Even though over 70 percent of people in the US now support same sex marriage, anti-LBGTQ hate has become an increasing focus of the fascist right. As an example, the local Pride Prom for teenagers -- mostly trans or non-binary, according to an organizer -- was protested by Proud Boys. They were also present in the Southern California events reported here.
"Across the country, state legislatures have introduced at least 491 anti-LGBTQ+ bills so far this year, according to a database of the bills compiled by the American Civil Liberties Union. Trans people have been singled out as the focus of much of the legislation, and continue to be the target of many particularly virulent political attacks, but, as in Florida’s 'don’t say gay' law, which regulates what educators are allowed to discuss in public school classrooms, any mention of gender identity or homosexuality is now coming under attack."
