There is a massive amount of threatening and concerning behavior from the right nowadays. LonePirate Apr 2023 #2
Eventually, IMO, they will attack all of LGBT. n/t RKP5637 Apr 2023 #6

It will eventually be against all LGBT. The right is ugly and hateful, and I think many are not RKP5637 Apr 2023 #7

It is largely directed at the transgender community and they would love to receive a signal to proceed with violence against that community. Of course, others will simply include anyone in the LGBT+ community in their vitriol and actions as we have seen in protests of drag time story hour in addition to “don’t say gay” laws in multiple states to book bans to the growing attacks on DEI programs in businesses and governments.

The right is channeling all sorts of energy into these attacks and it is only going to get worse. Out of control protests and riots seem far more likely than not.

Even worse, there seems to be a growing rift between some members of the LGB segments of the community with the T segment of the community. This intra-community divisiveness, squabbling and separation will not yield worthwhile results and will likely be co-opted by nefarious forces.

We’re going to all need to stand together. There is a little too much “These attacks are really only going after Trans people. I don’t like it, but it’s not like they’re going after all queer people” It’s not going to stop there, and honestly, they aren’t going to make those kinds of distinctions. You can’t be “one of the good ones” to these people. They don’t think there’s any such thing.

mentally well. They are incentivized by all of the ugly politics going on by hateful politicians.

(Assaults on rights, acceptance, attacks, etc.) still to this day.

Not as much as before, but many still look behind their backs/over their shoulders still.

Never will stop looking either.

... As the fundamentalist detractors.... But until gerrymandering is squashed... And GOTV takes hold in the younger crowd... Anything is possible.
