Wow! This is one of the first times I have heard someone speak about international LGBTQ issues, and how they plan to be solved. It gives me both hope and dread for the future. The hope is for the future LGBTQ youth who may be able to grow and learn about themselves in a safe environment, with policies that support queer people. However, I am also full of dread about the election. If Kamala Harris wins we could be moving forward in society and improving broken standards for the LGBTQ community. Yet on the other side of the coin, if Donald Trump wins the few policies America does have that benefit the queer community will almost certainly be demolished or degraded into backhanded benefits that truly do not aid anyone except the homophobes who set them up in the first place. The political race is close but by voting, and encouraging my peers to do the same, my hope overrides my fear for the future of LGBTQ people like myself in America.
