80. The LGBTQ community is going to experience trauma over the Equality Act debate

Thu Mar 18, 2021, 03:46 PM

Mar 2021

It’s going to dredge up trauma from DADT, DOMA, and so many other instances where LGBTQ Americans are treated as lesser than. I have experienced discrimination so many times over my life, and am still in fear when I visit my parents in the small town that I’m from. When I open my mouth, I speak in rainbow colors.

The Equality Act should be a no-brainer. Opposing it on the grounds of a culture war is all the GOP has. LGBTQ youth will suffer because of this debate. Homelessness of gay teens will increase.

I’m glad Biden is president. I hope Manchin and Sinema recognize our common humanity and relax the filibuster rules for this important legislation.
