Over 400 Anti-LGBTQ Bills Proposed in 2023

LGBTQ+ Adults Do Not Feel Safe and Do Not Think the Democratic Party Is Doing Enough to Protect Their Rights

The LGBTQ+ community in America is increasingly experiencing discrimination and political attacks on its rights. This year alone, nearly 500 anti-LGBTQ+ bills have been introduced in state legislatures nationwide, and at least 75 of these bills have been signed into law. As a result, many LGBTQ+ Americans feel unsafe in their communities and neglected by elected officials.

....

Low political efficacy is also reflected by LGBTQ+ Democrats who do not believe that the Democratic Party is doing enough for the LGBTQ+ community. More than 75 percent of self-identifying LGBTQ+ adults want the party to do more to protect the rights of transgender and queer Americans from anti-LGBTQ+ legislation. Transgender adults especially feel that the community is neglected, with 89 percent saying that the Democratic Party should be doing more to protect the rights of LGBTQ+ Americans.

    As the election season continues to heat up, President Trump’s campaign distributed on Friday evening a video of Joseph Biden defending the anti-gay Defense of Marriage Act — and saying “marriage is between a man and a woman and states must respect that” — as evidence the candidate “flip-flops.”

    In the 2006 clip, then-host of “Meet the Press” Tim Russert asked Biden about then-President George W. Bush’s repeated calls for Congress to pass a Federal Marriage Amendment, which would have banned same-sex marriage under the U.S. Constitution. The measure ultimately failed in Congress.

    Biden, who voted against the Federal Marriage Amendment in 2004 as a U.S. senator from Delaware and would ultimately vote against it again in 2006, said the measure was not worth Congress’ time.

    Although Biden cited other pressing issues — such as the avian flu and an insufficient number of police officers — as reasons why a vote on the amendment was unnecessary, Biden also referenced DOMA, a measure he voted for in 1996 barring federal recognition of same-sex marriage, and asserted is between a man and a woman.

    “We already have a law, the Defense of Marriage Act,” Biden said. “We’ve all voted — not, where I’ve voted, and others have said, look, marriage is between a man and a woman and states must respect that. Nobody’s violated that law, there’s been no challenge to that law. Why do we need a constitutional amendment? Marriage is between a man and a woman.”

    Genocide Joe and the Transphobe Cop are holding you hostage and you aren't smiling hard enough. Smile HARDER.
