You don’t need a seat at the table of the liberal establishment to make a difference. You just need the guts to serve as an inspiration to others. You might own a hair salon in Traverse City, Michigan:

“If a human identifies as anything other than a man/woman, please seek services at a local pet groomer,” Christine Geiger wrote disparagingly on a since-deleted Facebook page. “You are not welcome at this salon. Period.”

“This is America; free speech. This small business has the right to refuse services,” she added.

This is America to the extent we stand up for inalienable rights like free speech and freedom of association.

Geiger, who owns Studio 8 Hair Lab, appeared to be responding to a Michigan house bill that would expand the state’s hate-crime law to include harassment or intimidation on the basis of gender identity or sexual orientation.

“Harassment or intimidation” are to be determined by the alleged victims. After the state’s cartoonishly tyrannical Disney witch of a governor signs the bill into law, remarks like Geiger’s will constitute a felony in Michigan, as will literally any statement the Alphabet People regard as unsupportive of their lifestyle and ideology.

Already the fist of Big Government is poised to crash down on her:

Geiger’s comments … were condemned by a spokesman for Michigan attorney general Dana Nessel. “The Attorney General finds the comments to be hateful, reprehensible remarks,” the spokesman told the Independent, adding that Geiger is likely to face legal consequences.

When it comes to suppressing free speech, turn to the experts at the ACLU:

Nathan Triplett, president of the Michigan ACLU, explained on Twitter that Geiger is in violation of the state’s Elliot-Larsen Civil Rights Act, which was recently amended to also prohibit discrimination based on gender identity and sexual orientation.

The same sort of corporate moonbats who thought it was a good idea to put Dylan Mulvaney’s face on Bud Light cans also want to punish her:

On Wednesday, hair product manufacturer Jack Winn Pro withdrew its products from Geiger’s salon, writing in a statement that it “reject[s] hate speech in any form” and that Geiger “no longer has authorization to represent our brand or products.”

The leftist Gorgons on The View have set to work whipping up the mob against her:

Goldberg, 67, said ‘you can’t make fun and say rude stuff about people’ in reference to the controversial comment by salon owner Christine Geiger.

Or at least, you can’t about special people. Not unless you have a lot of nerve — which will be required to prevent the country from continuing to slide into straightforward tyranny.

If you thought nothing could lower your opinion of New York Mayor Eric Adams, think again:

That must be why New York City has spent over $200,000 of taxpayer money on drag queen story hours.

The only point of presumably homosexual men dressed as hypersexualized parodies of women reading “inclusive” stories to children is to groom them for induction into the exceedingly unhealthy LGBT lifestyle. If all goes as hoped, not only will kids be rendered vulnerable to pedophiles, they will have their bodies grotesquely and irreversibly deformed.

No reason to single out Adams. The entire Democratic Party is pushing the homosexualization and transsexualization of children. For example, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel proclaims that there should be “a drag queen for every school”:

Nessel made the comments during a civil rights summit in Lansing, Michigan, on Wednesday.

Nessel is the first openly gay person voted into statewide office in Michigan.

“Drag queens make everything better. Drag queens are fun,” she is quoted as saying by Detroit News reporter Craig Mauger.

This goes all the way to the top. The child-fondling creep in the White House just signed an executive order promoting the transsexualization of children — including sexual deformation that would have made Josef Mengele scream in horror:

The executive order will address the slew of Republican legislation banning transgender surgeries for minors and biological males from girls’ spaces — legislation dubbed by the Biden administration as “legislative attacks against LGBTQI+ children and families.”

Actually, the twisted concept of homosexual and transsexual children is an attack on children, whose innocence is respected by everyone except sex criminals, satanists, and Democrats. The concept of family is also under attack.

It will also “crack down” on conversion therapy, which the Biden administration describes as “a discredited and dangerous practice that seeks to suppress or change the sexual orientation or gender identity of LGBTQI+ people,” ordering HHS [the Department of Health and Human Services] to “explore guidance to clarify that federally-funded programs cannot offer so-called ‘conversion therapy.’”

If you attempt to dissuade children from sexual perversion or from believing that they are a member of the opposite sex, you have committed the thought crime of “conversion therapy.”

Notably, the order will specifically charge HHS to “work with states to promote expanded access to gender-affirming care.”

“Gender-affirming” is Orwellese for “gender-denying.” More specifically,

Gender affirming care is a phrase used by transgender activists and media that includes the more grisly sounding transgender top and bottom surgeries, such as removing a biological women’s breasts, removing a biological man’s genitals, sculpting a fake penis on a biological woman, facial feminization or facial masculinization, and more.

That and chemical castration with hormones are what liberals support when they support the transsexualization of children.

Democrat politicians and propagandists pretend that offering up kids as human sacrifices to LGBT ideology prevents them from committing suicide. Unsurprisingly, “gender-affirming” crimes against nature actually have the opposite effect.

No one should try to reach a compromise position with these people. We can only fight them with everything we have, and pray we are forgiven for letting them take power.
