A majority of Alachua County voters appear to oppose an ordinance protecting trangender rights and believe the county is headed in the wrong direction, according to a poll conducted by a firm co-owned by the county Republican Party chairman.
The April 1 poll of 516 voters found 56 percent of respondents either strongly or somewhat opposed the ordinance. A nearly identical number agreed with the statement that things in the county "have gotten off on the wrong track."

Yup. Texas, Kansas, Ohio, Florida. Some of the worst places to live if you aren't a straight, gender-conforming rightwinger.

Even for a Republican-sponsored poll (which is bound to phrase questions favorable for their mission), they could only muster 56% as being remotely against the bill?
I think there's hope. ;D
