The opinion published by the NYT mention the intolerance from religious communities. And references the author's involvement in the Reformation Project, which is a christian group that aims to be inclusive of gay, bi, trans people.
It seems like they're trying to make LGBT people more chrurch-friendly by silencing queerness. Rather than making the church more queer friendly.

Its terf arguments without saying it out loud. And they want to do it with each letter as they all get peeled away. Trans and enbys are the easy ones cause the straights think theyre icky and confusing. Then the bisexuality cause sigh they just need to make up their minds, amiright? The gays go next cause lesbians are hot, but two men kissing makes me feel a certain kind if way that i am not ready to deal with. Finally the lesbians are thrown into the kitchen because by then the christofascists have taken over, and a handmaids tale won't be fiction any more.
Proudly queer trans woman here.
The same paper that invented the October 7 mass rape narrative? Or had a Berlin office claiming that Hitler was A-ok to the Jews in 1938?
Because they are owned by the wrong people.
what's the queer equivalent of Uncle Tom?
Log Cabin Republicans (LCR) is an organization of LGBT members of the Republican Party and straight allies who work to increase inclusion within the party, and to voice Republican values among the LGBT community.^[2]^ LCR has over 30 chapters from about half of the states and the District of Columbia.
Quick facts Abbreviation, Formation ...
LCR began in 1977 during opposition to an anti-gay ballot initiative in California, defeated in 1978. The organization has endorsed or withheld endorsement of Republican presidential candidates based on perceived agreement on varying issues regarding equality and inclusion.
Log Cabin Republicans filed a federal lawsuit against the Don't Ask, Don't Tell (DADT) government policy, which went to trial in 2010. The presiding judge ruled in favor of LCR in September, finding the policy unconstitutional, though the decision was vacated a year later after DADT was repealed in December 2010.
LCR has no official position regarding abortion, believes in a strong national defense, and supports national equality for transgender people, with some "guardrails". In the 2020s, several state chapters took positions against transgender rights, which brought criticism from broader advocacy and rights groups. Other critics say LCR is too centrist regarding party principles. More recent criticism involves LCR's continued support for President Trump after his administrations' actions against certain rights for transgender people.
Thank you!
I’m ignorant, and I hope someone can clue me in: what does “queer” actually mean in this context? The dictionary is useless.
Not a conservative gay I believe. Too left to be respectable.
So, in general, queer people are cool and don’t want to take away the rights of others.
It sounds to me like this, overall, is actually a good thing. Conservatives are beginning to acknowledge that they have lost their fight against “sexual deviance” as a whole, and are now reduced to arguing about what kinds of sexual orientation are acceptable. Let them play their word games.
no its not a good thing theyre trying to erode acceptance of queerness in general. right now theyre making an exception for gay people, but that is temporary. in time they will stop making that exception.
We won’t let them. They’ll just lose again.
