It's not religion that is driving the resurgent moral panic about LBGTQ people in the USA. You don't get a 15% shift beliefs in a year due to growing religious sentiment.
It's cynical opportunists trying to ride to power on populist sentiment by delegating and demonizing an outgroup.
Fuck every one of them.
@ct_bergstrom That plus “trans competing in gender assigned sports”; and the angle of protecting young children from evil trans acceptance/evil doctors looking to mutilate genitals or whatever body horror way they frame it.
All of those angles are easy attack vectors for them, let’s them reframe the issue away from individual rights to the standard “must protect children/families” now that no one is actually marrying horses
