Nationwide, there are about 351 anti-LGBTQ bills in state legislatures right now, according to the American Civil Liberties Union. The proposed measures, which are all sponsored by Republicans and come at a time when the GOP has been consumed by anti-LGBTQ hysteria, attempt to criminalize drag performances, bar trans youth from playing sports at school, and ban health care for transgender children and adults.
Some anti-LGBTQ bills have already worked their way through state legislatures just this week, Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves (R) signed a law that bans gender-affirming care for trans youth.
This Republican Party is playing politics with peoples lives and theyre painting a clear picture of what their priorities are, said Heather Williams, the interim president of the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee.

(11,795 posts)Yes. Agreed. A party that is unwilling to step into the current century and accept that our society has moved beyond the mores of the past. The absolute inability to change with the times and the acceptance of the change that lets people be who they are. An unwavering embrace of outdated ideas. I fucking hate these people. And their outdated ideas.
