> You are supremely out of tough if you think red states preclude you from being vocally proud of your kids.
Of course you can be vocally proud of said kid. But are you able to "in good faith tell my lgbt child that I support them". Supporting someone is not just words. But perhaps living in a place where they are not handicapped by laws.
> Dont give voice to the extremeists of either party as if they are the norm.
Sure. What about the extremists who are writing the law in those red states? Can I be concerned about those?
