As someone on the left who felt it necessary to support Democrats for many other reasons, I too am, regardless, concerned about this, so thank you for bringing it up. This crosses party lines (and I don't think of myself as a Democrat) among those of us who know better. I've wondered several times how to carefully contact my representatives and try to help them be aware that there is much more to what is going on than they realize. (And I don't think any of my reps are homophobic, but they might not understand the consequences of what they might do, in their rush to not seem "transphobic" as well.)

This is important stuff. I don't have answers at the moment but we are all going to have to care, no matter which side of the aisle our representatives are on (though admittedly, I suspect more Republicans will not go along with this crap).

So, following for the moment. Perhaps I will have thoughts to add later. If anyone feels like compiling a list of well-vetted resources we might start passing on to them quietly...well, it's a start. They need to know.

At the very least we need to present them with the obvious bind they are in if they choose to support woke homophobia. I know none of mine want to be seen as homophobic.

EDIT: Spelling.
