New DataProgress poll shows that '72% of Democrats, 65% of Independents, and 55% of Republicans think that there is 'too much legislation' aimed at limiting the rights of transgender and gay people in America.'
U.S. voters across the political spectrum believe the flood of anti-LGTBQ+ legislation nationwide—including the wave specifically aimed at the transgender community—is"excessive, political theater" designed to sow further division in the country and win partisan points.
Citing nearly 430 separate bills that have moved or are moving through state legislatures this year, the survey found that the large majority of U.S. voters believe the Republican Party is using such proposals as a"wedge issue" to sow division or gain political advantage. "Political leaders should not hesitate to call out Republicans on their manipulative political tactics," the trio writes."Furthermore, they should use their platform to make the country more aware of queer people and queer issues."
Another thing made clear in the poll is that Republicans are losing the narrative war at a national level with voters even as their state-level assault on trans and gay rights runs at full steam.
