National Coming Out Day festivities were tempered this year by anxiety that some LGBT folk may have to go back into the closet so they can make a living, depending on what the Supreme Court decides about workplace discrimination law.
But the mere fact that words like"transgender" are being uttered before the nation's highest court gives some supporters of LGBT workplace rights hope that the pendulum will swing in their favor.
Emotionally, the victory for LGBT marriage equality was"huge," said Susan Horowitz, publisher and editor of Between the Lines, an LGBT newspaper in Michigan. But the workplace discrimination case, with its legal ramifications, is bigger, she said. President Donald Trump's attempt to ban transgender people from military service , and the backlash to it, has helped educate people, and some of the questioning felt like"the justices had not caught up with that reality," Minter said, adding it felt like a throwback to a prior era.
Horowitz noted with some surprise the success of Pete Buttigieg's candidacy for the Democratic nomination for president. The gay mayor of South Bend, Indiana, is among the top-polling candidates after starting out as a long shot.
