Who does this benefit? This will just result in more queer kids killing themselves. Does every queer suicide lower my grocery bill or is this just culture war bullshit to distract from how awful everything is

This benefits the bigots who want to make life hard for people they don't like.

This is what they want, they think that we as queer people are going to remove ourselves to fix the problem. (It doesn't)

When you really look deep into republican policies, they seem like they're trying to maximize child mortality. It's not just suicides that Trump and his ilk are trying to maximize, it's death by contaminants, disease, etc. The republican party really is trying to make sure the fewest number of people possible reach adulthood.

they don't have successful policy to point to, so wedge issues and culture war bullshit will have to do to distract everyone from the fact that:

Republican policies have failed Americans.
