49. Week of 1-1
Current Event - 2021 was supposed to be the ‘worst year’ for LGBTQ rights — then came 2022
So tbh I don't feel like reading the actual article so I'm just going to give my 2 cents on how this year went for gay rights. The “Don't say gay bill” was passed in florida… This added with similar bills in Texas added up for a pretty horrible year. Though it could've been worse I would like to say this was more of decline for gay rights. The “Don't say gay bill” was introduced to try to stop early education of anything to do with the LGBTQ1. This means that books that could help students better understand their sexuality were forced to be removed from school libraries. Texas had similar bill get passed that also banned such books. The “Don't say gay” bill also banned the use of perfered names and pronouns in the classroom. Texas also introduced many bills making gender affirming care child abuse. This has made people of the LGBTQ community have to flee the state due to the fact their children can no longer recieve hormone therapy and other gender affirming care. This is honestly disgusting and why I find this year to be a loss to gay rights. We also experienced an explosion in transphobic hate both from and due to Elon Musk2. He went on to make fun of pronouns and call them an esthetic nightmare. This then caused an explosion of transphobic hate as he tries to save a failing company he was forced to buy. In end Elon Musk seems to either crave attention or is trying to save his company by leaning to the right due to the fact that the left now finds him disgusting.
Though I am not well educated on what happened I though it would be good to pay respects to the Club Q shooting. May the five people who died rest in peace…

- LGBTQIA+ is an abbreviation for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning, intersex, asexual, and more. These terms are used to describe a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity. ↩
- Elon Musk is an extremely wealthy man who also happens to have extremely low emotional intelligence. He has big visionary ideas and lofty goals but lacks any hint of wisdom, prudence or tact. He may be thinking for humanity as a whole, but he certainly doesn't give a damn for humans on an interpersonal level. He is like a little kid in a playroom, with cars and rockets and a little star and space playmat, making whoosh and the cckkrkrkkhhh noises. He's also very imature and named his son after the back of his wifi router. ↩
