You can’t try to paint them as the bad guys by saying some Republicans want to criminalize homosexuality. Someone could easily rebound back and say that some Democrats want abortion available at every point in a pregnancy, for example.
It’s simply not wise.
As for banning transgender people from the military; 1, they are a very small percentage of the population in the first place, and an even smaller percentage of this already small percentage will go into the military. It’s not a very impactful law, and it’s not only for their safety to an extent (the military isn’t known for being friendly) but also due to the fact that their treatments, if they are undergoing them, could put them at risk.
So how many people does it take before it becomes wrong?
