessee Insurrection.

Someone from the White House is probably already on the phone trying to track them down to invite them to the Oval Office.
Worse than Jan 6. Am I doing this right?

They weighed the risk vs the reward and realized… there’s no risk.

Good point.
Always remember, they're not after your children. They just protest every law intended to protect children, that's all. Completely unrelated.

If “gender-affirming care” for minors is such a popular issue, why do protesters (and Democrat legislators) have to keep shouting down anyone who says otherwise?
