Me, 2016: wow, Republicans don’t like gay people. I’ll never vote for them.

Me, 2021: Well, looks like Republicans are the last line for gay people. I’m drinking a beer and cheering on Rand Paul.

Yeah, I feel like I have whiplash. I don't know who I'm going to consistently vote for in the future; perhaps I'll just take each race on a case-by-case basis on my ballot.

As you should.

And the GOP are barely doing it, and mostly doing it wrong, or it's just for religion or abortion politics. Women of all types and same-sex attracted men are being sacrificed on the trans altar.

I’m kind of starting to think the reasons we don’t want this don’t even cross the GOP’s minds. Dan Crenshaw posted a video to his Instagram yesterday where he said he’s not opposed to gay people but there were three reasons he wouldn’t back the act: women’s sports and two religious liberty issues. He’s a guy who will generally outline all the reasons why he’s rejecting something. So, it seems like the multitude of women’s issues, the potential to medically damage children, the inability to coherently define “gender identity”, and the fact that the bill is just using LGB people as a shield for radical trans issues don’t even occur to him.

Idk. Maybe I’m wrong, but I’m writing both of my senators to hopefully draw some attention to the fact that there are way more issues with this than religious liberty and women’s sports.

If you have time, please call Dan Crenshaw's office and as many senators as you can.

The feminists at ovarit.com have been doing a lot of calling to Congressional offices, including to Congresspeople who do not represent them, and have often been allowed to air many of their concerns about the Equality Act.

Dan Crenshaw is a character half (more?) of conservatives don't like either. But yeah, who is speaking up (from any side) about the erasure of women? Too much focus on abortion, religion, and maybe they'll mention sports. Nobody much is saying "women deserve bodily privacy!" Victoria Spartz of Indiana DID bring up women's prisons and several points we talk about. I sent her a thank you the other day. Someone else, maybe the great BEB, posted the video the other day. Ah, found a copy: https://youtu.be/2YjLZQNVPGU

Yeah, and I really don't trust the GOP Senators not to gobble up the cash the trans lobby is throwing around.
