But Trump’s FCC has decided that this system is no longer working for them. Last month, they released a public notice announcing that they would like to force the TVOMB to change their ratings. Why?
“Recently, parents have raised concerns that controversial gender identity issues are being included or promoted in children’s programs without providing any disclosure or transparency to parents. Specifically, the industry guidelines that parents rely on are rating shows with transgender and gender non-binary programming as appropriate for children and young children, and doing so without providing this information to parents, thereby undermining the ability of parents to make informed choices for their families.”
That’s right: parents somewhere are scared of their children simply seeing TV shows with transgender and nonbinary people or characters, and so now the federal government is stepping in to protect them by forcing the industry to adopt trigger warnings.
Fair enough except it’s the opposite and you’re saying you still won’t.
Okay. Then you won’t. That’s what we have now. Why that should be the desired direction escapes me, but - okay.
We all want the perfect candidate. We’re all not going to get it. Whatever candidate we do get is going to be better than the alternative. Electing the better choice is such basic common sense, it’s just baffling anyone would argue against it but, here we are.
Here we are watching the party with the most votes call LGBTQ “obscene”.
Oh, I’ve been getting emails from the LA LGBT Center about Newsom refusing to fund gender affirming healthcare within the state because they simply got bored and made it up?
If you have no idea about what is going on politically in a state maybe don’t try to explain it to someone who lives there. And if you want a candidate to not be relentlessly criticized by queer people then pick one that isn’t actively courting bigots and blocking LGBTQ legislation.
