The Culture War Is Waning (at least on gay rights front), Even Trump Voters Support LGBTQ+ Rights.
“The three main takeaways from the survey, according to researchers, were that Joe Biden and pro-equality Democratic Senate candidates were in very strong positions as election day closes in, that voters have “clear and abiding support for LGBT+ equality across a host of issues”, and that “voters have no interest in seeing transgender people demonised or having basic rights for transgender people used as political footballs”.”
Religious liberty has been the newest rightwing lingo in the last 5 or 6 years used to couch homophobic ideas and policies as being ‘pro-liberty’. With modest success the movement has been able to use the phrase to convince some voters that LGBTQ rights somehow take away that so called liberty. It also allows Christian conservatives to claim victim status because they can claim their ‘liberties’ are actively being abridged by gay rights and the demand for equality. Well many of exact same voters that the religious liberty campaign is aimed at convincing seem rather incredulous and instead support equality on a grand scale.
