** Conservatives tried to hold library books hostage. The plan blew up in their faces ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------

The bungling pair thought their scheme would work, but it had the opposite effect. And this isn't the only time recently that protests have fizzled out.

The despicable Moms for Liberty group tried to rile a community to oppose a youth support group. It backfired completely when, instead, 200 lovely people showed up ([link removed]) versus only a dozen desperate protestors.

Earlier this year in Scotland, hundreds of people showed up to sing & dance to YMCA ([link removed]) to drown out an anti-trans rally. In England, hundreds poured out in support of trans people last month, while only two protestors turned up ([link removed]) before quickly slinking away.

** Everyone has fallen in love with an Uber Eats driver who is out to “feed the gays” ([link removed])

Several queer people have gone viral lately. There was the TikToker who sang about trans skeletons ([link removed]) , comedian Rickey Thompson's warning that "If I'm nice, be nice right the f*ck back!"

Musicians have been stepping up to defend the queer community lately. Hozier took a righteous stand ([link removed]) for "human decency" this week while members of the band 1975 kissed on stage ([link removed]) in Malaysia to protest the country's anti-LGBTQ+ laws.

Last month, country singer Garth Brooks said transphobic “as**oles” aren’t welcome at his new bar ([link removed]) in Nashville.
