Mira Lazine at LGBTQ Nation:

Two Christian families in Vermont, alongside the Southern Poverty Law Center-designated hate group Alliance Defending Freedom, are suing the state after it stripped their foster care licenses over their homophobic and transphobic beliefs. “Vermont says they’re unfit to parent any child because of their traditional religious beliefs about human sexuality,” said ADF legal counsel Johannes Widmalm-Delphonse in a press release. “Vermont seems to care little about the needs of vulnerable children, much less the constitutional rights of its citizens. That’s why we’re suing them in federal court.”

The Wuoti and Gantt families filed the lawsuit along with the ADF on Tuesday, initiating a formal complaint against the state.  Vermont changed its policies regarding foster families in recent years to better support LGBTQ+ youth. It requires that foster parents are supportive of young people’s identities – such as properly gendering trans youth or allowing kids to embrace their sexual orientation.  It strictly prohibits “discrimination and bias based on a child or youth’s real or perceived sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression.”

The lawsuit argues that both families are required by their religion to misgender any foster children, stating that “a person’s sex is binary and fixed by God at conception.” It goes further in arguing that, in the case of the Gantt family, they believe that trans people must detransition and that people should not gender trans people correctly. The lawsuit also claims that Kaitlyn Wuoti had gender dysphoria as a child, leading her to be filled with “compassion” for children. Both Brian and Kaitlyn Wuoti believe that they cannot even associate with a Pride parade or those in it because “they convey a message about human sexuality that goes against their faith.”

Two Christian conservative families, the Gantts and the Wuotis-- along with far-right anti-LGBTQ+ hate group Alliance Defending Freedom-- are suing the state of Vermont over being prohibited from mistreating LGBTQ+ and trans foster children in their care.

Both the Gantts and Wuotis support the misgendering and forcing detransition of trans foster children, along with opposing LGBTQ+ identity.

was chopping potatoes for dinner last night when i had the realization that it was extremely inevitable i would become an adar and galadriel enjoyer during season 2 of rings of power considering the number of books i like enough to have a permanent spot in my brain which contain the romance dynamic of "we are fundamentally opposed enemies who deeply distrust each other but we must set aside our differences to unite against a common enemy, develop a grudging respect for each other, and then fall in love." i am predictable in my tastes but at least i know myself!

“He is not to them what he is to me,” I thought: “he is not of their kind. I believe he is of mine;—I am sure he is—I feel akin to him—I understand the language of his countenance and movements: though rank and wealth sever us widely, I have something in my brain and heart, in my blood and nerves, that assimilates me mentally to him.” Jane Eyre, XVII.

TJC Wb update 2024.02.10

[promise-keeper-papyrus]

Winter Alliance Toriel and Asgore reunited for the first peace meeting:

They barely made any progress in the first meeting...

Toriel wants to release all the human souls, decreasing the kingdom's current chances of freedom (and their hope) to free the dead children and find a better, more peaceful way to break the barrier.

Undyne, Gerson and half of the kingdom want to keep the souls and follow through on Asgore's original plan, even if it means war.

Alphys secretly doesn't know which side to be on, Asgore's or Toriel's.

Mettaton wants to be famous on the surface world.

Asgore wants to sleep forever.

They could compromise by letting Asgore keep the souls until the barrier is broken and leaving future humans alive, but Toriel and Undyne are too stubborn to compromise.

BONUS, with Papyrus and Sans arriving late to the meeting:

Papyrus wants everyone to get along again.

Sans wants to sleep forever.

i really hope i actually wrote it down somewhere.. back when i was really into the clan au i had an idea for an offshoot where giyuu goes on a escort/guard mission for a high-profile merchant that was passing thru their southern valley & ended up coming home w more shinobi than he left with

something something he was idly chatting with one of the caravan workers & instinctually launched out to catch a lady who was about to break her face on the ground. that lady was suma. cue the grateful waterworks that immediately turns to complaining about why she was running so fast she tripped, very quickly stopped when she noticed how soft the fur on his cloak was and started complimenting him on that before makio eventually showed up and dragged her off. Very Confused Giyuu left in their wake

later on a big buff guy stopped by to talk to him, tengen thanking him for helping one of his wives out that turned into a neat little conversation & an invitation to chat w the whole group sometime when hes free. giyuu ended up making friends with the quartet and found that they were Uzuis who fled their clan because they disliked the harsh training practices & what it meant for their future, so he ended up offering a spot in his clan for them. they accepted and once his mission was over they follow him back to the tomioka clan compound & yadda yadda bam theyre Tomiokas now, new clan ensemble and whatnot

[imageingrunge]

finished dai like all the way so now i gotta lot of thoughts that i must let simmer in my mind on low heat while i play DA:O...and maybe DA: II

[pumpkinspicepirates]

So the finale comes out tomorrow but we've all agreed to watch one scene at a time, one scene only every day from tomorrow until however long it takes for the episode to finish... right?
