no, the impetus was conservative rhetoric. conservatives made this whole fucking bullshit issue out of nothing, it’s neither biologically nor sociologically consistent and simply weaponized hate turned into conservative legislation to again shit on anyone who is not cis/het/white.
never forget, walmart didn’t invent this bullshi, cops didn’t even invent this bullshit, conservatives invented this bullshit.
I’m not American but you’re hiding from a very ugly truth. The conservatives didn’t invent it. There was clearly a sizeable group of the population who felt this way but were previously oppressed from their opinions. What you’re seeing is, I guess, “free speech”? You may not like it, but that’s the price of “free speech”.
This is a fundamental misunderstanding of the first amendment.
“Free speech” in the context of the US Constitution means that one is free to criticize the government without fear of retaliation (which is currently being dismantled). “Free speech” does not mean that one gets to say anything they want without consequence.
