The real reason the progress made in Republican circles in regard to gay and lesbian acceptance has been reversed over the last few years is that trans rights activists have worked for years to tie supposed “trans rights” to gay rights. The anchoring of the “T” to “LGB” has been successful and has given a perceived credence to the rightwing argument that promoting gay rights is a slippery slope. https://4w.pub/regression-in-the-republican-party/

@4WPub The good news is that only Republican politician mentioned here (Ted Cruz) is cited only as saying something pro-gay. Maybe we can ask him to drop the TQ from his hashtags, but I’m otherwise pleased.It’s too bad about Trump’s lawyer, Jenna Ellis, and the other commentators.

@4WPub The mainstream liberal criticism of Republican condemnation of transgender ideology is that Republicans use the way it can harm children as a veil for transphobia. This is often partially true, though it’s also true that mainstream liberals don’t care how trans ideology affects children. All that said, it tends to be the case that neither mainstream conservatives nor mainstream liberals care about how transgender ideology affects women or gay men and lesbians.
