The Nation article: Will more states try to protect marriage equality with Donald Trump back in office?
From Mother Jones
"Project 2025 contains numerous anti-LGBTQ+ provisions. But for queer Americans and their allies, the document’s danger is not just the specific proposals: it is its framing of LGBTQ+ identity as harmful to children. This child protection rhetoric is a proverbial bad penny, turning up again and again to impede queer people’s rights. But each time, the LGBTQ+ community has managed to defeat the argument—and has gained new rights in the process."

“Project 2025 is driven by a far-right desire to turn America back to the 1920s, or even further back,” says Bitecofe. “It’s quite clear the goal is a religious-based biblical argument of morality,” targeted against trans rights, the LGBTQ community, marriage equality, and the reproductive control of women."
"Despite Trump’s attempts to separate himself from Project 2025, the ACLU’s Gillian Branstetter describes his positions on LGBTQ rights and the relevant elements of the project as “kind of inseparable. There really isn’t any daylight between what Trump is saying and what 2025 is saying,” Branstetter says. The strongest confirmation of this comes from Trump’s own words."
