2. There is a massive amount of threatening and concerning behavior from the right nowadays.

It is largely directed at the transgender community and they would love to receive a signal to proceed with violence against that community. Of course, others will simply include anyone in the LGBT+ community in their vitriol and actions as we have seen in protests of drag time story hour in addition to “don’t say gay” laws in multiple states to book bans to the growing attacks on DEI programs in businesses and governments.

The right is channeling all sorts of energy into these attacks and it is only going to get worse. Out of control protests and riots seem far more likely than not.

Even worse, there seems to be a growing rift between some members of the LGB segments of the community with the T segment of the community. This intra-community divisiveness, squabbling and separation will not yield worthwhile results and will likely be co-opted by nefarious forces.
