Several Alabama politicians say they are concerned about children’s safety at Huntsville’s Space Camp after a parent complained about the presence of a transgender employee.
U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville and Reps. Dale Strong and Robert Aderholt posted statements on X, formerly known as Twitter, after a parent posted on Facebook complaining about the gender identity of one of the U.S. Space and Rocket Center employees. The topic was also picked up by the Libs of TikTok account.
Media refuses to identify what religion those people are.
Maybe later tonight I will go on Facebook and find out who complained. Give them a call at work tomorrow.
I’m extremely concerned that this article implies we are allowing people from alabama to interact with science. Sure, they need access to basic science things like fire, and electricity (questionable if they should be allowed to use breakers), but what if an understanding of critical thought, and accidentally reading the bible unsupervised, causes unexpected outcomes.
To be fair I am also concerned about children’s safety in Alabama, for a multitude of reasons and non has to to with transgender people.
“I don’t hate these people, man,” Yarbrough said.
Oh, but you do, buddy. You do.
That’s textbook transphobia there, they are literally afraid of a trans person for no reason
Firing an employee for being transgender would be such a slam dunk of a discrimination/wrongful termination lawsuit. Easy fucking money.
LGBT+ are not actually a protected class in a lot of states. They kind of get covered by gender protections, but not completely, so I can definitely see this happening with no legal consequences.
Section 508 of the Social Security Act makes it illegal in all 50 states.
Fun fact, according to the supreme Court, the part of the civil rights act that protects from discrimination on grounds of your sex also protects gender identity and sexual orientation as both of these require taking the person’s sex into consideration to discriminate in the first place.
Incorrect. The Supreme Court ruled that no employee in the United States can be fired on the grounds of sexual orientation or gender identity, enshrining LGBTQ protections as part of the Civil Rights Act. The ruling occurred in 2020.
Of course, it’s Alabama
Every day I feel like I can’t possibly hate these people more and every day they show me I have a larger capacity for hate than I previously assumed.
They’re developing a facet about myself that I don’t enjoy developing.
Now imagine the unending, visceral vitriol you’d be feeling if you also happened to be transgender, and you’ll come close to understanding how I feel 24/7.
Well I think you’re beautiful being who you truly are. So fuck those other people.
I really wish people understood the psychological toll of this shit. It sucks to wake up, read the news, and be constantly reminded that a substantial amount of people hate people who are like me.
I would like to compare the number of trans people who have had an illegal relationship with a child to a straight person.
Better yet, members of the GOP
I have been searching high and low for any conservative who is a good “person”, but I cannot find even one. Not one. I think it’s possible that every conservative alive today is pure evil.
There was that one republican senator that recently made a speech calling out how he was forbidden from helping to pass the border security act because its an election year and would make Biden look good, I have some respect for him.
Respect for someone driving the country in a horrible direction, and using their vote to continue allowing Texas let asylum-seeking children drown in a river lined with razor wire because they “weren’t allowed” to vote differently, and they are consciously aware of their cowardice and dereliction of duty?
That’s not someone I would respect.
Madame President, I’m going to vote “yes” to be able to move on to this bill. So we need a change in law. I understand we have differences, but we’ve got to sit down together, figure out how we’re going to solve problems, because the American people sent us here to do that.
This is the pen that I was handed at that desk when I was sworn in to the United States Senate. And I signed a book that was at that desk with this pen because I was becoming a United States Senator. Because the people at home sent me here to get stuff done and to solve problems. There’s no reason for me to have this pen if we’re just going to do press conferences. I can do press conferences from anywhere. But we can only make law from this room. And to do that, you need one of these pens. And there’s 100 of them in this room, and 60 of us have to agree to solve a problem.
And I’m determined to sit down with anyone who wants to solve the problem, regardless of what side of the aisle that they’re on to figure out how we solve these things. Because Americans are ticked off that this is not resolved, and they expect us to get things done. So why don’t we do that?
When shitty people do good things we should still respect that good thing, it doesnt mean you have to respect everything they do or have done and to do otherwise would be doing almost the exact same thing the republicans are doing, blindly shutting down anything “the other side” does just because they are the “enemy”.
I agree about respecting and even calling attention to good work.
I’m saying that people who torpedo a bipartisan, popular solution (or at least a meaningful step towards it) who then say “I know voting against it was wrong, but what was I supposed to do, vote for it, even though I know that was the right thing to do”, aren’t good people.
I’m not shutting down people for being the “otherside” or the “enemy”. I’m shutting people down for disingenuous and cowardly ass kissing of a spray tan orange Hitler wannabe. Those aren’t qualities that we want in politics, those aren’t qualities we need in America, and those aren’t qualities anyone in the world should respect.
