Did you catch the President's State of the Union speech this week?

Nah, I didn't either. I figured I'd catch the highlights later rather than subjecting myself to that man's voice for 107 minutes.

As you can imagine, this "highlight" really chapped my hide:

"No state can be allowed to rip children from their parents' arms and transition them to a new gender against the parents’ will. Who would believe that we’re even talking about this? We must ban it, and we must ban it immediately."

Raise your hand if your child or a child you know was "transitioned" against their parents' will.

No one? I thought not. BECAUSE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN.

No child is "ripped from their parents' arms" for any kind of transition - social, legal, or medical.

Trans kids are not a talking point, debate, or political pawns.

Trans kids are human beings with valid identities who deserve safety, care, and dignity.

The inaugural Parents of Pride Conference, hosted by PFLAG Los Angeles, is this Saturday, February 28th from 9:00 AM - 2:10 PM PT.

This free day-long virtual event is for parents and caregivers of LGBTQ+ children of all ages and features expert-led workshops covering Education, Support, and Advocacy - the three pillars of PFLAG's mission.

And yours truly is one of the afternoon panelists!

It's on Zoom, so anyone, anywhere can join.
