WWW.LGBTQNATION.COMNancy Mace bluntly declares herself a proud transphobeRep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) has described herself as a proud transphobe, continuing her crusade to be the most anti-trans member of Congress. She made her comment while denying a recent Advocate articles claim that shes considering quitting Congress to run for her states governorship.The articles headline, which she screenshot and shared on X, read, Nancy Mace considers quitting Congress to take her transphobia statewide in South Carolina. In response, Mace wrote, FALSE: I am not quitting Congress. TRUE: Proud transphobe. Related Nancy Mace thanks Trump for fighting to release Epstein files even though hes doing exact opposite Its unclear whether Mace is trying to deceive her followers or herself. Mace had toldFox Newslast Friday that she was definitely leaning towards running for governor next year and had said, There are a lot of reasons to do that, claiming that gender-bending ideology had overtaken her states colleges and universities and adding, I want to protect women and kids.Mace also recently spewed transphobic lies at a Politics and Eggs breakfast event inNew Hampshire, stating, They want men in our locker rooms. They want men showering next to our 12-year-old daughters. And they think men can get pregnant. Im just here to say the biological truth is not that. She also falsely alleged that the National Institutes of Health spent $26 million to create transgender mice (a lie she has repeated in the past).

Subscribe to our Newsletter today FALSE: I am not quitting Congress.TRUE: Proud transphobe. pic.twitter.com/dZ9EtnIHRg Nancy Mace (@NancyMace) July 30, 2025 Maces declaration isnt surprising. The growing anti-trans sentiment in the country is leading to more overt displays of transphobia, and Mace has long been at the forefront of this trend.She has previously referred to herself as a Full TERF (an acronym for trans-exclusionary radical feminist) and has a long and proud history of demonizing trans people. She has, in many ways, become the public face of the Republicans crusade to eradicate trans people from all aspects of civic life. When Mace first ran for a congressional seat in 2020, she ran an ad falsely accusing her opponent of passing a law requiring transgender equality in the military. During Maces 2022 reelection campaign, she falsely accused her opponent, a pediatrician, of conducting sex changes on children as young as four years old. She also lobbed transphobic slurs at a student, shouted these slurs during a speech and a House committee meeting, publicly bullieda trans influencer,was booed when discussing a trans activists genitals at a public talk, targeted two universities in her state for offering more than two gender options on certain student forms, referred to Rep. Sarah McBride (D-DE) as it and a man in a TV news appearance, and called trans people mentally ill (even though trans identity isnt considered a mental illness by any major medical or psychological association).Mace also persuaded House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) tointroduce a rule banning all trans people from using Capitol restroomsthat match their gender identity. She has startedselling anti-trans t-shirtsand saidthat its offensivethat McBride thinks shes equal to other congresswomen.She also voted against reauthorizing the Violence Against Women Actbecause it would give some protections to trans inmates.Mace voted against the Equality Act, which would ban discrimination against LGBTQ+ people at the federal level, and has a poor record on LGBTQ+ rights in Congress, getting scores of 15 and 14 out of 100 on HRCs Congressional Scorecard. Mace has alsowritten hundreds of posts on social media attacking trans people, some of which include slurs. Numerous members of Congress havecriticized Maces vile and disgusting rhetoric.Natalie Johnson, Maces former communications director, pointed out that, in March 2021, Mace posted a comment on X (then-Twitter)declaring, I strongly support LGBTQ rights. No one should be discriminated against. Religious liberty, gay rights, and transgender equality can all coexist.Subscribe to theLGBTQ Nation newsletterand be the first to know about the latest headlines shaping LGBTQ+ communities worldwide.0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 64 Visualizações 0 Anterior

