LGB law has progressed massively in recent years
Has it?
And that's the thing, as the HERO vote showed, it's setting back our fight for protection against discrimination in employment, public accommodations and housing (for LGB
and trans people) back 20 years to say it has to be tied to the trans bathroom thing. Imagine if black and women's groups in 1964 had opposed passing any anti-discrimination bill that didn't include the trans bathroom thing - there would never have been any protections for anyone.
If it were up to LGB people, trans groups would have every law they want, but it's not up to LGB people. It's absurd to demand that LGB people must suffer for the sins of straight homophobes, and accomplishes nothing - in fact it hurts trans people. It reminds me of how crabs act inside the bucket, pulling the other crabs down as soon as they are about to escape.
