I just watched this video and I was wondering how you feel about these anti-LGBTQ+ laws and if anybody here has been affected by these laws.
We are all affected by discriminatory laws. We have seen this type of politics before.
This kind of politics is rising in the UK and Europe too and seems to be financed by the types of Steve Bannon.
One tool used is targeted personalised social media posts based on user behaviour, such as happened with Cambridge analytica.
Identities are intersectional and they are pushing on many fronts that affect us in one or more ways.
Republicans try to treat xenophobia, racism, transphobia, misogeny, homophobia, the war on the poor, the war on the working class as separate issues.
Many of us fall under multiple categories, queer, POC, working poor, possibly disabled, possibly immigrant all at once.
We need to fight all initiatives they push because they are all connected, rather than choosing battles along individual identities. Already I see a lot of gay, POC and generally liberal people 'defect' to go support anti trans legislature because they consider that to be 'too far'.
All minorities together are a majority, specially if our allies actually show up.