WWW.LGBTQNATION.COMTrans TikToker says he transitioned from a lesbian woman to a gay manI was a lesbian woman and now Im a gay man.Thats what trans TikToker Rory, a musician with 62,000 followers on the video-sharing platform, said recently about his unique (though increasingly less common) transition journey. Related This avant-garde trans wrestling group is the antidote to toxic masculinity The standing room only spectacles are making the latent and self-loathing homoeroticism of WWE wrestling overt. I came out as a lesbian, and then I came out as non-binary, and then I came out as trans. I identified as a lesbian for a very long time. I was solid in that identity. There was no fluidity there, no interest in men, Rory told Pink News.Now there is, he added, Never Miss a Beat Subscribe to our newsletter to stay ahead of the latest LGBTQ+ political news and insights. Subscribe to our Newsletter today Now that Ive transitioned, I can date men and Im still in a queer relationship, and I dont find myself attracted to girls anymore, and I dont know if thats because then I would be in a straight relationship, he added.Im almost like, Im too queer for that.I do know a lot of trans men that like men after transitioning, and they didnt before. Its like a common pipeline that happens, he said. @r0rycity The moment I started to pass #ftm #transman #storytime original sound Rory About 28% of trans people experience a change in their sexual orientation after transitioning, which happens independently of gender-affirming care like starting hormones or getting surgery, according to a 2014 study published by PLOS One, the peer-reviewed, open-access scientific journal published by the Public Library of Science (PLOS)The researchers attributed the change in sexual orientation to factors like social or self-acceptance, or to trans peoples newfound understanding of their sexuality and their evolving relationship with their bodies.However, the orientation change could also be related to their interactions with the opposite sex, Rory suggested.Maybe there was a hatred toward men because I wanted to like, be them, Rory said, but I didnt know that for so long.Now, Rory is navigating both his own version of masculinity and others as well.Some people would meet me and when they realize Im trans, or if they find out or they knew before, theyre like, Oh why do you act feminine? Im like, Oh, well, because Im like, gay. Some people in their heads, theyre like, If you wanted to be a man, why are you not being their version of a man? And that is what some trans people think, as well.Dealing with those preconceptions is a fact of life for trans people, Rory says, but manifesting his own self-image outwardly has been an important part of his transition.In his latest TikTok post, he shared the moment he knew everything had changed on his own journey from identifying as a lesbian woman to coming out as a trans man. He passed at a rail station bathroom.The moment I knew I was starting to pass as a trans man was the moment I went to go to the womens toilets. Because like up until the point I started to pass, I obviously wasnt going to the mens toilets, like I dont feel comfortable doing that, he said. Anyway, I head to the toilets, and I was at the station, and there was a security man standing outside, and he was like, Excuse me! The mens toilet is that way! My boyfriend was there, and I was likeRory gave a big thumbs up, and a smile spread across his face.Subscribe to theLGBTQ Nation newsletterand be the first to know about the latest headlines shaping LGBTQ+ communities worldwide.0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 70 Visualizações 0 Anterior

WWW.PRIDE.COM10 gay moments from the 'Twinless' trailer that have us sweating with anticipationMonths ago, Teen Wolf star Dylan OBriens upcoming film, Twinless, set the internet ablaze after the films hot and heavy gay sex scene leaked following its Sundance Festival premiere in February.OBrien stars as Roman as he navigates life without his twin brother. At a support group for twins who have lost their siblings, he encounters Dennis, played by James Sweeney, who also wrote and directed the movie.As Roman and Dennis get to know each other, they become inseparable outside the group as they search for solace and an identity without their other halves, according to a press release for the film.However, after meeting Dennis co-worker, Marcie (Aisling Franciosi), all is revealed to be not what it seems, as each man harbors secrets that could unravel everything.The film also stars Gilmore Girls alum Lauren Graham as Lisa, mother to Roman and his twin brother, Rocky, who is going through her own grieving process throughout the storyline.After dazzling critics who praised the films dark, inventive comedy, Lionsgate set an official release for September 5 so we can finally all see what the fuss is about.The trailer also captures the lighthearted humor in the first half, then teases some of its darker tones in the second. Scroll through for our initial reaction, and be sure to check out the full trailer after!Dylan OObrian looks amazingWe love how he looks without a shirt, and we cant wait to see what started the