The onslaught of attacks legislatively and in the media against our community goes well beyond ignorance; it is hateful, purposeful, and intentional. We need to wake up and be smart in our fight, as all our LGBTQ+ youth need us now more than ever.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need to speak up and hold everyone accountable, even those who purport to be \u2018liberal and progressive,&#8217;\u201d he added. \u201cThat\u2019s why I am calling for the LGBTQ+ community and supporters of LGBTQ+ youth to boycott HBO until \u2018Real Time With Bill Maher\u2019 is removed from its platform.

Because we\u2019re literally experimenting on children.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The host pointed out that countries like Finland and Sweden no longer allow puberty blockers to be administered to children, and said commonsense suggests \u201cthere\u2019s going to be problems\u201d when doctors try to \u201creverse the course of raging hormones.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/lgbtq-advocate-demands-bill-mahers-cancellation-hbo?intcmp=tw_fnc\">H\/t Fox News<\/p>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The head of the LGBT network, David Kilmnick, said Bill Maher should be canceled following his latest remarks on his show questioning the increase in young people identifying as transgender, calling his comments \u201charmful, homophobic\u201d and more.
