RNC calls for unity ring hollow for some in LGBTQ community
ABC News | Disney ^ | July 20, 2024 | ByKiara Alfonseca (D-ABC)

Following the assassination attempt of former President Donald Trump, unity was expected to be the hallmark of the Republican National Convention for the presidential candidate.

"I am running to be president for all of America, not half of America, because there is no victory in winning for half of America," Trump said.

But the message of unity rings hollow for some in the LGBTQ community, who say they have repeatedly been the target of Trump, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee, and others on the national stage.

"It can be difficult to stay hopeful when anti-LGBTQ sentiment comes to town," said the LGBTQ group Fair Wisconsin in a post on X. It continued, "But Fair Wisconsin knows that this sentiment is not who we are. The majority of Wisconsinites support the rights of LGBTQ+ people, and with fair maps for the first time in over a decade, we’re hopeful about the opportunity to shift the tide on anti-LGBTQ+ legislation."

There has been a record number of bills targeting the LGBTQ community in state legislatures across the country -- including transgender youth care bans, restrictions on drag shows, and more -- topping more than 500 bills nationwide so far in 2024, according to the ACLU.

This comes as LGBTQ people, particularly transgender people, face higher rates of violent victimization, discrimination and bullying, according to the CDC and the Williams Institute.

Still, several RNC speakers, including Trump, openly and continuously took jabs at transgender and nonbinary people throughout the convention.

Then don’t join the party. I’m so tired of these special interest groups.

If they are otherwise decent human beings there should be no problem. If they are looking for special treatment their convention is next month so they will have to wait.

Unity doesn’t mean “anything goes”.

Trump had Richard Grenell on the platform speaking. He is as squishy-soft on personal Liberty as a Republican can get.

No one can out-Mao a Maoist.

The LGBTQ “community” does’t want “unity,” they want dominance.

The queer world has always been filled with greater violence than the rest of the population - and not from straights , but from other gays.

Gay on Gay violence and bullying is part of the queer subculture,.

Its not anti LGBQ.
The laws are to protect children from perverts.
Are they admitting they are perverts?

3% of the country. No one noticed until the LGB.. community made it an issue. Now they are hated, not because of who they are but because they are acting like a bunch of little girls. And the women are even worse!

Team Mickey Mouse reporter dropped a couple of letters.

Shame on her or they or whatever its preferred pronoun is.

It is officially LGTBQIA+.
