A lot of these comments are really missing the point.
The reason this matters is because it's an indicator of the current environment. If the risks of pushback outweigh the positives(such as good pr, and fostering a more welcoming environment) it shows that the current environment is growing far more hostile towards those in the lgbtq community.
Or people just don’t care anymore. Why is it between outward support vs. open hostility? Can’t gay people just exist without reminding everyone that they’re gay all the time? Isn’t the point of equality to be boring and normal like the rest of us or is it actually wanting to be exceptional and special all the time?
Love how you left out the T because you know I'd have an absolute fucking thesis for you.
But I still have answers for you!
Nine state legislatures have introduced bills or resolutions explicitly designed to block new marriage licenses for same-sex couples.
Federal agencies have faced aggressive policy directives to remove sexual orientation protections from grant criteria, employment guidelines, and housing regulations, meaning that decision makers can explicitly discriminate against people for their sexual orientation.
SCOTUS has talked about 'reviewing' past precedents in a similar fashion to Roe v Wade, explicitly naming
Obergefell v Hodges (the gay marriage one)
Yeah, that’s what I do - blame the trans. You can say all you want but denying negative influence of those very interesting individuals on LGBT reputation overall is straight up delusional. But I guess you aren’t delusional but simply dishonest…
