We will try to pass this crap but allow the proliferation of assault weapons because we need to protect ourselves at the cost of our children from a tyrannical gov't. - from the mouths of tyrannical gov't supporters.

Separately and notably, GLAAD — which dropped its opposition to KOSA last year after changes to the bill, easing its path to Democratic support — told me it now wants lawmakers to review the bill in light of "changes in the FTC and other government leadership." https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/06/24/kosa-lgbtq-transgender-wachowski-blackburn-coppa/

It'll allow the Trump regime to legally censor the entire internet. It's part of Project 2025, and of course Democrats are tripping over themselves to endorse it.

👓: "See, when we voted for the "Build a Death Ray" initiative, it made sense at the time. But now someone else is using it, and that makes it evil until we use it again."

GLAAD is (and always has been) a joke that doesn’t speak for the majority of gay men.

wouldnt it be cool if orgs like GLAAD would actually listen to the queer people they supposedly represent instead of falling for every bigot/conservative con

“We naturally assumed censorship and thinly-veiled bigotry hiding behind an a ‘think of the children’ defense employed against queer people since antiquity were fine so long as they were used by a Democrat administration, but Trump is just so rude about it”