conversation around the sex scene.I like balls.The first time Roman and Dennis meet, Dennis is eating a cookie at the meeting, and Roman warns him not to eat it, saying it tastes like balls. Dennis responds by saying he likes balls to insinuate flirtation, then responds accordingly when he tastes how bad the cookie actually is in a totally adorable (and relatable) situation.Queer love with understandingWhile Roman and Dennis are getting to know each other, Roman pauses for a moment, gives Dennis a longing stare, and says, You get me. Cue gay hearts melting everywhere.You should meet this gay guy...When Roman mentions introducing Dennis to a gay man he knows, Dennis jokes by comparing being Asian to meaning he has a lot of Asian friends. Sure feels like Roman was really crushing and using this as a deflection, though!Couple's costumeThe scene of Dennis and Roman showing up in a couple's costume cosplaying the Sims is basically all we need to know to be sure were going to fall in love with this duo.Gym sex?Whatever is going on with these two at the gym is everything we hope we see every time we go to the gym. Were equally intrigued and jealous!Feeding each other marshmallows?!I mean, come on. How cute is it when two men stuff each others faces with marshmallows and essentially play an adult version of Chubby Bunny?So much gay longingIt seems like both characters in the movie experience some form of gay longing for each otherwhich we assume builds the tension toward that scene.Wait how graphic will that scene be?Why do we have a feeling were getting ourselves in deeper than we thought? (Not that going deeper is a bad thing)Together or separate?As cute as it seems, this also looks like a really stressful will they/wont they situation that might break our hearts.Plus, we get two of our girl crushes at once!We get Lauren Graham and Tasha Smith from Survival of the Thickest in the same film? How did we get so lucky?The less you know, the betterA review from The New York Post during the trailer says, the less you know, the better during the tonal shift, and it just adds to the drama and mystery of it all. What looks to be a sweet rom-com of two lost men exploring grief together turns into a film about exploring the limits of human emotions and the secrets we keep.We just hope the hype, the reception, and the trailer actually live up to themselves. Most of the reviews talk about the twists and turns, and we love a good movie that keeps us guessing the whole way.Plus, were always here for a good gay sex scene.Check out the trailer below:0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 67 Visualizações 0 Anterior

WWW.PRIDE.COMWNBA Legend Candace Parker says the All-Star game was so bad that 'I can't watch this'Former WNBA legend Candace Parker is not holding back in her brutally honest review of the 2025 All-Star game.Parker and Indiana Fever star Aliyah Boston launched the debut episode of their new podcast Post Moves on Wednesday, and quickly got into a debate about the player using the WNBA All-Star Game as a platform to make a statement about their unfair pay.Amid contract negotiations, the All-Star players took to the court wearing Pay Us What You Owe Us T-shirts, a bold move that Parker said would have had more of an impact had the women played a tough game instead of having fun with it.Yall cant come out there with those shirts of Pay Us What You Owe Us and then do that in the All-Star Game, Parker said.- YouTubeDuring the All-Star weekend, the WNBA players' association sat down to negotiate a new Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) where the pro ballers were hoping to increase their pay, considering WNBA players receive a 9% revenue split, compared to about 50% in the NBA, Sports Illustrated reports. An All-Star Game, when we have another game in two daysI think its okay to just go out there and hoop and have some fun, Boston said. Because on Tuesday, we were back at it and we were showing once again why we deserve to get paid.Parker admitted that the players have it hard since the WNBA expanded from 40 games last season to 44 this year.Women, I understand that it is challenging. You all were added 4-5 games this season without compensation which is unfair, she said, but also mentioned that it would have maximized the moment of wearing the shirt along with giving the product had they played their hearts out.Parker even said that the quality of the game was so awful that she couldnt finish watching.I tried to watch the All-Star game, she admitted. Ill be honest, after one Euro step, I was like I cant. Im a fan of the WNBA, and I cant watch this."With hot takes like this, we cant wait to listen to the next episode of this podcast!0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 66 Visualizações 0 Anterior
