So predictable. The angry assholes hated losing that ruling, as well as losing the culture war around it. That's why they didn't really give up, but switched to harping on bathroom bills and "men in women's sports". The wedge was trans and they were going to hammer on that until they got enough Confederates in office to, yeah, attack trans, but also go after gays, even if, or even especially because of, the culture being against them for it. They hope to deport, imprison, threaten and smash down enough people to reverse that culture war, too, believe that.
They won't be happy until they turn on streaming services or their television or go to the movies and won't have to see any gays, unless it is for comic effect or the like. They definitely don't want to see anything normalized...
This might not be reversed in the near future - maybe. But the weirdoes on the right will treat this just like they did abortion. They won't give up, even if it takes them 50 years to take the rights of others away.
I just have no idea why gays voted for Taco. Or any Confederates for that matter. It just makes no sense at all. I know some gays IRL who have voted for Taco. Twice. But I guess there was actually a group called "Jews for Hitler", too, until the Nazis shut it down...
I'm so glad democrats circled the wagons around vulnerable minorities on this one. Can you imagine if they just ignored it and let republicans set the narrative, or worse, ran the "men in women's sports" hate in their own ads?
Man imagine if people started saying that trans people should just suck it up "for a bit" too. As if somehow not fighting for our rights would lead to them being magiced into existence.
If all LGBT people were a precient we would be more pro democrat than anywhere but parts of south LA
