@Klaatu_Veratta_Nectarine Is it possible that people are realising they're getting played by the outrage industry?
Or do people not really enjoy being the centre of international attention for antagonising LGBTQ+ folks?
Or is it just that fighting culture wars is exhausting, expensive and ultimately has no pay-off?
Whatever it is, I hope there are some larger, lasting lessons being learned here.

Totally anecdotal but for almost a year where I am even the most conservative people in my community are just done with the GOP party. They did it to themselves by becoming more and more extreme, outrageous and demanding.
@Klaatu_Veratta_Nectarine I'm grateful to hear that. There is a heightened acceptance of culture-war politics here in Canada, especially among our conservatives.
We're going to have to go through a similar pain before we arrive at a similar conclusion, I'm afraid.
