Recent PRRI data shows that 83% of Americans support LGBT nondiscrimination protections. In The 19th*, Kate Sosin reminds Americans that legislation to guarantee these protections for all Americans is now in flux following Democrats’ failure to take the U.S. Senate. “While the Supreme Court ruled in favor of LGBTQ+ workplace protections in the Bostock v. Clayton County case in June, the Trump administration has shown few signs of enforcing the law,” she writes. Additional data shows that majorities of Democrats (94%), independents (85%), and Republicans (68%) favor nondiscrimination laws that protect LGBTQ people.

In The Washington Post, Sarah Pulliam Bailey profiles a Tennessee man who recently cast his first vote as an American citizen. To Yassin Terou, the election was a special one. “It gave him a chance to help end President Trump’s ban on almost all travel from certain Muslim-majority countries. Terou’s brother and father are Syrian refugees living in Turkey, unable to come to America. His father, nearly 70, lives in a wheelchair due to heart conditions and diabetes,” Bailey writes. PRRI data shows that about half (53%) of Americans are opposed to policies that restrict travel from majority Muslim countries, while 45% support such a ban.
