In recent years, we've seen significant strides in the fight for LGBTQ+ rights and equality. From marriage equality to anti-discrimination protections, there has been a gradual acknowledgment and acceptance of the diverse spectrum of human identities and orientations. However, amidst this progress, there looms a troubling trend: the systematic removal of LGBTQ+ rights by Republican religious extremists.
These extremists who are wielding their religious beliefs as sword and shield are on a mission to erase the hard-won rights of the LGBTQ+ community. Their tactics are insidious, aiming to push LGBTQ+ people back into the closet by dehumanizing and villainizing them. They cloak their bigotry in the guise of religious freedom, using faith as a weapon to justify discrimination and oppression.
What's particularly ironic is that these same exact same people scream about limited government. Yet, when it comes to matters of personal autonomy and equality, they eagerly wield the power of the government to control and punish those who don't conform to their narrow worldview. It's blatant hypocrisy.
Denying people equal rights based on religious beliefs is bigotry. It's a betrayal of the principles of equality and justice that should form the foundation of any democratic society. Love is love, and who you choose to love should never be subject to the approval of state legislatures, especially should not based on their religious beliefs.
That's why it's more crucial than ever to push back and resist this assault on LGBTQ+ rights. We cannot stand idly by as our fellow citizens, our families, our parents, ourselves, or our children are stripped of dignity and humanity. It's time to make our voices heard and show unwavering support for the LGBTQ+ community.
That's why we're proud to introduce our new line of merchandise: "Love Who You Want." These t-shirts, tank tops, hoodies, mugs, and notebooks serve as a powerful statement of solidarity and defiance. They declare that who consenting adults fall in love with is nobody else's business—certainly not the business of state legislatures who seek to impose their discriminatory beliefs on others.

It's about more than just clothing and accessories; it's about standing up for what's right and refusing to be complicit in injustice. By proudly wearing or using these items, you're sending a message of acceptance and inclusivity. You're telling the world that love knows no bounds and that everyone deserves the freedom to love openly and authentically.
But our fight doesn't end with merchandise. We must also actively work to challenge discriminatory laws and policies, support LGBTQ+ organizations and causes, and educate others about the importance of equality and respect for all individuals, regardless of their orientation or identity.
Together, we can create a world where LGBTQ+ people are celebrated for who they are, rather than condemned for who they love. We CAN overcome the forces of bigotry and hatred. After all, love is love, and it's time to spread that message far and wide.
