    The GOP is ginning up hate because they need a target, an “other”. They don’t have a real platform to move forward, it’s all just “no”.

    They ran out of steam on gay hate in the past 15-years so now they’re aiming for the smallest bit of LGBT. Trans people are already afraid to come out, they’re certainly not going to take to the streets.

    And what’s it cost Republicans? 1-in-1000 votes? They’ve done the math and hate gets more votes than it loses.
