How best to tell #Telegraph readers how scary #ZackPolanski is?

Before the Green Pary Leadership election results were announced, the #Torygraph's profile of #Polanski was headlined "‘Gay, vegan and lives in Hackney’. (See https://archive.is/UV8ut)

But some time after his victory was announced, the Torygraph decided that it should drop the #homophobia and go with #transphobia. So the headline was changed to 'Vegan, pro-trans and lives in Hackney'.

When he was a young man, Starmer was beaten up protecting a gay friend. But when he was a young man he was a Human Rights Lawyer, and now his government is locking up grandmas as terrorists.

The man sold out to the Establishment and the Establishment hates us Queers. If the Establishment told him to eat one of his own children, he would.

Finally:

"There is arguably no path to Trump without Dobson, and it begins with the broadcaster’s commitment to violence and ideological rigidity."

"A childhood like mine is a personal tragedy with political dimensions. Dobson served tyranny all his life, and over time, he sought to enshrine it in the highest seats of power. To him and his heirs, the American home is a laboratory; they inflict suffering in private to better reproduce it in public."

Then:

"Dobson did not hit me; my father did. But Dobson told him that he was right to hit me, that God gave him permission. That if he hit me, I would obey my parents and the Lord, and that everything would be all right because to strike a child is to love her."

And:

"Now that Dobson is dead, it is easier to see the scope of his legacy."

Sarah Jones, raised in a white evangelical household where James Dobson's books on child-rearing were prominently displayed and where her father followed Dobson's advice to beat her, opens her remembrance of Dobson by saying,

"About ten years ago, I created a Google alert so I’d know the moment James Dobson died."

Today in LGBTQ History August 1966: The Compton’s Cafeteria riot occurred in the Tenderloin district of San Francisco, in response to the constant violent police harassment of drag queens and trans women in the area. Many were sex workers, out of necessity, due to transmissic job discrimination against them in other lines of work. Compton’s was one of the few places were trans women could socialize publicly, as they were often unwelcome at gay bars, also due to transphobia. In those days, you could get arrested simply for wearing clothes of the “wrong” sex, including even just having the buttons on the “wrong” side of your shirt. Many of those involved in the riot were members of Vanguard, one of the first known gay youth organizations in the U.S. Because they refused to buy anything, management would routinely kick Vanguard members out and call the police on them, leading to a picket of Compton’s July 19, 1966, one of the first demonstrations against transphobic police harassment. One night in August, a Compton’s employee called the police on an “unruly” transwoman, who threw coffee in his face when he tried to arrest her. The cafeteria erupted, with people throwing tables, dining ware and other items at the cops and smashing windows. They hit the cops with their purses and shoes. The cops fled and called for backup. The next day, larger crowds showed up to picket Compton’s again.

August is officially Transgender History Month, in commemoration of the Compton’s Cafeteria Riot, which was first recognized by San Francisco, in 2021, and by the California state legislature in 2024.

Former player makes AFL history by coming out as bisexual

A former Aussie Rules player has come out as the first openly gay or bisexual man in the Australian Football League's (AFL) 129-year history.
Mitch Brown, who played 94 matches for the West Coast Eagles from between 2007 and 2016, told The Daily Aus that the weight of hiding his sexuality played a "huge" part in his decision to retire.

"Christian nationalism embraces a historical narrative of the United States being created by White, male, Christian, able-bodied, heterosexual capitalists. This group (and their wives and children) is believed to deserve preferential access to civil rights, social benefits, and political power."

Adelaide Crows forward Izak Rankine on Thursday became the sixth AFL player since April 2024 to be suspended for directing a homophobic slur at an opponent in a match last Saturday. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2025/08/22/more-sports/aussie-rules-football-homophobia/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #moresports #australianrulesfootball #australianfootballleague #homophobia

Du Mez notes that Christianity Today's obituary for Dobson quotes her in Jesus and John Wayne:

"'In the home, fathers disciplined children and husbands exercised authority over wives,' Du Mez wrote in Jesus and John Wayne. 'Beyond the home…the enforcement of patriarchal authority in all its facets, would occupy the heart of evangelical politics for decades to come.'”

Jemar Tisby responds to Du Mez:

"A lot of this sounds really familiar with with what we're seeing now with white Christian nationalism and the kind of society particularly the structure and the hierarchy and the patriarchy that they envision really just echoes so much of what what Dobson was putting out there."

"Just a steady steady drum beat of hierarchical authority, children to parents, harsh discipline to save their souls, patriarchal authority, men to women, these social hierarchies. ...

He was one of the key people responsible for directing the white evangelical movement to the place we are where we are nowwhite evangelical movement to the place we are where we are now."
