Eris Chase writing at the Andrew Christian blog pulls no punches in outlining the danger for all who care about freedom of speech, expression and LGBTQIA people that comes with the political right wing in America. They write "the wretched stench of a steaming pile of rotting trash, and it’s called Project 2025. A 920-page dystopian nightmare disguised as a policy proposal, it was written by an amalgamation of ultra-conservative groups who would rather see LGBTQ+ people disappear into the shadows than breathe the same air as them. It’s a bloated document full of policies targeting everything from hard-earned rights to healthcare, access to steamy content, and anything they can consider “pornography” in between. By their definition, pornography can, and if you follow the thread, will include pretty much any and all LGBTQ+ content since it isn’t representative of what they call “traditional family values.” Anyone caught owning or sharing this so-called "porn" could end up behind bars. Again, this is all in their own words. They also seek to overturn the legal protections that keep LGBTQ+ people safe from discrimination in housing, employment, and healthcare. Check out glaad.org and their Project 2025 Exposed section for more in-depth information on this. . This is no time to sit on the sidelines. Your voice matters, and it’s time to use it and give Project 2025 goals a deep reality check. Get your community talking about why the whole “labeling LGBTQ+ people as child predators” ideal is not only ludicrous but wildly outdated. Blast it on your social media accounts, tell it to your friends and frenemies alike, drop it into some DMs, shout it in the freaking town square, but do not be silent on this. You and your words are mighty and desperately necessary. The people behind Project 2025 aren’t just trying to censor porn— they’re trying to redefine it to control education, healthcare, bodies, minds, and futures. We cannot let this happen. The LGBTQ+ community and its allies are a force. Hate has been squared off against time and time again, and the rainbow family has come out stronger and more solidified each time. These rights have been fought too hard for to let them be ripped away. Project 2025 might want to rewrite the story of our lives, but, baby, no one said we couldn’t grab that pen right out of their hands with our votes and continue to write a story of love, acceptance, and living truth!"
