The twitter account of Daily Citizen has been banned. Daily Citizen is the news site of the Christian organisation Focus on the Family.
Daily Citizen tweeted on January 19th about the President’s appointment of a transgender woman to Assistant Secretary for Health at the Department of HHS.
The tweet read: “Dr. Levine is a transgender woman, that is, a man who believes he is a woman.”
Twitter wrote to Daily:
“Hi The Daily Citizen, your account, @FocusCitizen has been locked for violating the Twitter Rules. Specifically for: Violating our rules against hateful conduct. You may not promote violence against, threaten, or harass other people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, or serious disease.”
Daily argued that they were defining what “transgender woman” meant, and pointed out many other people and organisations had done the same. In a statement they wrote:
“Numerous outlets reported on Levine’ appointment – including President Biden’s White House – noting Dr. Levin’s transgender identification,” the letter reads. “Many of the articles and tweets explained that Dr. Levin was born male, believed he is really a woman, had surgery and opposite-sex hormones, and now identifies as a woman.”
“Our tweet does not promote violence against, threaten, or harass Dr. Levine,” it continued. “Yet, we are deeply puzzled about how it was misconstrued. We simply explained to our readers the appointment and defined what transgender women are – those born male who believe they are a woman, regardless of whether they have had opposite-sex hormones or surgeries.”

Gay rights advocates in San Francisco are regrouping to broaden their fight. They seek to ban therapy, focused on converting teens with feelings of gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender issues to straight feelings, into other regions and States.
California is the first State in the nation to sign this kind of bill into law. California Governor Jerry Brown has labelled this kind of therapy as “quackery” with “no basis in science or medicine”.
Currently this ban applies only to therapists who are licensed and not to ministers or other lay people.
Some Christian legal groups are planning on fighting this in federal court.
California Governor Jerry Brown has signed into law a ban on gay-to-straight therapy which focuses on minors.
This therapy is also called “conversion therapy” which seeks to change a person’s feelings away from an LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) orientation.
The American Psychiatric Association says that these types of therapies do more harm than good and cite their research showing those who have been subjected to it have an increased risk of suicide, anxiety, depression and other self-destructive type behaviors.
In signing the law Governor Brown stated “This bill bans nonscientific ‘therapies’ that have driven young people to depression and suicide,”.

SAN FRANCISCO – This last Monday, LGBT (Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender) activists prevented the San Francisco Supervisors Committee from continuing business. That business was to approve a permit for another business to replace a business that shut down 3 months ago.
The problem, the new business is not gay.
The old business, the Eagle Tavern. The Eagle Tavern has been a hub of sorts for the Folsom Street Fair and its openly displayed sensuality. Many politicians hoping to win the gay vote have also made the Eagle Tavern an obligatory stop.
Openly homosexual Supervisors Scott Wiener and David Campos added their agreement.
