#LGBTQ+ kids deserve to feel loved and accepted. Thank you to @LGBTEqCaucus @RepSeanMaloney & @RepTedLieu who stand with us in the mission to #DefundConversionTherapy nationwide and #ImagineEquality for our LGBTQ+ youth 🌈
@LGBTEqCaucus @RepSeanMaloney @RepTedLieu @DanReynolds @tylerinacoma @tedlieu Banning conversion therapy is so important because the harmful practice can lead to:
❌ Depression
❌ Self-hatred
❌ Substance abuse
We can stop this! Our #LOVELOUD family @DanReynolds @tylerinacoma and @Carmen_Carrera are on the Hill today advocating for our #LGBTQ+ youth.
@LGBTEqCaucus @RepSeanMaloney @RepTedLieu @DanReynolds @tylerinacoma @tedlieu @Carmen_Carrera Conversion therapy is only banned in 19 states - most recently in Utah, in large part due to the work of our incredible partners in @EqualityUtah.

This is really starting to piss me off. #Trudeau literally created the most diverse cabinet in the history of #Canada, giving #POC the highest jobs in the country. He’s welcomed #Syrian refugees, he’s increased funding to #Indigenous people, he’s marched with #LGBTQ in #Pride...
...Parades. He’s supported #women’s rights, stood with #feminists & created the most gender balanced cabinet in the history of this country. His record on #humanrights, #multiculturalism & #diversity speaks a feck of a lot louder than some 20 year old photos. Wake up #canada!...
This is not #racism it is character assassination plain & simple. Don’t believe me? Look at Scheer’s record on #multiculturalism, #diversity & #inclusion. Look at the #whitenationalists, #bigots & #racists running in his campaign & ask yourself why they got a pass & JT doesn’t...

I have an anxiety disorder, which manifests in a lot of ways. But a central component is that I am very hard on myself. A lot. (thread ⬇️)
Ie: if I was smarter, (x) would've happened instead of (y). If I was a better person, I wouldn't have done (z). I'm constantly measuring myself. And when I've decided I don't pass muster, I feel pain. Self hatred. Shame.
This line of thinking basically funnels into only one possible acceptable path: be perfect. If you're perfect - the anxiety seems to say - I'll leave you alone.

#PrideMonth #AbolishTheRegistry Fact 4:

So far we've seen how the SOR (Sex Offender Registry) is made up of 25% kids and more than 33% persons of color, but what about LGBTQ?

Why -is- this a pride month series?

Turns out the SOR is -also- a tool to attack #LGBTQ persons...
>>>
#PrideMonth #AbolishTheRegistry Fact 4 p1:

To understand how #LGBTQ are put at risk by the SOR, we must first understand "Romeo & Juliet" laws.

In short, R&J laws are a state-decided ruleset that protects teenage couples when one partner becomes an adult before the other.
>>>
#PrideMonth #AbolishTheRegistry Fact 4 p2:

Sounds fair and reasonable, right? I mean, R&J laws exist in half of the US.

Not exactly.

Firstly, consider the name: "Romeo & Juliet".

The law protecting teens from the SOR is named after an iconic cis-gender, straight couple.

Last year, I did an interview with @MikeTheJourno about the GSA battle in the 2017 school board election. You can read that article here: dailyxtra.com/how-edmonton-b… #ableg #abvote #abed
At the end of the article, I mused: Will the UCP [United Conservative Party] include a repeal of the bill in their platform, or have we finally moved past this?”

It's quite clear now that we haven't.
And I don't really know why any party wants to re-fight this battle again during the provincial election, especially with how decisive the results were in #yegvote and how badly their proxy candidates lost on the issue.

I rarely make reference to religion here beyond noting the extreme hypocrisy permeating the evangelical Christian movement's support of @realDonaldTrump.

But next month @UMChurch will make a decision with far reaching implications and I feel compelled to comment.

1/
In January 2017 the General Conference of the United Methodist Church appointed a 32 member body called the 'Commission on a Way Forward' to examine the church's official policies regarding the $LGBTQ community.

The Commission studied the issue for a year.

@UMChurch

2/
In March of 2018 they issued their findings. Their report was made public and handed over last year to the Council of Bishops for examination who spent weeks examining and considering its content.

For some background on the Commission:

Benefits of having three kids #1:
Absolutely noone (family & others) gives unprompted parenting advice anymore (probably because they gave up).
Benefits of having three kids #2:
Being able to say (in theory) things like: “well, *some* of my kids play Golf”
Benefits of having three kids #3:
Being able to switch from man to zone defense at home.
