    Hating gays isn’t cool anymore and will get backlash even from conservatives.

    Trans people are the new gays in this sense

      I figure racism will stick around long after transphobia is out of style.

      Because no middle class white kid ever sat their parents down and said “mom, dad… I’m black”

      I would love for you to be right. If you’re in the US, though, voter data doesn’t seem to support that.

      It would be amazing to live in a country where half the populace agreed that my son has the right to simply exist in peace but I don’t think we do anymore.

      That’s a good point. And political movements like trans exclusionary LGB are there to piggy back off of.
