They’re caving to bullies’: queer influencers in the US say brands have gone quiet
Montoya noticed something concerning. Pride is usually a busy time for the influencer, who has over 800,000 TikTok followers and posts videos about trans rights and issues. But this year, she says, fewer brands have reached out.
“I’ve spoken to a lot of my trans friends and colleagues, and we’ve all noticed less brands seeking partnerships and smaller budgets for Pride campaigns,” Montoya said. “It’s disappointing.”
LGBTQ+ rights are under assault across the US: 45 states have proposed anti-trans bills in 2023, from so-called bathroom bills to laws that restrict the rights of trans children. Drag show bans have swept through states, with conservative leaders peddling homophobic tropes about “grooming” children.
And, there's the lie.
LGBTQ+ absolutely ain't under assault across the US. In fact, LGBs are more a part of America's mainstream than ever. It's TQs whose cause is in trouble, even and especially from LGBs. Serious, serious trouble.
The second head of pb's three-headed anti-woke monster is anti-TQ LGB groups and activists.
And, as I've noted here several times, even trans people who don't insist on being woke are doing well. GAG, is careful to welcome trans people who don't support the trans political agenda and trans ideology to join its cause...and, some do. If you’re trans and politically conservative, good times! But, queers? Oy!
As the word's used in this context, queer essentiallly equals groomer. Truth? 45 states have not proposed anti-trans laws in 023. They're anti-groomer laws.
Big diff!

Official State Religion Enters High Holy Days
"I am urging all Americans to publicly bend the knee before our sacred rainbow symbol," said President Biden in an address to the nation. "Let us all take the time to pray and feast before our god of prideful human flesh, and before its sacred messengers, the genitals. We are a nation of Pride, blessings be upon its name. Just celebrate it, folks! Not a joke! Ok, can I have my snack now?"
Holy prophets in public schools, corporate DEI departments, and Target supermarkets have been dispatched across the land to bear witness to the glories of Pride and destroy the lives of those who refuse to publically worship the vengeful deity. "Blasphemy will not be tolerated," said Divine Elder Mixie Vavoom, (they/them). "We are the eyes and ears of Pride, and we are watching you."
So effin true. Baha
