What happened: Around 7 million people protested the administration in demonstrations across the country. The administration's attacks on LGBTQ+ people were one of the key points of discontent expressed at the protests, and one U.S. senator even wore a trans flag to show his support for the community. Why it matters: While some Democratic party insiders are suggesting abandoning or downplaying LGBTQ+ issues in future elections, the values of equality and inclusion remain important to the party's liberal base.
