The battle to protect LGBTQ rights is winnable -- but will take a fight - The Boston Globe

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

57% : That ruling held that a similarly worded statute -- Title VII, which bars gender-based discrimination in the workplace -- also applies to gender discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity.
51% : Two executive orders, one that seeks to recognize only two genders under federal law and another that rolls back federal nondiscrimination protections -- including on the basis of gender -- put LGBTQ Americans in unique peril.
44% : To start, given the MAGA-controlled party's antipathy for any type of meaningful compromise when it comes to civil rights or immigration reform efforts, Moulton should know that any such collaboration would be a pipe dream.
41% : But it won't happen by futile efforts to find compromise with those who have made the dehumanization of LGBTQ Americans a core part of their political platform, as Trump and his supporters in the GOP have done.
24% : In a social media post calling Budde "nasty" and "not very good at her job," Trump went so far as to demand an apology for Budde's prayer.
24% : It will require these lawyers but also for citizens to stand up against the kind of fearmongering that Trump and others pushing such hateful policies rely on.
