I'm not happy about it, but it makes sense.
They're trying to avoid polarizing issues so as to not alienate undecided voters. Either way a democratic presidency would be better for LGBTQ people than a MAGA presidency, so I'm not too upset about our issues being put on hold for a few days to achieve that. I imagine they'll become a little more vocal about them once they're actually in the White House, and if not we'll still be better off regardless.
Transgender people are a minority amongst minorities, catering to them while potentially alienating so many more voters is not a wise strategy. Reasonable trans voters will already vote for Harris because they know what's at stake.
I don't like it, but if it means keeping fascists out of the office, I can live with it.
Yes, let’s leave it up to the states and do nothing for people in the south. If you wanna be queer MOVE TO CALIFORNIA and if you can’t afford rent we will sends pigs to kill you. Fuck electrical poltics, embrace community
Those are not mutually exclusive. I'm so tired of this nihilistic view.
Community and activism can only go so far, and since human decency is not something you can rely on, if you want things to get better you need actual laws that will protect you. The only way to have those is to actually elect people who at least have a chance to do something about it. That holds true both at the state level and federal level.
So yeah, strengthen your community, but for crying out loud vote for the right people as well.
