Comcast is now using the “public service announcement” to push its leftist LGBT agenda. NBC Universal made an ad starring “Caitlyn” Jenner and fellow transgender activist Chandi Moore to mark the “Transgender Day of Remembrance.” NBC Universal touted it on its website as a partnership of its activist grout “Out at NBC Universal” and GLAAD:
Caitlyn Jenner’s courageous decision to live as her authentic self brought great visibility to the transgender community this past year. The E! series, “I Am Cait,” discussed the issue of violence towards transgender people, especially transgender women of color. While 2015 has been a year of great strides for the LGBT community, the murder rate of transgender women has almost doubled.
For this year’s Transgender Day of Remembrance, OUT @NBCUniversal and GLAAD partnered with Caitlyn Jenner and her friend, Trans Community Activist & Health Educator, Chandi Moore, to create a message of acceptance and love to combat the hate and violence that exists against friends, families, co-workers and all people who are transgender.
This event isn’t exactly enormous. The gay paper The Washington Blade reported only 200 people turned out in the nation’s capital to remember 22 "trans women" who were killed in the last year. The Blade's sad reporting on the young people killed across America suggests the evidence in these crimes is sketchy as to whether "hatred and prejudice" are to blame.
But there's a sneaky smear in this argument. Oppose the "message of acceptance" for gender confusion and you're equated with "hatred and violence." It suggests emotional blackmail: Support us, or you support murder and beatings of "trans people."
No one expects NBC will be granting the traditional "gender binary" enforcers on the Right an equal-time message to argue for biological reality against the people who revolt against the gender they were "assigned at birth."
Jenner soberly announced that the Day of Remembrance is for “those who have been killed by anti-transgender hatred and prejudice.” He concluded with action items: “Listen to trans people’s stories. Hire a trans person in your company. Support a trans student at your school. Love your trans child. Let’s all take action to put an end to hate and violence.”
