The protest was organized by many in the LGBTQ community in opposition to those bills, but they decided to host this protest on the 50th anniversary of the 1973 Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision and called Sunday's protest "Bigger Than Roe" to highlight the connection between abortion rights and LGBTQ rights in the fight for bodily autonomy.
"An attack against one of us is an attack against all of us. If our rights are something that can be easily stripped away for one group, it can easily happen for another group. So it's really important that we show up for one another," says Xyra Flores with Trans Queer Pueblo. The protest was against a handful of bills just proposed in the Arizona legislature that are said to be an attack on transgender people – in more ways than one.
"We see that these bills are another attempt to erase our people from existing in public really," Flores said. Some of the proposed bills they take issue with seek to put limits on where drag shows can be performed with certain zoning requirements and limited hours to avoid children from seeing them. Another argues no taxpayer dollars should be used to fund drag shows aimed at children.
First of all the children, our future, is of most importance. Let’s pretend these bills are about strip clubs… no one would be arguing about the rules/regulations about them in regards to protecting kids from seeing it. The same should be view for drag shows. NOT for kids!
What global warming due to carbon emissions a socialist produced crisis science cannot justify global warming
Why do people think anti pedophile laws are anti LGBTQ? Do they think all LGBTQ are pedophiles/groomers?
Disgusting creatures !! 🤬
This is about protecting children. PERIOD. These perverts have NO right to sexualize our kids. Case closed.
Anti LGBTQ?, Two sides to every story fox news, you forgot that in the last few years and are little different than MSNBC nowadays.
Protest and complain. That's all they do.
The brainwashing of these protesters is very apparent. Hope all the bills pass.
