Summary

LGBTQ Americans are deeply concerned about Donald Trump’s second term, citing his anti-LGBTQ rhetoric, policies, and ties to conservative groups like the Heritage Foundation.

His past actions and campaign ads targeting trans individuals have raised fears of eroding healthcare access, legal protections, and rights, especially for transgender people.

Trump’s alignment with the Project 2025 agenda, which promotes rolling back LGBTQ rights, heightens anxiety, despite his appointment of an openly gay treasury secretary.

Advocates warn of significant societal and legal repercussions.

    In general, anything which makes unsubstantiated claims and wants to have a say in how humans organize themselves is bunk to me. You can pick and choose from something which resonates with you, and leave the rest. There’s no rule which says you have to accept the whole spiel of something. Only a religion makes you dumb enough to believe that you have to accept something in an all or nothing manner.

      Oh, you’ve switched to praising Buddhism for not having any of the negative traits you just listed? Cool, glad to meet someone so open minded.
