You responded to my post. Whether I needed to respond to you, you responded to me.
Sorry if that's too complex for you to parse.
The LGBT community fought tooth and nail. Guess what was the vehicle for moving trans-friendly legislature and executive action into law?
PROTIP: It was not the Republican Party.
Sorry that politics are so far beyond your comprehension?
I'm sorry that you were incapable of reading two whole words??
I responded to the benefit of other people looking at your post. It's attracting a lot of attention And I want to highlight the lack of action of the Democrats.
I did not respond to you but to the overall post. Regardless I don't really care about this point so I can concede it.
The courts. Specifically the Roberts courts. Not the Democrats. Give the ACLU a bunch of credit but you'll notice that's not the Democrats.
Protip: if you're going to give the Democrats credit for it at least have something lined up to prove it.
Forgive me, 🙏 I misinterpreted what you wrote as 1990s to 2000. I'm still confused as how the Democrats led the lgbtq+ revolution in the 2010s.
The Roberts Court was very fucking far from the only or even the biggest contributor to improved LGBT rights in the US
Who the ever-loving fuck do you think appointed the liberal justices who were instrumental to those rulings??
How is it confusing that the only major pro-LGBT party was a major vehicle for the improvement of LGBT rights???
Okay so the Democrats managed to appoint a couple of Supreme Court Justices that brought the balance to 5-4. Not that it matters because they squandered that with the win of the Trump Administration.
You're giving the Democrats far too much credit for rights at the LGBT community fought for themselves. So what did the Democrats accomplish, instead of just not prosecuting lgbtq people? Did they do anything to help enshrine the rights of lgbtq people because I remember that being a major problem for the Democrats was that they weren't doing anything for for the lgbtq community.
It's like when people give Henry Ford the credit for the 8-hour workday and not the unions that died fighting for that right.
