Anyone with two working brain cells supports equal rights for the citizens of this country and ALL its states; regardless who the people are, regardless what they do.

Once the republicans have milked this for all the hate they can wring from it, they'll move on and we'll not hear "trans" used as a slur.

Who knows what they'll rile up their haters with next.

Equal rights means that when you create laws and policy you strip away all the differences such as race, gender, sexual preferences, etc.

The cult of intersectionality does the complete opposite.

Can you show us a bill that's been passed into law that implements policy as this so called "cult of intersectionality" you invented intends to do?

Exactly what laws protecting equal rights should do.

We need more of them apparently.

Like the Marriage Equality Act? Or the Loving act, which allowed people of two different races to marry? I think that serves a purpose. It also serves a purpose in holding organizations and employers to account for unfair practices based on ant number of factors.

Yes, we shouldn't need these rules, because it's in the constitution. But since the founding, laws were interpreted differently based on gender, race and religious practice.

Loving was a SCOTUS case.

What's your point?

You called it the Loving Act. That would be a law. But instead it was a supreme court case -- Loving v. Virginia.

Yes, you're right. But the precedent for interracial marriage was set with that decision.

Race and gender no longer exist?

I'm sure you were equally outraged about the all of the St Patrick's day parades and how they create divisions between the Irish decendants and the other less boozy ethic groups
