"He wants to strip federal funding from elementary and middle schools that allow trans kids to use preferred pronouns without parental consent. He voted against the Employment Nondiscrimination Act to extend job protections to LGBTQ people.
Now the same anti-queer virulency that Scott heartily supports is threatening his presidential aspirations."

As Renée Graham notes, it's extremely ironic that GOP presidential Tim Scott is now hounded by rumors about his not "being married," with GOP funders hesitating to give him money as a result:
"The irony of Scott’s dilemma is that he’s never met an anti-LGBTQ policy he wouldn’t endorse. He opposes same-sex marriage."

Again, #lgbtqia people are BORN that way. To create #Legislation that prevents them getting what they need, based on the lie that people can magically switch back and forth is not only cruel, but dangerous and deadly.

"DeSantis, though he’s trained and educated even at Yale and got a law degree, he’s rooted in racism and meanness. He has decided that this is his way to office: distraction, division, deflection, focusing on culture wars so that he cannot be labeled as a failed governor. That’s what he really is — not a presidential candidate, he’s a failed governor."

Any decision that results with an outcome to permit discrimination is always the wrong decision. If you are running a business or public service you should not be permitted to discriminate against your customers. If you have reservations because of your religion, then clearly you are unable to perform your duties.

The right really have this unhealthy obsession with the #LGBTQ. Now disrupting a pride event in Sydney, Australia. Anti-LGBTQ sentiments are on the rise in Sydney. This really is troubling but we must remain strong in defiance of this bigotry. I am happy to see that is at least being called out, as it should be.

I have never, in my adult life, felt less safe to be gay in public in the US
While about two-thirds of adults in the US – 64% – consider same-gender relationships to be morally acceptable, according to the poll, 33% do not.
The catalyst appears to be the false, decades-old trope that queer people, men in particular, are more likely to act inappropriately around children.
"What men don't understand they fear, what they fear they destroy"
just sayin
