Lauren Boebert lashes out at LGBTQ critics

,

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) defended her anti-LGBTQ rhetoric after she was widely denounced online in the wake of the Club Q shooting for stoking violence against LGBTQ people. “That is completely false,” she told Ross Kaminsky on KOA, an AM radio station. “I have never had bad rhetoric towards anyone and their personal preference as an adult.” Sexual orientation is not a “personal preference” and minors can have sexual orientations. In fact, Boebert herself got pregnant for the first time when she was in high school. This past Saturday, a shooter entered the LGBTQ bar Club Q in Colorado Springs, […]

World AIDS Day is a Day to Heal our Grief

World AIDS Day. For most, it is a global event where we honor, memorialize, and celebrate the lives of those we have lost to HIV and AIDS since the pandemic began in 1981. For me it is so much more. During those early years of the AIDS pandemic, many of us long-term survivors experienced nothing short of a catastrophic loss of life–losing friend, after lover, after friend, after lover, after friend within a very short period of time. At the height of the AIDS pandemic, there were many  of us who were attending an average of four memorials a week, […]

On World AIDS Day Remember Those We Lost and Help Those in Need By ‘Dining Out For Life’ at local Restaurants

Today is an opportunity for people worldwide to unite in the fight against HIV, to show support for people living with HIV, and to commemorate those who have died from an AIDS-related illness. Since 1983 Face to Face has been on the forefront of the AIDS crisis in Sonoma County. As we head into our 40th year we are reminded not only of those that we lost to HIV/AIDS but to all those living with HIV in our community. It is our mission to end new cases of HIV while supporting the health and well-being of those living with HIV/AIDS. Our Prevention […]

Twitter, others slip on removing hate speech, EU review says

,

Twitter took longer to review hateful content and removed less of it in 2022 compared with the previous year, according to European Union data released Thursday.  The EU figures were published as part of an annual evaluation of online platforms’ compliance with the 27-nation bloc’s code of conduct on disinformation.  Twitter wasn’t alone — most other tech companies signed up to the voluntary code also scored worse. But the figures could foreshadow trouble for Twitter in complying with the EU’s tough new online rules after owner Elon Musk fired many of the platform’s 7,500 full-time workers and an untold number of contractors responsible for content […]

25 Gay Men Could Have Been Killed by Indiana Serial Killer

 Bones found in the 1990s on Fox Hallow Farms in Westfield are linked to Herb Baumeister, the man largely considered Indiana’s most prolific serial killer. In 1996, authorities found only 11 DNA profiles among the bones and identified eight of the men. Now, that total of DNA profiles could rise to about 25 men with new testing of the bones. Jeff Jellison, who takes office in January as the new Hamilton County coroner, said DNA technology has advanced, and it is time to identify the rest of the men. “The search produced more than probably 10,000 bones and bone fragments,” […]

Washington DC praised for signing ‘most comprehensive’ trans and abortion sanctuary bill in US

The mayor of Washington DC has won applause from activists after signing a “comprehensive” trans and abortion sanctuary bill. Democratic mayor Muriel Bowser signed act 24-0808, better known as the “Human Rights Sanctuary Amendment Act”, on 21 November. The amendment, shared on Twitter by trans activist Erin Reed, aims to uphold various rights to those who are either transgender or wish to have an abortion within the region. “They can’t use ANY means to enforce anti-trans and anti-abortion laws against people fleeing states,” Reed said in a tweet. “No cops, no jails, no warrants, no subpoenas, not even ink to paper.” The […]
