The real reason the progress made in Republican circles in regard to gay and lesbian acceptance has been reversed over the last few years is that trans rights activists have worked for years to tie supposed “trans rights” to gay rights. The anchoring of the “T” to “LGB” has been successful and has given a perceived credence to the rightwing argument that promoting gay rights is a slippery slope.

One of the perks of writing for us (compared to, say, publishing on Substack), is that you will get feedback from our editors. It's also a way to ensure that someone will carefully read your piece :)
For some people, this is could be a downside - many writers feel weird about being edited. But, we try to do it in a way that helps. We offer praise as well as criticism and explanations.
If you're female, apply now!
