Trump banned me, and all of my closest friends, from serving in the military. I spent 10 years trying to get back in, and it cost me my pension. I'll never live to retirement.

I get MAGA death threats, and accusations of being worse than the anti-Christ on the regular. I lost my job when I came out in deep red Ohio. Anti-LGBT stuff is literally embedded in the party platform.

When people say MAGA, they envision a time before LGBT people could be out. The data from places like Pew show that Trump's base (white evangelicals) is the most anti-LGBT subgroup in America.

Read the room.
