The institutional left senses that its dominance over our societal mores faces a sudden and unexpected challenge. It is responding with predictable derangement.
The Human Rights Campaign (HRC), a powerful and well-funded left-wing advocacy group, declared a “national emergency” for “LGBTQ+” people on June 6.
“LGBTQ+ Americans are living in a state of emergency. The multiplying threats facing millions in our community are not just perceived—they are real, tangible, and dangerous,” HRC’s president, Kelley Robinson, said in a press release.
“In many cases, they are resulting in violence against LGBTQ+ people, forcing families to uproot their lives and flee their homes in search of safer states, and triggering a tidal wave of increased homophobia and transphobia that puts the safety of each and every one of us at risk.”
Just over two months ago, a person who was “identified” as transgender engaged in a mass shooting at a Christian school in Nashville, Tennessee. The Human Rights Campaign had nothing to say about the targeting and killing of Christians in that case, despite a clear increase in attacks on churches in the past few years. Most of the media pivoted to explaining how a terrorist attack on Christians is really a threat to the LGBTQ+ community.
The Biden administration followed suit.
If the Human Rights Campaign is worried about violence, maybe it should say something about incidents like this:
"One day, somebody is going to shoot you in the head."

The evidence that the group has produced to prove its case of an LGBTQ+ “national emergency” was that many states passed bans on so-called gender-affirming care for children, prohibited gender-neutral restrooms, and prevented biological males from competing in female sports.
Most of these laws are broadly popular.
That, of course, is the real crisis for the Human Rights Campaign.
The “crisis” is that the American people will pass laws limiting the group’s demands on society and that the laws will be widely accepted.
