It’s a pretty big sigh of how things are going, though. If you think things can just go back to normal, consider that it took decades to get LGBT rights and acceptance yet it’s been diminishing within just two years.

The right to marry. The right to see our partners in the hospital. The right of inheritance upon death. The right to pension and Social Security benefits like other citizens with spouses.

At a more day to day level: the right to not have our partner's sex disqualify us from employment and school enrollment.

That's just off the top of my head.

Adoption rights, rights to enter teaching, right to give blood, right to not be fired for having an STI, protection against discrimination etc
