George Washington and the Continental Army were not doing so well until a
German gay man, Baron Von Stuben showed up to help. Washington never
lost a battle after that.
In WW II allied shipping was going to the bottom of the Atlantic in huge #s
because of German U-boats but a gay man (along with many others) Alan
Turing, helped to build one of the 1st computers that allowed the allies to
break the German coded messages sent to the U-boats which shortened the
war and saved God only knows how many lives.
BTW Turning committed suicide post WW II because he was being prosecuted
for breaking British sodomy laws.
This picture makes me smile.

Republicans blocked that study. I dealt with some MAGA Trumpers on election day
in 2020 and some were really bottom of the barrel nasty shits.

And Patriot Front wasnt the only white nationalist group in attendance; the Groypers, a white nationalist group led by Nick Fuentes, who is being investigated over the role he is alleged to have played in the Jan. 6 insurrection, also attended, donning crucifixes and America First flags.
Lets be real: Patriot Front and other white nationalists groups dont crash the March for Lifes party. They show up because the March for Lifes message resonates with them.

Part of his punishment to avoid prison was to agree to hormone treatments. The theory back in those days was that they could "cure" someone who was gay by giving them the opposite sex hormones their body normally made. Of course now we know that's absurd - what they did instead was induce strong dysphoria in him. Certainly gender dysphoria as his breasts grew, as he was gay not trans. But also, sex hormones co-regulate serotonin, and serotonin is our most basic regulating hormone. If the the sex hormone circulating in the body doesn't match the receptors, nothing feels or works right. Immune, autoimmune, hunger, thirst, mood & emotions, sleep, sensory, digestion...the list goes on. That he committed suicide as a result tends to surprise few trans people who've gone through it at & after puberty.

(70,489 posts)BTW as a straight man I came to grips with "the gay problem" many years ago. I don't have
sex with men. "Problem" fixed.
I wonder how many of those Y'all Qaeda Patriot Front Men have deep set homosexual urges because
in my 60+ years going around the sun I have found that in many cases the more men complain about
"gay stuff" the more likely they are to be gay or screaming closet cases.
