I browsed through the disclaimers and caveats (about 10 pages) the methods and analytics (about 92.67 pages) and stared at the pretty graphs ...



then I looked in vain for a conclusions section. Clearly they're too professional to do anything so unscientific.

But what is the conclusion? I'm sensing a significant correlation - but do they suggest any causative links - between the headline factors or with other underlying factors?

Or it is just "hey, neuro-diversity and gender-diversity are linked, who would have guessed".

These people harassed my family because we were flying gay pride flags in Moses Lake Washington, by racing around us and shouting gay slurs. Then, their boat literally blew up! #KarmaIsReal pic.twitter.com/cN7L74pHS6

I have about zero understanding of straight club culture let alone gay club culture, but I would be all for straight girls being allowed in but they absolutely have to be cool with being hit on by other girls.

I mean if straight girls want a space where they're safe from men hitting on them, which is absolutely a valid thing, and safe from girls hitting on them ... there should be straight girls clubs. Someone should get on that.

An article on the BBC about the (post 1000CE) history of the gay.

It's surreal watching a lot of prominent gay people realize how suddenly there is this massive resuscitation of homophobia in the media. They've been using transphobia as a trial balloon for years with no major pushback. This is just the next step for them. We warned y'all. https://t.co/IdYZGyUxAx

I laughed at this harder than I should have because I have lived it.

Is there a cultural or media reference there that I'm supposed to get? [thanks] given even on face value.

[Kamilah Hauptmann]

Not that I know of, just the act of getting carded while in drag.

(I got the cartoon from a trans message board and the joke is someone transitioning but hasn't had their ID updated, but I could relate to this one.)

The Prime Minister has changed his mind off the back of the reaction to our report and he WILL now ban conversion therapy after all.

Senior Govt source absolutely assures me it’ll be in Queen’s Speech.

But only gay conversion therapy, not trans.

Thanks for posting that. I've been reading about that article for days--in particular the ludicrous claims that Lorenz and the Washington Post were "doxxing" this freak by publishing information gleaned from ...checks notes... public whois data--but I hadn't read the actual article yet.

However, when registering the domain LibsofTikTok.us last October, she used her full name and cellphone number linked to her real estate salesperson contact information.
