Similarities with the #MoralPanic of Today
Today, the #LGBTQ+ #community is facing a resurgence of #hate and #bigotry similar to the one during #TheBriggsInitiative #era. Several #factors highlight these similarities:
#Epidemic of #Hateful #Legislation #Targeting #LGBTQ+ Individuals: Just as #Proposition6 aimed to #ban #LGBTQ+ #individuals from #publicschool #jobs, modern #legislation in #RedStates seeks to #restrict #LGBTQ+ #rights, particularly targeting #transgender individuals.

#Proposition6, also known as #TheBriggsInitiative, was introduced in 1978 by #conservative #California #statesenator #JohnBriggs. This #initiative aimed to #ban #gays and #lesbians, and possibly their #supporters, from #working in California's #publicschools.
The measure was rooted in the #fear and #prejudice that #gay #teachers would negatively #influence #children and #promote the "#homosexuallifestyle."
