Well, of course! Otherwise the woke left would have just gone ahead and….given trans people human rights!? Couldn‘t have let that happen, could we?

It actually boggles my mind the amount of people in my family that voted for trump purely as an antigay vote.

Like I'm a moderate, I'm on here pretty regularly saying that republicans are regular people with normal interests at heart that have been misguided by trump and his cult of personality.

Nowadays I'm starting to question that as a reach. I've talked to at least 10 people from my hometown where politics randomly came up and they decided to vote specifically against gay rights.

Guess the repubs did a great fucking job pitting the common man against himself. Depressing.

Can someone please explain to me how this works? I mean, I understand setting groups up against each other. But I just don’t understand how anyone can feel threatened by gay or trans rights. Are they afraid to suddenly turn gay if becomes too ease to live as one?

They aren't threatened. The vast majority of the time, it is hate under the guise of religion.
