A Texas judge on Friday temporarily blocked state Attorney General Ken Paxton from forcing an LGBTQ+ advocacy group to hand over information about transgender children receiving gender-affirming medical care.
The ruling came just one day after PFLAG National went to court to try to stop Paxton’s office from getting the information.
Travis County District Court Judge Maria Cantú Hexsel said in an order that providing the information would harm PFLAG and its members in several ways, including violating their rights of free speech, association and protection from unreasonable searches. Additionally, the judge said, it would be a “gross invasion” of privacy.
I cite the old saying, The Left falls in love, and the Right falls in line.
One person is going to get upset by book bans and focuses on that. Another beams in on LGBTQ+, while another is working on the environment.
Meanwhile, whatever issue is paramount to the Right, they know exactly who they are going to be voting for in November.
The GOP is about winning elections, and if they can distract us, they are winning.
Damn right, I say it all the time myself.
I just wanted to point out that there’s no direct link to donation money and campaign funds, and it’s only a part of the bigger picture of the strategy - the time and energy wasted, the infighting amongst leftists, and the unification of their voting bloc.
It’s why I always advocate for people to vote in local politics. Because Republicans sure do, and so much of this stuff starts at a local level and needs to be stopped at a local level long before it gets to the presidential race. They’re the ones voting people to school boards to ban books from schools and such. We need to stomp it out at the source rather than fighting fires after they’re already started.
