If you think that corporations changing their profile pictures into rainbows means that the LGBTQ+ community has achieved equal rights, then I have some pretty awful news. Despite having zero evidence to back up their opinions, a recent survey from the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) found that a majority of Republicans — a gag-worthy 63% — believe that trans adults “are trying to indoctrinate children into” being trans.
The SPLC, a non-profit that monitors and fights hate groups around the country, paired up with Tulchin Research to poll 1,500 American adults and gauge the extent to which emerging far-right ideas, including the notion that trans people are spreading some sort of trans agenda, have infiltrated the mainstream Republican Party. Unfortunately, it seems like those ideas have been pretty successful so far.
