BREAKING🚨🏳️‍🌈 Republicans built their entire 2026 midterm strategy on attacking trans people. A new poll just showed only 8% of voters care. GLAAD released its 2026 Pride Poll this week — 5,000 adults, conducted nationally, timed to the start of Pride Month. The findings are striking. Only 8% of registered voters named transgender issues as a top concern. Meanwhile, 44% said inflation and the rising cost of living are their number one priority. That's a 5-to-1 ratio. And this comes after a year in which the Trump administration banned trans people from the military, barred them from federal bathrooms, gutted healthcare access, and tried to seize the private medical records of trans children from hospitals across the country. Voters saw all of it. And most of them said: that's not what's keeping me up at night. Seven in 10 voters said they'd rather support a candidate focused on lowering everyday costs than one focused on restricting trans rights. Nearly three-quarters said they'd back a candidate who believes "everyone deserves to live free from fear and discrimination." And 65% agreed that politicians use trans people as a scapegoat to distract from real problems. That last number is the one that should scare every Republican strategist going into November. Voters aren't just disinterested in the culture war. They've named it. They see through it. "Voters are tired of divisive culture wars that distract from the real issues keeping families up at night like the skyrocketing costs of housing, fuel, healthcare, and groceries," GLAAD CEO Sarah Kate Ellis said in a statement. The GOP ran this play. Trans bans. Anti-trans bills at a record pace. Trump personally signing executive orders. Hundreds of pieces of legislation targeting a community that makes up less than 1% of the population. And after all of it — after all the fear, the cruelty, the headlines — only 8% of the country called it their top issue. They used trans people as a political weapon. The voters just handed it back.
