DeSantis limits trans treatments, drag shows, pronoun use in Florida

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has signed bills banning children from undergoing transgender medical treatments or going to drag shows, and restricting pronoun use in classrooms.

Public bathrooms and changing rooms must also be separate "based on biological sex" under the legislation.

Yeah, that's more of dePutin's freedom for Florida agenda. Once again a bathroom bill. Show your genitalia - or your DNA - in order to use the restroom, I guess. "Papers please". Sheesh.

I swear, Florida really is a "Strange World" where a 5th grade teacher is under investigation for showing the Disney film of the same name. Sigh.

LA Dodgers have cancelled Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence from their annual Pride Night.


Bowing to pressure from conservatives including Sen. Marco Rubio, the Los Angeles Dodgers announced on Wednesday that they had uninvited an LGBTQ charity and drag performance group from participation in their annual Pride Night. The organization, the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, is an order of “queer and trans nuns” devoted to “community service, ministry, and outreach to those on the edges, and to promoting human rights, respect for diversity, and spiritual enlightenment,” according to their self-description.

Earlier this week, Sen. Rubio sent a letter to Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred, arguing that by honoring “a group of gay and transgender drag performers that intentionally mocks and degrades Christians” with a “Community Hero Award,” the Dodgers were not “inclusive and welcoming to everyone,” as Manfred has said the league should strive to be. He further accused the team of promoting a “woke far-left anti-Catholic agenda.” Conservative outlets such as the New York Post and Fox News also framed the Sisters as anti-Catholic activists — but since their founding, the group has raised well over a million dollars for nonprofits serving communities in need. Rubio took a victory lap after they were cut from the Dodgers’ Pride Night, tweeting, “For once, common sense prevailed in California.”

You are the most closed minded person on this site outside of the other guy. You refuse to educate yourself. You refuse to read. You said you'd rather spend your time and "party" drinking your ass off. You vote for closed minded bigots who want to strip people's rights away. You vote for people against gay, transgender and women's rights. You vote for people against minorities. Do you enjoy being a complete and utter moron? In case you're lost, this is a liberal site. This isn't your own personal MAGA site. Do you expect to come here with constant attacks on liberals, trolling and spewing Trump talking points and to ever be taken seriously? You NEVER listen to what anyone here has to say. You're just here to be constantly contrary, attack and argue. No one here is influenced by your batshit crazy Trump talking points.

That post was a great example of the openminedness of the left. More proof that the lefts definition of diversity is everyone thinks exactly the same but looks different.

Good job

BTW you keep harping about this being a liberal site. Hmmmm so I guess that makes us both guests. Me as a conservative you as a Canadian

You are the most closed minded person on this board. You vote for it and spew it. So can it with the projection.

It is a liberal site. Here's the point.

You're not here for diversity. You're just here to run your mouth, troll and slander/attack liberals on a liberal message board. You get off on it. Go look at all your posts. That's my point. You never listen to what anyone here says but you think the liberal community here needs to buy into your extreme talking points and slander on a liberal message board. I'm also one person. I'm not "liberals" and I'm not "the left."

Actually I probably agree with 10 to 20pct of the liberal position. Whenever I do create a post that agrees with or supports a liberal position you ignore it.

As for slander um well have you seen the things said to and about me and Joe.

He'll I am just a simple small business man married 43 years raised 3 kids and now am pretty much raising a grandson.

Have 2 horses, 4 chickens, 5 cats all rescued and 3 rescued dogs.

I mow my next door neighbors yard because she is in her 80s and yhe people living with her are to lazy to do it.

I contribute time and money to charity and work 60 to 70 hours a week.

Compare those facts to the picture that gets painted of me here. Even you today said I would rather drink and party than read and study. When do I have time to do either.

The things said to you and Joe? You're in here every single day attacking liberals and trolling. Your entire point here is to attack liberals, on a liberal message board. You call people here closed minded when that's you. It's all you've ever done on every board here. And you get off on it. Go look at your posts. Or I'll tell you what, I'll compile them. It's non stop attacks.

I don't really care about your personal life, your claims on charity or your work load. That has nothing to do with anything if you're looking for sympathy. Your posts reflect that you're not a good person by an observer with the things that you say and who you support and defend.

Not looking for any sympathy just pointing out the people you think conservatives are couldn't be further from the truth.

As for trolling again you are simply wrong. You seem to be of the opinion that an opinion contrary to yours is trolling. I can't begin to tell you how many times you have accused me of trolling when it wasn't even close to being correct.

I believe it is because of two reasons.

First you are so sure of your personal beliefs thar you have a hard time accepting people might actually believe the polar opposite.

Secondly it probably has to do with the fact on many subjects our opinions are miles apart.

You goose-step to whatever Trump or DeSantis tells you to. Drag shows are a case in point - you used to say how you supported gays and trans people. But since they have went on all-out attacks to demonize gays and trans, you are 100% in with them on the hate.

I’m not talking about opinions or beliefs. I’m talking about your constant attacks on liberals.

No I’m not wrong. And yes, you were attempting a sympathy game. You troll. Everyone here knows it. You were kicked off these boards a number of times under stricter rules because of it, and you know it. And if you’d like me to show your constant attacks here I will. It’s easy. For the record, I don’t consider Joe a troll. I don’t agree with what he says, I think he’s a bad communicator, somewhat dishonest and he skirts on things all the time, but I wouldn’t consider him a troll. Others might disagree. So your argument there is bullshit.

Socialist yes but that is an opinion based on the beliefs of many people here. While I know most don't consider themselves to be Socialist they do support much of the Socialist agenda and politicians like AOC and Bernie Sanders as well as those whi have relabeled socialism as democratic socialist.
As for the communist deal that is meant as an insult and usually in retribution of the crap that gets said to me and Joe.
However a person shouldn't partake in one and cry about the other.

No, Glenn, when you insult someone, it’s YOUR fault Take responsibility for your own actions.

You have no idea what socialism is. You think everyone who isn’t full bore with Trump is a socialist. You tell me I’m a socialist, yet I have always functioned in a capitalist society and own my own home and cars.
