Citing 2019 as"the deadliest year on record for transgender Americans," Porter breaks down how Trump's presidency has dismantled and attacked LGBTQ rights.has offered a counterpoint of sorts to President Donald Trump's State of the Union address with his "LGBTQ State of the Union."
He added that while "our nation has survived the first term of Donald Trump, but who's to say what another term would do to this country, to democracy and truly to the entire world." He pointed out that 2019 was "the deadliest year on record for transgender Americans," adding that "this heinous violence against trans people, which disproportionately affects trans women of color is nothing short of an epidemic." He added that according to the FBI, hate crime violence has reached a 16-year high."We must confront it as a community and as a country, and we must elect officials who recognize it for the crisis that it is," Porter emphasized.
And this not only impacts the LGBTQ community, per Porter, who said we live in an era where truth is under attack, white supremacy is being normalized and women's reproductive rights are once again under attack, not to mention ongoing concerns with gun violence and climate change.But it's not all bad, as Porter wrapped up his statement with a look at the ongoing positive changes on the social front.
TooFab Gays and trans have more rights in this country than minorities.😫 go back in closet I'm tired of explaining to my son why a man is wearing a dress or look like a girl...
TooFab If you’re part of the LGBT COMMUNITY, I’m reaching out and telling you... Do not buy property in a Red State, especially Northern Arkansas because your safety is at risk! That’s ONE EXTREME and the other is this.. Do not go to the UK because Muslim refugees are hunting gay men
TooFab I’m sorry the LGBT community is suffering. Both political extremes are wrong! I paid for a road or a necessity easement in Arkansas. The old retired Sheriff had his family cut off my road because they know I’m a liberal and they think I’m bringing 100 Muslims out there with me.
TooFab What’s the crisis? Not a single damn thing the left has said has come true. Shit is better than it’s been in a long time. I’m getting tired of the hyperbole...
TooFab This is stupid.
TooFab OK beyonce VIRGOS......... Who runs the world GIRLS GIRLS.
TooFab Where is this happening ? Not in my State Only states that claim to be tolerant Liberal States are the hypocrites
TooFab
TooFab Here are the factual statistics; there is a very high rate of violence and abuse within the gay community, especially within the trans female community, but the majority of that data sites other gays within their own community as the abusers. Why doesn’t he address that fact?
TooFab I fail to see how President Trump has attacked LGBT rights. Someone please explain...thanks! fakenews creates hate.
TooFab Yeah and it's usually related to his sartorial choices
TooFab crises for what? wealthy nation, powerful. He could move to Venezuela or Cuba.

TooFab Now our side could also learn a lesson in manners.. not your Host though, he’s always polite just like our Mayor
TooFab The MIDDLE CLASS is doing great in Red States. But they call US (me too) or us Democrats, freaks & worse! We can not B politically correct anymore. There is RELIGIOUS DOGMA that rules Red States & they R stealing from our hard working LGBT communities & the poorest N our cities
TooFab Probably
TooFab Yes.. it’s true.. the children at the border are pawns too. Next Mr Trumps plan is to target the OLDEST RECIPIENTS OF SSD with HEAVY RE-EVALUATIONS EVERY 2 YEARS. These are people in their 50’s and 60’s and the group no one wants to hire. I’m having issues in Red States too
