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.

Trannies, pushing perversion on children, public displays of eroticism and perversion.?
Here I thought they just wanted a place in the sun and out of the closet. Like I said, and the millions of others alongside me, they want more to the point of, they WANT IT ALL. They don’t want to live their lives and be left alone, they want US in the front row of their Shit Show, and clapping. If not? FB jail, which is a precursor to social pariah and real jail.

You have said it all, and perfectly. The soul of wit is brevity.
They don’t want to be included.
They want special privileges.
Faggotry is evil. Your only hope is to abandon the vile practices you commit that make you a lugbut.
Jesus told them to repent. Jesus told the "woman caught in adultery" to go and sin no more.
Pandering to the faggots is the exact opposite of "what Jesus would do".
The pedophiles feel left out?
I cannot repent.
I never pented to begin with.
Those little turds are never happy.
If all goes well, potato won’t have jack shit after 1/20/25.
The headline should read, “Alphabet people’s demands remind one of a dog who bites the hand that feeds him.”
They’re not a “community.” They are a population sector defined by certain perverted characteristics.
Indeed, not even the members of the acronym of perversion get along with each other, only barely coalescing on paper to make their numbers appear bigger. “L’s” and “G’s” mostly have their own bars and exclusive meeting places, their cultures being so dissimilar. The “B’s” are considered “impure members” because they could conceivably “act straight” by settling down with someone of the opposite sex. The “T’s” are fawned over, but not even most “gay” people want to date them, even once. They are described as completely separate from the “gay” group.
It should be instructive that the “LGBT+” population is most distinctly defined by the fact that they are at the highest risk for contracting HIV/AIDS and other easily avoidable STD’s.
