Trans people exist.

Because it's based on bigotry and homophobia and transphobia, among other things.

The Gawker commentary is awful, especially on anything race-related. If you’re thinking what I think you’re thinking then I agree with you.

Don't forget; Liberty Counsel represents Kim Davis and has shown they will go to the ends of the earth to pursue their agenda. That could lead to a lot of legal fees for the school just to defend against these assholes.

They’re not just complaining about the reading of the book, they’re complaining about what they think the school is going to do going forward to encourage acceptance of this transgender student. it’s basically a shot across the bow - if you don’t yield to our demands about your future activities (which have not even…

I spend a lot of time thinking about the children and they need the truth about the world in age appropriate ways. Protecting them from terrible or difficult things does not help them. In fact, it can hurt them.

Doesn’t matter. They know that the threat alone is usually enough to silence those whom they oppose, since — as was pointed out upthread — the school district likely couldn’t afford any lawsuit, whether they prevail or not. This is how litigious bullies of the fascist right win, and there’s unfortunately not much a…

If you have the money, you can do whatever you feel like even if it’s very stupid. Schools are known for evading legal action at any cost. It’s why I nearly got suspended for hugging someone in 1st grade. Apparently if I didn’t get punished, someone could start a legal battle over it or something.

I should be able to sue Texas school districts for teaching only abstinence in sex education if this is how lawsuits work.

What the hell? Why not just have your kid sit out if you are so scared of a little inclusive education? Why force your prejudice on everyone else?

It is the best news!

The Liberty Council, huh?

Those goddamn videos. They are nothing but lies. Now, those videos are getting people killed because people believe them.

I feel like Peele might be one of the few comedians who would actually be an awesome partner. Most of them are so funny, but it’s really more a coping strategy for darkness, and/or they’re very insistent on being the center of attention at all times (I get the feel that, as amazing and hot as Key is, for example, he’d…

The Colorado Springs tragedy is domestic terrorism, especially for those us in the pro-life movement.

Absolutely appalling

He said nothing and that is not what we deserve for president. We don’t deserve an idiot that is informed about a mass shooting and doesn’t even react.

I know that Gawker now wants to cover politics but I also know that all of us readers of Jezebel prefer to read about shity GOP candidates not even reacting to this shooting at The Slot.
