Following President-elect Donald Trump's rout of Kamala Harris, many LGBTQ organizations were left reeling. Still, they vowed to continue advocating for their ultimate goal of equality for all LGBTQ people.
They emerged battered but unbowed following Tuesday's election, which was characterized as a populist revolt against inflation and higher prices for consumer goods, foreign interference in global conflicts, unchecked immigration, and liberal viewpoints. The latter issue was motivated, in part, by angst about increased LGBTQ visibility and allegations that schools were "indoctrinating" youth into identifying as LGBTQ.
A Boston man was charged with assault for attacking a transgender woman while she was riding the city's rapid-transit train last month.
Gregory Burnett faces charges of assault and battery causing serious bodily injury, assault and battery, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, and a civil rights violation with injury for repeatedly punching and kicking the victim.
The incident occurred on Halloween, when the victim was riding the Blue Line train, which had stopped at the Maverick station in East Boston, with the doors open, when Burnett boarded the train and began shouting derogatory terms at her, according to NBC News.
Two sitting Democratic congressmen came out publicly against allowing transgender females to compete on women's sports teams.
This continues an alarming trend of people on the political Left blaming LGBTQ visibility as one of the reasons for Republican victories in this year's elections.
Following Donald Trump's win in the presidential race and the start of post-election analyses to determine why most voters shifted heavily away from the Democratic party, U.S. Rep. Tom Suozzi (D-N.Y.) told The New York Times that the party "have to stop pandering to the far left."
