30% is low but keep in mind there are still places in the U.S. that a gay couple could be disappeared and local law would do nothing.

There are still people in the closet due to fear and cultural ignorance, and while we have made good progress, we still have a long way to go.

Though the desperation that they are putting into their anti-trans campaigns is heartening (I know that sounds bad, hear me out) that they knew they had to shift their targets because of public acceptance of homosexuality. Thankfully most social circles have been immune to the -T sentiment and in a real way their bigotry campaign has actually had a Streisand effect.

There are more drag queen story hours now than ever, but still not enough just yet I feel.

I know its a funny meme but up until Gamergate, the only way for the conservative party to grow was having more kids (hence the jabs at birth control and abortion).

Unfortunately now they have a chunk of edgybois that have been radicalized just in time to vote for cheetolini.

And it actually has damaged some families.

So its less 'devastated by your kid coming out as conservative', and more 'horrified that your kid came out as a white nationalist'.

I would be especially thrilled if it turns out that republicunt's inhumane treatment of LGBTQ people turned out to be what tips voting out of the hands of the conservative party.

Sure they can gerrymander along racial lines, lets see them try that bullshit along sexual identity.

Back in the early 90s we were told in school that 'The total number of LGBT per capita is less than 10% and that makes it unnatural'

One of the grunge kids raised her hand and said 'I don't think that number is accurate, plenty of states still accept the 'gay panic' defense for murder.'

Teacher gasped like a fish for about 3 mins.

Fuck you Mrs. Saunders, you bigoted piece of shit.

I think that would be a lucrative niche business if any of the etsy crowd were to see this thread.

Honestly I feel that trans boys and men are underrepresented.

I mean trans people are underrepresented in general but I feel that trans men get the worst of it, ESPECIALLY for medical info.

Good job Biden, don't stop now.
