Stephan:   I was having lunch the other day with a middle-aged gay friend, and we were talking about the changes in gender perception we had both observed in the U.S.  particularly how Millennials have very different views from Baby Boomers; they are far more accepting. We laughed that there were now even transgender television stars. Suddenly an overweight angry White Trumper came over and said with threatening  venom in his voice, "Why don't you just shut up, people are complaining, we're complaining." With a very nasty look he and his wife, who hadn't yet ordered, got up and stomped out of the restaurant. Our waitress, who had witnessed this exchange just rolled her eyes and shook her head. What struck me was not so much what he said, but that he felt it was okay to get up and say it in a public restaurant. This little episode, in my view, occurred because we have a racist president, who several times a week in dog whistles and explicitly tells his followers that racist hate is fine with him, go for it. And my little experience is just one example of a growing trend. This report presents data confirming what I am saying. Is this the world you want to live in?
