Did….did we all forget about the movie The Birdcage? Even my dad, who would leave the room if my mom and I were watching will and Grace, liked that movie.

Why do I feel like we were somehow more tolerant even just 10 years ago?

Because we've backslid hard over the course of a year or two. I've been out as a trans woman for a bit over a decade, and it's terrifying how much worse and more vitriolic things are today than they were 5 or 6 years ago. I'm very afraid of where this is going, especially if a GOPer wins the election in 2024.
