Over 400 Anti-LGBTQ Bills Proposed in 2023
The LGBTQ+ community in America is increasingly experiencing discrimination and political attacks on its rights. This year alone, nearly 500 anti-LGBTQ+ bills have been introduced in state legislatures nationwide, and at least 75 of these bills have been signed into law. As a result, many LGBTQ+ Americans feel unsafe in their communities and neglected by elected officials.
....
Low political efficacy is also reflected by LGBTQ+ Democrats who do not believe that the Democratic Party is doing enough for the LGBTQ+ community. More than 75 percent of self-identifying LGBTQ+ adults want the party to do more to protect the rights of transgender and queer Americans from anti-LGBTQ+ legislation. Transgender adults especially feel that the community is neglected, with 89 percent saying that the Democratic Party should be doing more to protect the rights of LGBTQ+ Americans.
As the election season continues to heat up, President Trump’s campaign distributed on Friday evening a video of Joseph Biden defending the anti-gay Defense of Marriage Act — and saying “marriage is between a man and a woman and states must respect that” — as evidence the candidate “flip-flops.”
In the 2006 clip, then-host of “Meet the Press” Tim Russert asked Biden about then-President George W. Bush’s repeated calls for Congress to pass a Federal Marriage Amendment, which would have banned same-sex marriage under the U.S. Constitution. The measure ultimately failed in Congress.
Biden, who voted against the Federal Marriage Amendment in 2004 as a U.S. senator from Delaware and would ultimately vote against it again in 2006, said the measure was not worth Congress’ time.
Although Biden cited other pressing issues — such as the avian flu and an insufficient number of police officers — as reasons why a vote on the amendment was unnecessary, Biden also referenced DOMA, a measure he voted for in 1996 barring federal recognition of same-sex marriage, and asserted is between a man and a woman.
“We already have a law, the Defense of Marriage Act,” Biden said. “We’ve all voted — not, where I’ve voted, and others have said, look, marriage is between a man and a woman and states must respect that. Nobody’s violated that law, there’s been no challenge to that law. Why do we need a constitutional amendment? Marriage is between a man and a woman.”
Genocide Joe and the Transphobe Cop are holding you hostage and you aren't smiling hard enough. Smile HARDER.
Also holy shit stop doing genocide and using my rights as an excuse for it. Even if Biden was doing literally one fucking goddamn thing for my rights, which he isn't, it doesn't justify LITERALLY FUCKING GENOCIDE. Holy shit. It makes me see red every single time. I'm complicit enough in this genocide by living and paying taxes don't then use some idealistic defense of my rights that isn't even fucking happening as justification for your heinous shit
Who the fuck are those 11% of trans adults who apparently think the
are doing enough?
Or literally anything material at all?Well-off libs, I'd imagine.
The ladder-pullers who whelp, whine, and moan that the actual people in the communities they claim are "too icky", "not family-minded enough", the peckerwoods who only care about preserving their liberal optics and their backyards
They are
fodder most likely
I'm just going to say this right now, to any queer liberals who happen to peruse this thread: if you're still out here playing assimilationist games in 2024, I do not claim your ass. Neither the democrats, nor the corporations, nor the goddamn cops y'all let into Pride marches across the country are our allies. You've had years to internalize this; now pick a goddamn side.
Genocide Pride was right there and they didn't take it.
