Trump is trying to woo moderate voters, but his policy platform is also a far right attack on queerness in public life.
Boston Police arrest a protester outside the Straight Pride Parade in Boston, Massachusetts, on August 31, 2019.As the Republican National Convention kicks off in Wisconsin this week, former President Donald Trump is hoping to woo voters after a shooting by a lone gunman during his rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday.
Of course, queer and transgender people have existed throughout history, and people have used trans and nonbinary as identifiers for decades. While Trump avoids using the word “transgender” in his tirade, it’s clear exactly whom he is targeting when he says that federal law prohibits men from competing in women’s sports. The extremely small number of transgender athletes competing in sports is another dark obsession of the right.
As for public education, Trump vowed to “cut federal funding for any school or program pushing critical race theory, gender ideology, or other inappropriate racial, sexual, or political content on our children.” He also promised to “create a new credentialing body to certify teachers who embrace patriotic values.”
