CW: sexual assault

June 6th, Trump calls Graham Platner a pig — on the record, when the pig was useful. July, a woman credibly accuses Platner of rape, and suddenly Trump discovers doubt: "a question of whether you believe the woman."

The man is liable for sexual abuse. Owes E. Jean Carroll $5.8 million. Accused by 27 women.

House Republicans want a ban on six stripes of colored cloth written into federal law. Actual staff hours. An actual bill. On the pressing national crisis of a rainbow

They pulled the flag off the National Stonewall Monument — the one federally managed site that honors queer history — and couldn't leave even that alone

The color was never in the asphalt. What are they so afraid?

Two erasures, one Tuesday. A buoy comes out of the North Atlantic after 13 years measuring the dying sea — and a trans girl who fought her school's bathroom law stops fighting. Notice which one made the morning report.

16 states now define "sex" to write trans people out of legal existence. 26 ban gender-affirming care for youth. A child shouldn't have to be brave. That we ask it of them is the indictment.

JB Pritzker signed 3 trans-rights bills into law in Illinois. Then he walked in a Pride parade that same afternoon.

That is how you know he means it. Not the signature — a body in the street, after, in the open, in the heat.

"We are a few steps closer to a state where all can live without fear of hate," he said.

"S.F. police, marchers clash on Market Street during Trans March

Marchers and police clashed on Friday night toward the end of the Trans March in the Tenderloin, according to multiple witnesses and footage of the skirmish.

Three witnesses told the Chronicle it all started when police tried to arrest someone spray painting a building near Market and Turk streets. When marchers approached and tried to block the arrest, officers responded with force, according to Nora Long and other witnesses.

People could be heard on video shared with the Chronicle, repeatedly yelling, 'let him go.'

'The cops dragged them and threw them to the ground, and then protesters got in there trying to stop them,' Long told the Chronicle. 'From there, the cops responded with more violence.'

Videos posted to social media showed an officer shove one person to the ground twice, as a crowd approached police on Market Street. Another video captured a person climbing on top of a patrol car, then being dragged to the ground and detained by officers.

The San Francisco Police Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Thousands of people participated in the Trans March, which began at Dolores Park, continued down Market Street and ended at Turk and Taylor streets, site of a 1966 skirmish between drag queens and police seen as a catalyst for transgender activism. The march is the traditional kickoff to LGBTQ Pride Weekend.

At one point Friday, police carrying some sort of weapon formed a line to slow a portion of a march on Market Street. Elsewhere, police were carrying batons as a crowd swarmed around them, footage shared with the Chronicle shows.

William Warren Sr. and Jenna England said they didn't see the initial confrontation between the police and the person they apparently arrested.

They said that when officers showed up, a group of marchers linked arms to protect the crowd of around 200 protesters. Officers pushed back the crowd as they began to chant: 'Who keeps us safe? We keep us safe.'

Several witnesses described the officers shoving the crowd back, blocking the street for around 20 minutes.

'The police were unnecessarily escalatory against a crowd that was nonviolent,' said march attendee Jenna England. 'It didn’t fit the tone of the march and the occasion. It could be traumatizing for people there — especially when the event is commemorating a protest against police brutality.'

The tension was broken when some members of the Brass Liberation Orchestra showed up to the police line and began playing their sousaphone.

'They saved the day,' said Warren, who added 'this is why we don’t want cops at Pride.'"

Rainbow Railroad logged 20,215 relocation requests last year — a 51% jump, its highest ever. Roughly 31% came from inside the United States, up from about 13%. Of those, about 88% were American citizens.

We built the underground railroad to carry our people here.

#FromMyGenXLife here's something Boomers relate to that GenZ does not: being away from home and needing to find a pay phone while breathing exhaust from leaded gasoline.

Here's something GenZ understands that Boomers don't: Until I was 50, I never had a job that lasted more than 2.5 years.

Here's one thing GenZ understands that everyone must: #Queer #LGBT+ kids don't have to grow up bullied and abused from the streets to the state houses like we did.

Under bombardment, Zelensky stood in Kyiv and said queer Ukrainians are the same, with the same rights — prejudice belongs to the 15th century. Over 70% of Ukrainians agree. Dignity isn't a prize you earn after the war. It's part of what you're fighting for.

In case you haven’t seen it elsewhere, today there is a nationwide protest against NZ’s Definitions of Woman and Man Amendment Bill. To quote the rainbowgreens Instagram page, that’s “a proposed law that threatens the identity, safety and wellbeing of trans people”. Proposed by NZ First, the bill has the support of ACT and National, and so can pass into law unless we make a LOT of noise and make National realise that centre NZ abhors this.

Personally, my daughter is trans and I am furious about this. Perhaps I’ll see you at the Bridge of Remembrance at 1pm.

The protests are happening here:

🏳️‍⚧️Tāmaki Makarau/Auckland: Myers Park, 12pm

🏳️‍⚧️ Kirikiriroa/Hamilton: Civic Square, 12pm

🏳️‍⚧️Pōneke/Wellington: Civic Square - 12pm

🏳️‍⚧️Ōtautahi/Christchurch: Bridge of Remembrance, 1pm

🏳️‍⚧️Whakatū/Nelson: 1903 Square, 2pm

A screenshot from the Instagram page of the NZ Rainbowgreens announcing a nationwide protest against the Definitions of Woman and Man amendment bill. The site has a poster for the protest in each major centre and I’ve got the one for Ōtautahi shown here.

A pastor told a real microphone that second-grade teachers turn boys gay. No evidence — just misogyny wearing a cross: find a body to punish, dress the cruelty in scripture, call it love. A boy who grows up gentle in a world this loud isn't failing at manhood. He's surviving an assault on it.

Nine people showed up to hate a drag story hour. Two hundred neighbors stood in the road between them and the children. Qween Jean made history as a trans Tony winner with 500 looks. A trans deputy outlasted seven years of her own department. The hate is loud — and God, is it outnumbered.

Purrs @NewPerspectives Follow In america its more acceptable to be a pedophile than it is to be trans. Purrs @NewPerspectives Replying to @NewPerspectives : If americans actually thought all trans people were pedos then they would treat trans people better than they do currently, since pedos get out of jail free and become the president of the country. Pedophilia is acceptable by wider society, being trans is not
