Okay, Indeed, I get that you are trying to do a good thing. I would like some parts of the USA to get better at dealing with all sorts of individuals, including those in the LGBT+ Community. However, I'm also completely against this action for a simple reason - ableism. As Ci-gender woman that has well-controlled Epilepsy, I've been discriminated against within my own workplace (Walmart being the worst). I asked for reasonable accommodations and the Scheduling manager (i.e. Personal) kept scheduling me in ways that went against my accommodations and/or "kept forgetting" about the Epilepsy. I had to go to corporate to get help, and their Sedgwick thought that demotion = accommodation, which is why I ended up quitting that job for good. Keep in mind, I'm someone disabled that can: legal drive most of the time, hold a job, be able to attend college classes, advocate for herself, etc. Many people with both visible disabilities and/or invisible disabilities CAN"T keep a job due to how the ADA is ignored and/or interrupted by various organizations. If you want full inclusivity, help the people that were messed up by complete happenstance FIRST. Find a way to make employers understand the ADA and work with the ADA, PROPERLY.
