How can the US be credible in advocating for LGBT rights in other countries when we set such a terrible example here at home?

34 states where it’s still legal to fire someone, deny them work, evict them form their rented home, or even refuse them service in a bar or restaurant, use of a bathroom, or access to a public space just because they’re gay or trans, and we’re lecturing other countries on how to treat their LGBT citizens? How is this in any way credible?

I’d love to know the answer to those questions, wouldn’t you?
