NBC News is really something. In a sea of bad media, they stand out as exceptionally terrible. Whether mad about states acknowledging basic biology, or glossing over the arrest of a journalist, they've taken media bias to the next level.
This gem is just the latest in a long line of WTF stories from this media outlet:
Whether they are crocheting a nonbinary blanket or correcting family members who aren’t using the right pronouns, aunts provide critical support to LGBTQ youth, research shows. https://t.co/1QCZN6vlIr
— NBC News (@NBCNews) March 14, 2024
A study published last month in Socius, an open-access journal of the American Sociological Association, found that aunts play a crucial role in supporting their young relatives who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer and transgender, including by preventing them from experiencing homelessness if their parents are less supportive.
The paper, “Aunties, Aunts, and Tías: The Forgotten Othermother Supporting and Housing LGBTQ Youth,” is the first research on LGBTQ youth and aunthood and is part of a larger two-year longitudinal study on LGBTQ youth, support from family members who aren’t parents and housing stability.
This is so, so tiresome. "Othermother" is not a thing.
My aunt tried to drown me for having a Madonna poster.

Sure sounds like parody, no?

Yes it is.
I'm old enough to remember you were once a serious news source.

Now, TMZ has more credibility.
What a sad state you're in.
What? 'Nonbinary blankets' isn't hard hitting news for you?
"nonbinary blanket" - you mean, not pink or blue?

"the right pronouns" - you mean, lying is ok now?
It won't work, media, humans are binary, and human brains know that sex matters and language matters. #StopIt
Yes. The pronoun game and associated nonsense is not sustainable. It defies logic, reason, and science.
Almost every family has a grabby uncle too but NBC doesn't write favorably about that kind of grooming. Why do you write about this kind?

Give them time.

Couldn't have said it better ourselves.
Sounds like parental interference and grooming to me
— #CMFL (@seeemmeffell) March 15, 2024
Yep.
Look, while it's terrible some parents throw their kids out for being gay, most parents -- especially on the trans issue -- are trying to protect their kids from permanent, irreparable harm. This just encourages undermining those parents and dividing families.
It's insidious.

NBC News utterly humiliating & embarrassing everyone associated with them. https://t.co/pJKU6SqR9C

Yes it is.
This aunt moved very quickly from crocheted non-binary gifts to empathetic & heartfelt texts about how you’re only born with one body, and it’s up to us to find a way to love it. In fact the last conversation I had - via text - with my nephew before he died was exactly that. https://t.co/DjQuCQuzZ3

This is heartbreaking.
Crocheting. A nonbinary. Blanket.
