"Republicans build momentum as they drive anti-LGBTQ legislation nationwide - CNNPolitics" https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2022/04/22/politics/republicans-anti-lgbtq-legislation/index.html.

Yes...passing bullshit laws or threatening to revoke gays rights to marry is totally not a driving force pushing up the rise in hate crimes. And this is why we block you. You pretend that you're proving a point when all you're doing is focusing on a leaf of a desire for a specific quote instead of paying attention to the entire forest of anti gay rhetoric being spewed daily by conservative outlets.

Who do you think is backing all the anti-lgbtq legislation? And what do you think it does to ppl when they are having lawmakers push legislation etc that makes them second class citizens? It pushes up hate crimes and sucidies and you know damn well that is what they want. Or are you purposely being obtuse because you're not getting a direct quote?
