Economic fallout from the coronavirus pandemic is having a harsher impact on LGBT+ Americans than on the general population, said a survey released on Friday showing gay and trans people 30 per cent more likely to have lost their jobs since May.

The surest proof that the Ronas days are numbered. It’s helping the orange man and hurting the LBGT....
It’s kind of funny though. I thought gays had the highest discretionary income. Obviously that’s been a lie that’s been screamed by the gay community for years. Liars. Evil liars!!!!!
Man o man....that cat is right out of 1900bce Sodom.Gomorrah
And the entertainment industry.
Non-essential workers.
Waiters and others in the food service industry, hairdressers, fashion industry, retail, hospitality industry, home design and travel.
I imagine gay topics are of interest to gays. You silly beast.
When nonunion small businesses have to cut back hours... the less procuctive and whiners are the first to go.
Well - Maybe they should vote for folks who don’t shut down the economy.
Since the LGBTQWERTY crowd uniformly support the Lib/Dem pols who have brought about this economic pain I can only put this down to karma.
Be careful what you vote for!
