But this past spring the Republican-led state legislature passed a series of controversial bills that targeted the LGBTQ community.
That’s when Kleinmahon said he started having difficult conversations with his family about leaving the home they love. When he explained to his six-year-old daughter that their family had no choice but to leave New Orleans, she said, “We do have a choice, just one of them isn’t a good one.”
The Kleinmahons join other LGBTQ families who are also facing the same choice. They say they no longer feel safe or welcomed in states that have passed laws targeting their community. Many have made the difficult decision to leave.
In 2023, more than 525 anti-LGBTQ bills were passed in 41 states, according to the Human Rights Campaign, an organization that advocates for the LGBTQ community. Of those bills, more than 220 explicitly targeted transgender people. As of June, 77 anti-LGBTQ bills had been signed into law.
That’d be considered a win for a lot of these people. They would rather their young children die of easily preventable illnesses then find out that they’re gay.
But if they are gay, then they should also be dead! Conservatives: Dead kids=gud 👍🏾 😊
Or have universal healthcare.
They would rather have ten cis kids die than one trans kid live.
and christianity is, after all, essentially a death cult. dying is good because you either get to be with jesus or you get punished for eternity for not being christian.
