@raphjd You do know how politics work, right? It's very easy to look back and criticize, but at the time, DATL was considered a huge leap forward and Republicans were screaming about it. And we STILL have Republicans screaming about gays/trans in the military, schools, and everywhere else.
Notice who NOW supports the Religious Freedoms Acts.
You talk to me as if "I wasn't there." I've watched this whole process unfold over the past 50 years, and that's why I am calling bullshit on your assessment.
But like I said, it doesn't matter. You will do anything you can to vilify the left while ignoring or rationalizing the right. It's disingenuous and you know it.
So vote for your beloved Republicans. I don't give a shit.
