Dec 2016

It will start with EOs from President Obama being reversed. Local laws will get passed leading to state laws, some lawsuits will emerge, most will likely die in the states, and suddenly it will look like the mid-90's, then after another year, it will be the mid-80's. It won't matter that people never learned their history of the GLBT struggle, they will get to watch it all over again.
