Marjorie Taylor Greene seethes at DC Pride for keeping her up: It’s today’s “Sodom & Gomorrah!”

-

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) woke up after a bad weekend’s worth of sleep this morning and complained on Twitter about how D.C. Pride revelers kept her up all night.

“These were my thoughts this morning after hearing the DC Pride events rage late into the night,” she wrote on Twitter at 10:45 a.m. today. “Sodom and Gomorrah in modern day times.”

She quoted a tweet from her congressional account that denounced the “sexualization of our children.” By linking the two statements, she apparently was trying to compare Pride to child sex trafficking.

Greene wasn’t the only person on the right outraged by the Pride festivities in D.C. Many took to social media to denounce the White House for hanging a Progress Pride flag next to American flags for their Pride celebration.

Rep Mike Johnson (R-LA) even tried to say that the Pride flag was a violation of the flag code because the American flag wasn’t higher than the Pride flag. An American flag flies higher than any other flag at the White House since there’s one on the roof, something that Johnson didn’t show in his conveniently cropped photos.

On Twitter, people mocked Greene, Johnson, and others who were upset that the nation’s capital celebrated LGBTQ+ Pride.

Prosecutors decline to charge suspect identified in alleged anti-trans mass shooting

Prosecutors in Chicago have failed to charge a suspect identified in photo lineups as the shooter who killed a trans woman and her mother in a home invasion in January . Three other victims were wounded, including two other trans women. The suspect, who remains unidentified because he hasn’t been charged, has two other pending cases in Cook County court, records reveal: a felony residential burglary count and a misdemeanor count of domestic battery. The 19-year-old suspect lives in the same apartment complex as the victims did, on Chicago’s South Side. The police report for the mass shooting details how two people “kicked in the front door and began shooting” at about 1:40 p.m. on January 23. Unique Banks, 20, and her mother Alexsandra Olmo, 43, were killed at the scene. Three other victims were hospitalized in critical condition. One witness told investigators they had seen two males running north from the courtyard building wearing green camouflage. The shooting took place on th

The ’90s “Last Call” killer trolled NYC gay bars for victims. Then police botched the investigation.

In the early 90s, as the AIDS crisis reached a fever pitch and LGBTQ+ hate crimes rose to their highest level in decades, a serial killer preyed upon New York City’s queer community.  Based on the true-crime book by Elon Green, HBO’s docuseries Last Call chronicles the story of a string of queer murders in four parts. The series deep dives into both the heinous killings and the botched investigation thereafter. To cover a case this dynamic, the filmmakers behind the series spoke to a wide swath of subjects. The episodes are stacked with interviews from LGBTQ+ activists, NYPD officials, victims’ families, and club owners, all amist the backdrop of early 90s Manhattan archival footage.  Related: Bygone no more: This ’60s film about teachers accused of lesbianism could easily take place today The “groomer” narrative is nothing new.

Conservatives were already upset about Target over its LGBTQ+-inclusive Pride collection. But now they’re angry over fake AI-generated images that show the store selling “Satanic” clothing. The images show kids wearing clothes with inverted pentagrams and goat heads and a store display with a red, goat-headed mannequin. The images were created by Facebook user Dan Reese with the AI program Midjourney, Reuters reported . A Target spokesperson told the publication that it “has never sold” the pictured items, and the items aren’t available on the store’s website.
