When a group of people, LGBTQ youth, feel targeted by the words and laws that some politicians espouse, of course, it can increase anxiety, depression. Many of them are already dealing with challenging issues in their own family. I think what this is it\u2019s an example of Republican overreach on an issue that the American people have long moved past. The American people as a whole are completely accepting of who people love and how they live their lives. These hard policies about saying certain youth can\u2019t play sports and certain people aren\u2019t allowed in certain places or are micromanaging what restroom people use and mandating what they do are frankly un-American and are an example of Republican overreach, which will ultimately hurt their party if they can\u2019t espouse the full diversity of the American people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Follow Pam Key on Twitter <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/pamkeyNEN\">@pamkeyNEN<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Governor Jared Polis\u00a0(D-CO) said Sunday on CNN\u2019s \u201cState of the Union\u201d that Republicans \u201canti-LGBTQ legislation\u201d is un-American and will hurt their party.
