I just want you to know that they couldn't be more wrong. You are fine just the way you are, and, in a time when it's hard to know who stands with you, I want you to know that I stand with you, and everyone who wants to be mean shouldn't be mean around me."
Recently, the Administration for Children and Families sent letters to health departments in states and territories across the United States, requiring them to remove "all references to gender ideology"from the Personal Responsibility Education Program that provides federal funding for sex education. It's a disturbing move that mirrors how, from the 1980s through the early 2000s, the Bush administrations threatened to and did cut federal funding to states and schools that refused to teach abstinence-only sex education as part of the Purity Culture Movement.
Maja T. entered the courtroom in Budapest's District 5 on October 8, 2025 in a prisoner transport belt and handcuffs, accompanied by helmeted police officers.

In 2023, Terri Lesley was fired from her job of library system director in Campbell County, Wyoming, after 27 years on the job.

Lawler, who represents New York's 17th Congressional District, which covers Rockland and Putnam counties and parts of Westchester and Dutchess counties along the lower Hudson Valley, and chairs the Rockland County Republican Party, uploaded the statement to his reelection campaign's page on October 2.

All of these sanctimonious cunts out there who don't really sincerely give a shit, he said. If you actually give a fuck about those people and how they're living over there, there's gonna have to be these types of things to pull them in. And I will tell you, the Cheesecake Factory in Riyadh, it's incredible. It's right next to Pizza Hut and KFC, and if you want a pair of Timberlands, it's across the street next to the Marriott, catty-corner to the fucking Hilton.
"I'm watching things that I've built my career on, my life on, be crushed by President Trump," von Wilpert told The Advocate in a recent interview.

That's why I decided to jump in and fight."
"Since coming out as gay in 2021, footballer Josh Cavallo has received daily death threats and abusive messages on social media. "When I first saw these messages it broke my heart," Cavallo tells BBC Sport. "No-one wants to read things like that. "I'm trying to get better as a player and be the best I can be on the pitch, and then get put down because of who I am as a person."
"I want, very simply, to encourage the Church to continue to grow in confidence in the Gospel, to speak of the love that we find in Jesus Christ and for it to shape our actions, and I look forward to sharing this journey of faith with the millions of people serving God and their communities in parishes all over the country and across the global Anglican Communion," she said of her appointment.
I [want] to express my sincere regret for having performed under a government that continues to violate fundamental human rights. I deeply regret participating under the auspices of the Saudi government.
He didn't say it in that way, of course. People would have noticed that. Instead, he couched his self-serving philosophy in legal jargon that will fly under the radar of most people, including journalists. Here's what he said: "At some point we need to think about what we're doing with stare decisis.... [I]t's not some sort of talismanic deal where you can just say 'stare decisis' and not think, turn off the brain, right?"
"No, it's that the original version featured a gay couple getting married. But in the film's Chinese release, someone digitally altered it - quite possibly using AI - and replaced one of the men with a woman, Bloomberg reports, and the homophobic and censorious implications are irking audiences across the globe. "What's happening outside the film is even more terrifying than what's shown in it," wrote a user on the Chinese social network Weibo, as spotted by The Guardian."

Or, come in late August like me, and you might just stumble upon the local Pride march, one of the world's only Pride events to take place above the Arctic Circle. If you're used to Pride in London or Brighton Pride, Senja Pride will come as a culture shock. There's no Mariah Carey performance or gaggle of corporate sponsors, but there is a sweet community spirit, and a heartwarming reminder of why Pride is needed everywhere, but more crucially in small, rural areas.
Secretary of war Pete Hegseth has fired a navy trans healthcare specialist, Janelle Marra, after being "tipped off" by Libs of TikTok.
