I have gay and trans friends

Not after you read them this comment you wrote, dude. Which really gives you too much credit - the trope is literally "I can't be a bigot I have a [gay|black|female] friend".

How, exactly are they marginalized at this point?

I'm not a bigot.

Ring ring, ring ring - reality check calling.

In the first half of 2022 alone, 25 state bills were introduced which sought to make some aspect - or even all aspects - of being transgender illegal.

Obergefell v Hodges, the landmark SCOTUS case which affirmed that two people are allowed to marry regardless of the s*x marker on their government-issued identification documents, is explicitly named in the Dobbs decision - you know, the one that overturned the SCOTUS opinion recognising a right to privacy and by extension a woman's right to reproductive health care? to be next in line to be overturned by a SCOTUS case challenging its basis. No more gay marriage in the USA, real soon, unless miracles happen.

Maybe you have, maybe you haven't been paying attention but there's a whole hundreds-of-thousands-of-people-maybe-more political movement that right now is demanding that LGBTQ people be executed in the street because (they claim) our existence in public corrupts the youth, which - and no one who's graduated high school should have to have this pointed out - is the opening salvo to the kind of oppression and violence that happened in Germany a hundred years ago.

There are public school teachers who are having to leave their job and hide across country because their lives are threatened - or they've actually been assaulted - on the mere allegation that they told their students that LGBTQ people deserve love and respect.

There are public school teachers losing their jobs because they're gay and married.

But you probably don't care about the facts - you're just here to scream about how "LGBTQ people are the real oppressors", along with a whole derail about some Russian Christians.

I'll sign off here by observing the bit in the last card - the reason none of us really wants to take your "Debate meeee!" bait is because we know what your next move is - to dodge to some other derail, or otherwise avoid taking responsibility for putting your boot on our necks and joining a growing genocidal movement targeting us.

So instead we just tell our friends that you're a dangerous psycho who needs to be shown the door.
