You're in an LGBTQ+ community, bro.

I agree with them in the sense that republicans want to push their agenda this way. Its not that the article was posted, its that it had to be written.

You're referring to the GOP right? It's not clear you're not referring to OP, but the assertion's pretty well supported:

The party's fixation on trans issues, salient in state legislatures over the past four years, has abruptly taken the stage nationally, with the very functioning of the government hanging in the balance.

The provisions under scrutiny are social issue riders attached to essential budget bills needed to keep the federal government operational. Many of these target transgender individuals by proposing restrictions on federal funding for medical care, banning the promotion of “transgenderism,” barring servicemembers from transitioning, and excluding medical insurance coverage for transgender care.

Edit: nvm, user's just trying to provoke. Report and move on
