I don't have any overall statistics, probably because they don't exist. But I can anecdotally report that I have heard radical "we need to force them if they dont listen" rhetoric from the LGBTQ-Circles several times already in the past years. To your other question: I perceive DEI, and most other "inclusion" efforts I've seen so far, mostly as a strawman. We basically failed with digital accessibility and more inclusion in the workplace for people with disabilities. If I am not mistaken, the US and EU still stand somewhere around 80% unemployment for people with disabilities. To me, DEI is an attempt to hide that failure by including a lot more marginalized groups, which at the end of the day do not need so much adaptation as people with disabilities do. So IMO, DEI is trying to hide the fact that inclusion of people with disabilities has already failed. And its mixing up too many groups with different needs. I have absolutely nothing in common with a LGBTQ-person when it comes to my needs as a blind guy. There is no overlap, and I dont feel represented when they have their pride month. But they are so loud that the needs of my community have been silenced by now. Which confirms my intuition with DEI. Meanwhile, teachers are telling me they are working with their classes to find a new word for "disability". If that is the outcome of DEI, people endlessly engaging in wordgames, instead of working on the actual hard problems, I don't need anything from it. Its useless waste of time and dumbing down of the actual problems at hand.

So in the end, the (conservative) governement restricts the means available to help people, and now you are fighting against other "different" people to get your share of the meager scraps they toss your way. Congratulations, you are being played. In the end, the Conservatives will destroy DEI and repress LGBTQ - and you won't have any more help as a blind person, because they never really cared and just manipulated you into hating "the gays" instead of hating them. Trump HATES you deeply, you know? He despises you, as a loser, a cripple, someone less-than-human. It is just that gay people are more politically active and visible, so they are more useful as a foe for his "two minutes of hate" - for now.

    Oh yeah, you are offended by my style of writing. Good excuse to not adress any factual point listed in my answer. "Il n'est pire aveugle que celui qui ne veut pas voir."

      "Some people were mean to me one time on the internet, so in return I'll not support multiple groups of people I think they were associating with". Yeah, right. I don't think this user ever wanted to support "that bunch".

      Ahh, using my disability in a subtle derogatory way. That is really nice of you! Are you really so full of hate that you couldn't refrain from doing that? Anyway, thanks for the ad-hominum, and thanks for confirming why I don't want to support "your bunch".

Damn those extremists - don't they know how women got the vote, how racial segregation was ended and how persecution of gays by the police was addressed? They really need some civics lesson!
