I wish Kyrsten Sinema (who cut her teeth fighting an anti-gay agenda in Arizona) could understand that unlike human sexuality, American politics is binary.
If you cripple Biden’s agenda for whatever reason you think important, you get a Republican congress in 2022. Period. Does anyone doubt that will lead to a fiercely anti-LGBTQ agenda? That is the inevitable outcome if you destroy this president’s agenda.
Like the folks who voted for Ralph Nader in Florida because Al Gore wasn’t something enough, or for Jill Stein because Hillary wasn’t either, and paved the way for a lifetime of committed Supreme Court ideologues, Sinema will open the door to an American future that is fiercely undemocratic and return a party to power that is committed to rolling back as many LGBTQ rights as possible.
American politics in binary. You may not want that to be so, but you can’t reasonably say it isn’t so. If you are committed to LGBTQ rights you must not destroy the only party that defends those rights. Period.
