This has been happening for a while, but the new fundamentalist right Queer Panic is really ramping it back up again. It&#8217;s like Saudi Arabia and the goddamn religious police in action, only, you know, it&#8217;s not a death penalty situation &#8211; yet.<\/p>\n<p>That video pretty much instantly triggered a new Mary Kaye and the Cosmetics song. They&#8217;re my all-dyke hardcore punk alt-band who play only Hello Kitty-branded instruments, and they write shit like this and My Boyfriend and Sad Muppet. I&#8217;ve worked out the lyrics and most of the chords, of which there are four.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s short and very screamy. I&#8217;m not sure I have the vocal chops for it but I&#8217;m going to try.

This time, it results in putting a $2500 bounty on trans kids in schools. <EM>I am not even making that shit up, it&#8217;s $2500 per kid per washroom break<\/em>, because as I&#8217;ve said before: these SOBs aren&#8217;t happy unless they can make queer kids as miserable and broken as possible. It&#8217;s what they <em>live<\/em> for.<\/p>\n<p>And yet, somehow, <EM>we&#8217;re<\/em> the supervillains. jfc.<\/p>\n<p>I think I&#8217;m gonna go work more on that song now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So here&#8217;s video of a cop throwing a lesbian against a wall and out of a washroom for dressing too butch, as the Gender Police start stepping up their game.
