    30% is low but keep in mind there are still places in the U.S. that a gay couple could be disappeared and local law would do nothing.

    There are still people in the closet due to fear and cultural ignorance, and while we have made good progress, we still have a long way to go.

    Though the desperation that they are putting into their anti-trans campaigns is heartening (I know that sounds bad, hear me out) that they knew they had to shift their targets because of public acceptance of homosexuality. Thankfully most social circles have been immune to the -T sentiment and in a real way their bigotry campaign has actually had a Streisand effect.

    There are more drag queen story hours now than ever, but still not enough just yet I feel.
