Most Americans believe that it’s a ā€œproblemā€ that Republicans are transphobic.

A new YouGov poll asked Americans whether they thought that certain issues were a ā€œproblemā€ for either party. 44% said that transphobia was ā€œa major problemā€ among Republicans, and another 24% said they thought it was ā€œa minor problem.ā€ Only 32% of respondents said it wasn’t a problem.

Transphobia was the second most likely issue to be labeled a problem by respondents, after ā€œhostility toward immigrants.ā€ ā€œTolerance of political violence,ā€ ā€œconspiracy thinking,ā€ ā€œwhite supremacy,ā€ ā€œhomophobia,ā€ and ā€œfascismā€ followed closely behind.

Oddly, 40% of respondents said that ā€œtransgender ideologyā€ was ā€œa major problemā€ for Republicans, and another 20% said it was ā€œa minor problem.ā€ 41% said that they didn’t think it was a problem at all for Republicans.

    Pride month, June, when schools are out for summer, is when your nephew’s middle school was quizzed about LGBT sexuality? And that’s a totally real thing that happened without getting any coverage from a right wing outrage farm?

    Bullshit.

      Deny it all you want. I was in the school and saw it with my own eyes. every hall was plastered with the 50+ pride flags and when I asked him about it that’s what he said. It’s part of the curriculum for them to know the differences in pride flags now.

      I think it would make sense in queer studies class in college. But why a middle school should be be expected to now the difference btween BDSM and allosexuality and their flags, i have no clue. But that is the werido world we live in now. Kid doesn’t even have an interest in girls yet and he’s expected to know these things so he doesn’t oppress anyone or something.

        This did not happen. No middle school is teaching children about BDSM. Blatant lies.
