Today in Labor History July 15, 1954: Spanish fascist dictator Francisco Franco amended their vagrancy law to include LGBTQ people, including punishments of hard labor and detention in concentration camps, where they were routinely subjected to sexual violence. The majority of detainees were working-class gay men and trans women. It was not uncommon to hear upper class and aristocratic gays and lesbians refer to the dictatorship as a “great” historical period. Indeed, Salvador Dali continued to fawn over the fascist dictator until his death, in spite of the fact that Franco executed Dali’s own lover, the poet Federico Garcia Lorca, in the 1930s. And Andre Breton kicked Dali out of the Paris Surrealist Group for his fascist leanings.

Fascism continued in Spain up until Franco’s death, in 1975. Today, however, both Barcelona and Madrid are often described as among the most LGBTQ-friendly cities in the world. In 2005, Spain became one of the first countries in the world to legalize gay marriage. And Madrid’s Pride event is one of the largest in Europe, in spite of the fact that the city remains one of the most politically conservative regions of Spain.

You can see the trailer for Las noches de Tefía, about the concentration camp in the Canary Islands, that Franco used for LGBTQ prisoners: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5nk7ikWdUk

Out today from @TexasObserver: On September 22, Governor Greg Abbott signed Senate Bill 8, #Texas’ new “bathroom bill,” into law, marking another escalation in the Republican war on the rights of #trans people. What may be less evident on first glance is how the #law also represents an attack on public institutions—and on the legal system writ large.

Andrea Segovia, senior field and policy analyst for the #Transgender Education Network of Texas, said the law, which bans trans people from using their preferred bathrooms in certain public buildings, will make them feel less safe engaging in a basic biological function anywhere outside of their homes. “Every time that an anti-trans bill passes, it is another attempt at removing trans people from the public eye,” she told the Texas Observer.

Trans folks and #LGBTQIA+ advocates spent countless hours testifying against various iterations of the bathroom bill over the eight years since the first one was proposed in this state, only for the latest version to be fast-tracked through the Legislature during this year’s second special session. Major corporations, whose opposition to these kinds of laws historically helped prevent their passage, have largely gone silent on the 2025 versions of this law that have passed or been proposed around the country.

With anti-trans policies now openly backed by President Donald Trump’s federal government, it’s perhaps unsurprising that state officials feel confident passing more extreme measures. But beyond the harmful effects the law is likely to have on transgender and gender non-conforming people, it may also allow Republicans to weaponize #transphobia against public institutions. The law enables the state to investigate and levy massive fines against schools, libraries or other entities that they suspect of violations. In addition, it’s designed to be especially difficult to challenge in court, in ways that experts say are likely to be unconstitutional.

SO: there an article in The Times today on the UK Equalities and Human Rights Commission's trans exclusionary statutory guidance: it appears it will likely be delayed 12 months as the UK Government have requested a full "regulatory impact assessment".

Warning: The piece is as transphobic as hell, all the major UK TERFs are up in arms about a delay.

I suspect Labour are desperately looking for an 'out' on the whole Supreme Court mess. They'll try to fudge it of course - no balls to relegislate. Starmer is a weak, weak PM.

Regardless it will give time for legal appeals like the Good Law Project.

@frameworkcomputer sponsors a transphobic developer: Vaxry, developer of the Hyprland compositor.

https://xcancel.com/FrameworkPuter/status/1975925109647987101

Vaxry has been known to harass trans ppl. If Framework is putting money towards that, maybe I won't put money toward Framework anymore. Maybe you shouldn't either, until they stop this.

Transphobia is not appealing, especially for the kind of people who would normally be interested in Framework's devices.

Jay Graber acting like the head mod of a shitty Fediverse server that's about to get Fediblocked by everyone for obvious bigotry.

I hear the 'phobes are using 'Waffles' as a slur against trans people now, if you needed an update.
Fuck Silicon Valley and fuck Transphobia.
