| Massachusetts Progressives Call on Fellow Dem Rep. Seth Moulton to ‘Resign' over Trans Sports Comments |
| 2024-11-11 |
| [Breitbart] Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA) has been accused of "betraying" his own party for speaking out against male transgender athletes in girls’ sports, with one Salem lawmaker even calling on him to resign. "Democrats spend way too much time trying not to offend anyone rather than being brutally honest about the challenges many Americans face," Moulton said in an interview with the New York Times published Thursday. "I have two little girls. I don’t want them getting run over on a playing field by a male or formerly male athlete, but as a Democrat, I’m supposed to be afraid to say that," he added. Moulton’s campaign manager and director of his political committee, Matt Chilliak, immediately resigned without commenting on the controversy, according to the Boston Globe. ​​In the congressman’s hometown of Salem, Mayor Dominick Pangallo and the School Committee sent out a joint memo saying Moulton’s remarks "do not reflect our values." "We want to reassure our LGBTQ+ students that we as district leaders will always celebrate your identities, support your dreams and aspirations, and applaud your accomplishments," the email to Salem residents stated. Progressive Massachusetts state Rep. Manny Cruz (D) took to X to denounce the congressman’s stance, saying Moulton "betrayed" his previous commitment to stand against anti-LGBTQ hate crimes: |

| #5 This clarifies matters. Evidently, the only possible responses to LGBTQ+ issues are (1) a tongue bath or (2) a hate crime. No middle ground. If this goes into practice, you're not gonna like how it comes out. |

| #3 #1, yeah, whatever happened to the "Big Tent"? It can't be very big if there is no room for any kind of dissent. |

| #2 Just because somebody has "dreams and aspirations" doesn't mean they should be supported, applauded and celebrated. It kinda depends on the nature of the dreams and aspirations, doesn't it? |

| #1 At at time when every House seat matters, convincing a elected member to switch parties because of the absolute intolerance of anything but hard Leftist agenda isn't a good idea politically. |
