Show-Me Population Loss Consequence Of Alleged Anti-LGBTQ+ Policy

This simple equation is a big part of the global market economy and seems to be transforming the centuries old idea of the nation-state . . .

Less people = Less money. 

Sorry but that's a capitalistic axiom that doesn't care about nationalistic, populist politics. 

Meanwhile . . . 

Let's not deny that crackdowns on trans people in Missouri have garnered OVERWHELMING SUPPORT FROM THE ELECTORATE . . .

LGBTQ+ people moving away is a feature and not a bug when it comes to some supporters of policy targeting this population.

Check-it . . .  

Analysis by the Movement Advancement Project estimates that around $362 million to $879 million in household income has left the state, a number that is expected to increase.

The estimate is based on a survey conducted by MAP in collaboration with The Trevor Project, a mental health nonprofit for LGBTQ+ youth. Their research shows that among LGBTQ+-identifying people ages 13 to 24, around 39% have considered moving to a different state and 4% have already moved because of policies targeting gay and transgender people.

“There is good reason to suspect this 4% estimate may be even higher in Missouri,” the report says.

Missouri is one of 10 states highlighted in the study as having a higher proportion of respondents moving away.
