Difference between LGB and TQ: gay people just want to be able to exist in private, TQ wants to be accommodated and centred at all times and for everyone to tiptoe around them.

The backlash is already brewing in the US: According to the annual poll done by the former gay and lesbian rights organization, GLAAD, now all-transgender, all-the-time, LGBTQ acceptance is drastically falling among Millennials, especially women.

I'm betting it's the T and the Q causing problems, because not even the most Woke has the time to tiptoe around their endless, irritating, demands.

This was done exactly by design. Nonprofits exist only as long as the social problems that they’re - ostensibly - trying to fix. If LGBT gain several significant legal victories, and if social acceptance continues to reach new highs, then funding will start to decline.

GLAAD has a vested interest in constantly sounding the alarm on LGBT rights regardless of how much progress we’ve made.

They also forget that there're countries outside of the west where things are not so well for gays. Why not focus their power on this issue, on pressuring Saudi Arabia to humane laws?

Do you have a link for this? I'd love to read more about it. I tried looking on their site but it's hot garbage.

The poll is "GLAAD Accelerating Acceptance Index". It's an annual poll conducted by Harris Poll. I don't know how to link but if you type that into a search engine you should find it.

LGBT acceptance in the US is dropping dramatically among the usually most-tolerant age group, and, again, I will take bets it's not because of LGB, but rather the non-stop drama of the T and the look-at-me-I'm-so-Queer of the Q.

And sorry, I originally got confused so I replied to you with a different article (see below) that someone else had asked for. GLAAD ACCELERATING ACCEPTANCE INDEX is what you're looking for.

I have the page pulled up, but I don't know how to link. Try typing the title into Duck Duck Go or a browser rather than the NYT site - I have it up from Duck Duck Go. The author's name is Deborah Sontag.

Let me know if that doesn't work. It's a mind blowing article, given the audacity of the trans activists.

It's amazing, isn't it, how badly people respond to be called transphobic bigots (ditto racists) all the time. Who knew it would produce a backlash? eyeroll

OF course its TQ causing problems. LGB only ever want to essentially be left alone.

LGBTQ acceptance is drastically falling among Millennials, especially women.

TQ have no business latching onto LGB. It just makes my blood boil. Acceptance of LGB is so far removed from TQ, esp. T. How dare the T drag down LGB? All these polls need to be done letter-by-letter. How do Millennial women feel about lesbians? What about gay men? My guess is almost nobody cares one way or the other. Live and let live. Then ask about men invading women's changing rooms, nattering on about periods that they will never have, or barging into women's sports. THAT is where all the red flags are. That infmaous "It's Ma'am" bully in the Gamestop store video -- that is where the problem is. Don't try dragging LGB acceptance back decades. Drop the Trans. GLAAD or any other once upon a time LGB organization is hurting LGB by jumping on the T bandwagon. "Gay and Lesbian Alliance" -- is the T is GLAAD silent? GLTAAD?
